STRINGSTRING
STRING protein interaction network
Nodes:
Network nodes represent proteins
splice isoforms or post-translational modifications are collapsed, i.e. each node represents all the proteins produced by a single, protein-coding gene locus.
Node Color
colored nodes:
query proteins and first shell of interactors
white nodes:
second shell of interactors
Node Content
empty nodes:
proteins of unknown 3D structure
filled nodes:
a 3D structure is known or predicted
Edges:
Edges represent protein-protein associations
associations are meant to be specific and meaningful, i.e. proteins jointly contribute to a shared function; this does not necessarily mean they are physically binding to each other.

YSP2Membrane-anchored lipid-binding protein YSP2; Sterol-binding protein; has a probable role in retrograde transport of sterols from the plasma membrane to the ER; contains two StART-like domains that bind sterols and a GRAM domain; co-localizes to puncta in the cortical ER with Sip3p; one of six StART-like domain-containing proteins in yeast that may be involved in sterol transfer between intracellular membranes; conserved across eukaryotes. (1438 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
YPK1
Serine/threonine-protein kinase YPK1; S/T protein kinase; phosphorylates, downregulates flippase activator Fpk1p; inactivates Orm1p and Orm2p by phosphorylation in response to compromised sphingolipid synthesis; involved in the TORC-dependent phosphorylation of ribosomal proteins Rps6a/b (S6); mutations affect receptor-mediated endocytosis and sphingolipid-mediated and cell integrity signaling pathways; human homolog SGK1 can complement a null mutant; human homolog SGK2 can complement a ypk1 ypk2 double mutant; Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. AGC Ser/Thr protein kinase famil [...]

SHE2
SWI5-dependent HO expression protein 2; RNA-binding protein that binds specific mRNAs and interacts with She3p; part of the mRNA localization machinery that restricts accumulation of certain proteins to the bud; binds to ER-derived membranes and targets mRNAs to cortical ER.
    
   0.935
SIP3
Membrane-anchored lipid-binding protein SIP3; Putative sterol transfer protein; has a probable role in retrograde transport of sterols from the plasma membrane to the ER; co-localizes to puncta in the cortical ER with Ysp2p; contains GRAM, StART-like (VASt) and two PH-like domains; one of 6 StART-like domain-containing proteins in yeast that may be involved in sterol transfer between intracellular membranes; conserved across eukaryotes; previously identified as a transcription cofactor that interacts with DNA-bound Snf1p.
   
  
 0.925
LAM1
Membrane-anchored lipid-binding protein LAM1; Putative sterol transfer protein; localizes to puncta in the cortical ER; probable role in retrograde transport of sterols from the plasma membrane to the ER; one of six StART-like domain-containing proteins in yeast that may be involved in sterol transfer between intracellular membranes; conserved across eukaryotes; contains GRAM, StART-like (VASt) and two PH-like domains; Belongs to the SIP3 family.

DSN1
Kinetochore-associated protein DSN1; Essential component of the MIND kinetochore complex; joins kinetochore subunits contacting DNA to those contacting microtubules; Dsn1p phosphorylation promotes interaction between outer and inner kinetochore proteins; kinetochore receptor for monopolin, via interaction with subunit Csm1p; essential for meiotic but not mitotic chromosome segregation; MIND complex consists of Mtw1p, Nnf1p, Nsl1p and Dsn1p; modified by sumoylation; phosphorylated by monopolin subunit Hrr25p.
   
   0.808
LAM4
Membrane-anchored lipid-binding protein LAM4; Sterol-binding protein that localizes to puncta in the cortical ER; sterol binding occurs via two StART-like domains; one of six StART-like domain-containing proteins in yeast that may be involved in intracellular sterol transfer between membranes; conserved across eukaryotes; has both GRAM and StART-like (VASt) domains; the authentic, non-tagged protein is detected in highly purified mitochondria in high-throughput studies.

DGR2
Protein of unknown function; null mutant is resistant to 2-deoxy-D-glucose and displays abnormally elongated buds; DGR2 has a paralog, YMR102C, that arose from the whole genome duplication; Belongs to the WD repeat DGR2 family.
   
 
 0.751
PRY1
Sterol binding protein involved in the export of acetylated sterols; secreted glycoprotein and member of the CAP protein superfamily (cysteine-rich secretory proteins (CRISP), antigen 5, and pathogenesis related 1 proteins); sterol export function is redundant with that of PRY2; may be involved in detoxification of hydrophobic compounds; PRY1 has a paralog, PRY2, that arose from the whole genome duplication.
      
 0.743
USO1
Essential protein involved in vesicle-mediated ER to Golgi transport; binds membranes and functions during vesicle docking to the Golgi; required for assembly of the ER-to-Golgi SNARE complex.
   
   0.735
YMR102C
WD repeat-containing protein YMR102C; Protein of unknown function; transcription is activated by paralogous transcription factors Yrm1p and Yrr1p along with genes involved in multidrug resistance; mutant shows increased resistance to azoles; not an essential gene; YMR102C has a paralog, DGR2, that arose from the whole genome duplication.
