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.
Known Interactions
from curated databases
experimentally determined
Predicted Interactions
gene neighborhood
gene fusions
gene co-occurrence
Others
textmining
co-expression
protein homology

MEI4Meiosis-specific protein involved in forming DSBs; involved in double-strand break (DSBs) formation during meiotic recombination; required for chromosome synapsis and production of viable spores. (408 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
REC114
Protein involved in early stages of meiotic recombination; possibly involved in the coordination of recombination and meiotic division; mutations lead to premature initiation of the first meiotic division.
   
 
 0.990
REC107
Recombination protein 107; Protein involved in early stages of meiotic recombination; involved in coordination between the initiation of recombination and the first division of meiosis; part of a complex (Rec107p-Mei4p-Rec114p) required for ds break formation.
    
 
 0.989
REC104
Protein involved in early stages of meiotic recombination; required for meiotic crossing over; forms a complex with Rec102p and Spo11p necessary during the initiation of recombination.
   
 
 0.948
REC102
Protein involved in early stages of meiotic recombination; required for chromosome synapsis; forms a complex with Rec104p and Spo11p necessary during the initiation of recombination.
   
 
 0.930
SPO11
Meiosis-specific protein that initiates meiotic recombination; initiates meiotic recombination by catalyzing the formation of double-strand breaks in DNA via a transesterification reaction; required for homologous chromosome pairing and synaptonemal complex formation; Belongs to the TOP6A family.
   
 
 0.885
RED1
Protein component of the synaptonemal complex axial elements; involved in chromosome segregation during the first meiotic division; critical for coupling checkpoint signaling to SC formation; promotes interhomolog recombination by phosphorylating Hop1p; also interacts with Mec3p and Ddc1p.
   
  
 0.843
MER1
Meiotic recombination 1 protein; mRNA-binding protein required for meiosis-specific mRNA splicing; required for chromosome pairing and meiotic recombination; Mer1p regulon embraces four essential meiotic pre-mRNAs: REC107, HFM1, AMA1 and SPO22.
   
  
 0.804
SKI8
Antiviral protein SKI8; Ski complex component and WD-repeat protein; mediates 3'-5' RNA degradation by the cytoplasmic exosome; also required for meiotic double-strand break recombination; null mutants have superkiller phenotype.
      
 0.801
HOP1
Meiosis-specific protein required for chromosome synapsis; displays Red1p dependent localization to the unsynapsed axial-lateral elements of the synaptonemal complex; required for chiasma formation; in vitro, displays the ability to promote intra- and intermolecular synapsis between double-stranded DNA molecules and to fold DNA into rigid protein-DNA filaments.
   
  
 0.764
SPO13
Meiosis-specific protein SPO13; Meiotic regulator; involved in maintaining sister chromatid cohesion during meiosis I as well as promoting proper attachment of kinetochores to the spindle during meiosis I and meiosis II; anaphase-promoting complex (APC) substrate that is degraded during anaphase I; expressed only in meiotic cells.
