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

MF(ALPHA)2Mating pheromone alpha-factor, made by alpha cells; interacts with mating type a cells to induce cell cycle arrest and other responses leading to mating; also encoded by MF(ALPHA)1, which is more highly expressed; binds copper(II) ions. (120 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
MF(ALPHA)1
Mating pheromone alpha-factor, made by alpha cells; interacts with mating type a cells to induce cell cycle arrest and other responses leading to mating; also encoded by MF(ALPHA)2, although MF(ALPHA)1 produces most alpha-factor; binds copper(II) ions.
   
 
0.991
STE2
Receptor for alpha-factor pheromone; seven transmembrane-domain GPCR that interacts with both pheromone and a heterotrimeric G protein to initiate the signaling response that leads to mating between haploid a and alpha cells; Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 4 family.
    
 0.981
BAR1
Barrierpepsin; Aspartyl protease; secreted into the periplasmic space of mating type a cell; helps cells find mating partners; cleaves and inactivates alpha factor allowing cells to recover from alpha-factor-induced cell cycle arrest; Belongs to the peptidase A1 family.
   
 0.976
STE3
Receptor for a factor pheromone; couples to MAP kinase cascade to mediate pheromone response; transcribed in alpha cells and required for mating by alpha cells, ligand bound receptors endocytosed and recycled to the plasma membrane; GPCR.
   
  
 0.971
SAG1
Alpha-agglutinin of alpha-cells; binds to Aga1p during agglutination, N-terminal half is homologous to the immunoglobulin superfamily and contains binding site for a-agglutinin, C-terminal half is highly glycosylated and contains GPI anchor; To C.albicans ALS1.
   
 
 0.968
MATALPHA1
Transcriptional co-activator that regulates mating-type-specific genes; targets the transcription factor Mcm1p to the promoters of alpha-specific genes; one of two genes encoded by the MATalpha mating type cassette.
   
  
 0.914
HMLALPHA1
Silenced copy of ALPHA1 at HML; ALPHA1 encodes a transcriptional coactivator involved in the regulation of mating-type alpha-specific gene expression.
   
  
 0.872
AFB1
A-factor barrier protein 1; MATalpha-specific a-factor blocker; contributes to mating efficiency under certain conditions; localizes to the cell wall; predicted to be a GPI-attached protein; upregulated by Mcm1p-Alpha1p transcription factor; partially overlaps the dubious ORF YLR041W; Belongs to the SRP1/TIP1 family.
   
    0.871
SUS1
Transcription and mRNA export factor SUS1; Component of both the SAGA histone acetylase and TREX-2 complexes; interacts with RNA polymerase II; involved in mRNA export coupled transcription activation and elongation; involved in post-transcriptional tethering of active genes to the nuclear periphery and to non-nascent mRNP.
    
 
 0.814
KEX2
Kexin, a subtilisin-like protease (proprotein convertase); a calcium-dependent serine protease involved in the activation of proproteins of the secretory pathway; Belongs to the peptidase S8 family. Furin subfamily.
      
 0.810
