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

MSB2Signaling mucin MSB2; Mucin family member involved in various signaling pathways; functions as osmosensor in the Sho1p-mediated HOG pathway; functions in Cdc42p- and MAP kinase-dependent filamentous growth signaling pathway; processed into secreted and cell-associated forms by aspartyl protease Yps1p; potential Cdc28p substrate; Belongs to the HKR1/MSB2 family. (1306 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
SHO1
High osmolarity signaling protein SHO1; Transmembrane osmosensor for filamentous growth and HOG pathways; involved in activation of the Cdc42p- and MAP kinase-dependent filamentous growth pathway and the high-osmolarity glycerol (HOG) response pathway; phosphorylated by Hog1p; interacts with Pbs2p, Msb2p, Hkr1p, and Ste11p.
   
 0.997
CDC42
Cell division control protein 42; Small rho-like GTPase; essential for establishment and maintenance of cell polarity; plays a role late in cell fusion via activation of key cell fusion regulator Fus2p; mutants have defects in the organization of actin and septins; human homolog CDC42 can complement yeast cdc42 mutant.
   
 0.979
OPY2
Protein OPY2; Integral membrane protein that acts as a membrane anchor for Ste50p; involved in the signaling branch of the high-osmolarity glycerol (HOG) pathway and as a regulator of the filamentous growth pathway; overproduction blocks cell cycle arrest in the presence of mating pheromone; relocalizes from vacuole to plasma membrane upon DNA replication stress.
    
 
 0.948
CDC24
Cell division control protein 24; Guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for Cdc42p; required for polarity establishment and maintenance, and mutants have morphological defects in bud formation and shmooing; relocalizes from nucleus to cytoplasm upon DNA replication stress; thermosensitivity of the cdc24-4 mutant in the presence of sorbitol is functionally complemented by human CDC42.
   
 
 0.936
MKC7
Aspartic proteinase MKC7; GPI-anchored aspartyl protease; member of the yapsin family of proteases involved in cell wall growth and maintenance; shares functions with Yap3p and Kex2p; MKC7 has a paralog, YPS1, that arose from the whole genome duplication.
   
 
 0.932
YPS1
Aspartic proteinase 3 subunit alpha; Aspartic protease; hyperglycosylated member of the yapsin family of proteases, attached to the plasma membrane via a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor; involved in nutrient limitation-induced cleavage of the extracellular inhibitory domain of signaling mucin Msb2p, resulting in activation of the filamentous growth MAPK pathway; involved with other yapsins in the cell wall integrity response; role in KEX2-independent processing of the alpha factor precursor.
   
 
 0.922
HKR1
Signaling mucin HKR1; Mucin family member that functions as an osmosensor in the HOG pathway; large, highly glycosylated protein that functions redundantly with Msb2p in Sho1p-mediated osmostresss induction of the HOG signaling pathway; cytoplasmic domain interacts with Ahk1p a scaffold protein that prevents cross talk with the Kss1p MAPK of the filamentous growth pathway; mutant displays defects in beta-1,3 glucan synthesis and bud site selection; Belongs to the HKR1/MSB2 family.
   
0.921
STE20
Serine/threonine-protein kinase STE20; Cdc42p-activated signal transducing kinase; involved in pheromone response, pseudohyphal/invasive growth, vacuole inheritance, down-regulation of sterol uptake; GBB motif binds Ste4p; member of the PAK (p21-activated kinase) family; Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. STE Ser/Thr protein kinase family. STE20 subfamily.
   
 
 0.882
STE11
Serine/threonine-protein kinase STE11; Signal transducing MEK kinase; involved in pheromone response and pseudohyphal/invasive growth pathways where it phosphorylates Ste7p, and the high osmolarity response pathway, via phosphorylation of Pbs2p; regulated by Ste20p and Ste50p; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication stress.
    
 
 0.820
PBS2
MAP kinase kinase of the HOG signaling pathway; activated under severe osmotic stress; mitophagy-specific regulator; plays a role in regulating Ty1 transposition; Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. STE Ser/Thr protein kinase family. MAP kinase kinase subfamily.
