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

[Homology]
Score
HFM1Meiosis specific DNA helicase; involved in the conversion of double-stranded breaks to later recombination intermediates and in crossover control; catalyzes the unwinding of Holliday junctions; has ssDNA and dsDNA stimulated ATPase activity. (1187 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
MSH4
MutS protein homolog 4; Protein involved in meiotic recombination; required for normal levels of crossing over, colocalizes with Zip2p to discrete foci on meiotic chromosomes, has homology to bacterial MutS protein; Belongs to the DNA mismatch repair MutS family.
   
 
 0.992
MSH5
Protein of the MutS family; forms a dimer with Msh4p that facilitates crossovers between homologs during meiosis; msh5-Y823H mutation confers tolerance to DNA alkylating agents; homologs present in C. elegans and humans.
   
  
 0.985
SPO22
Sporulation-specific protein 22; Meiosis-specific protein essential for chromosome synapsis; involved in completion of nuclear divisions during meiosis; induced early in meiosis.
   
 
 0.968
PRP8
Pre-mRNA-splicing factor 8; Component of U4/U6-U5 snRNP complex; involved in second catalytic step of splicing; participates in spliceosomal assembly through its interaction with U1 snRNA; largest and most evolutionarily conserved protein of the spliceosome; mutations in human ortholog, PRPF8, cause Retinitis pigmentosa and missplicing in Myelodysplastic syndrome; mouse ortholog interacts with androgen receptor and may have a role in prostate cancer.
   
 
 0.943
MLH1
Protein required for mismatch repair in mitosis and meiosis; also required for crossing over during meiosis; forms a complex with Pms1p and Msh2p-Msh3p during mismatch repair; human homolog is associated with hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer; Belongs to the DNA mismatch repair MutL/HexB family.
   
 
 0.935
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.
   
  
 0.933
MUS81
Subunit of structure-specific Mms4p-Mus81p endonuclease; cleaves branched DNA; involved in DNA repair, replication fork stability, and joint molecule formation/resolution during meiotic recombination; promotes template switching during break-induced replication (BIR), causing non-reciprocal translocations (NRTs); helix-hairpin-helix protein; phosphorylation of non-catalytic subunit Mms4p by Cdc28p and Cdcp during mitotic cell cycle activates function of Mms4p-Mus81p; Belongs to the XPF family.
  
  
 0.924
PRP6
Splicing factor; component of the U4/U6-U5 snRNP complex.
   
 
 0.910
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.
   
  
 0.903
CDC40
Pre-mRNA-processing factor 17; Pre-mRNA splicing factor; important for catalytic step II of pre-mRNA splicing and plays a role in cell cycle progression, particularly at the G1/S phase transition; required for DNA synthesis during mitosis and meiosis; has WD repeats; thermosensitivity of the cdc40 null mutant is functionally complemented by a chimeric construct containing the N-terminal 156 amino acids of yeast Cdc40p fused to the C-terminal two thirds (297 amino acids) of human CDC40.
