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:
some 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

Score
GAL2Mfs transporter, sp family, sugar:h+ symporter; Galactose permease; required for utilization of galactose; also able to transport glucose (574 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
GAL7
UDPglucose--hexose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase; Galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase; synthesizes glucose-1-phosphate and UDP-galactose from UDP-D-glucose and alpha-D-galactose-1-phosphate in the second step of galactose catabolism; human homolog UGP2 can complement yeast null mutant
   
 
 0.996
GAL10
Bifunctional protein GAL10; UDP-glucose-4-epimerase; catalyzes interconversion of UDP-galactose and UDP-D-glucose in galactose metabolism; also catalyzes conversion of alpha-D-glucose or alpha-D-galactose to their beta-anomers; human homolog GALE implicated in galactosemia, can complement yeast null mutant
   
 
 0.996
GAL1
Galactokinase; phosphorylates alpha-D-galactose to alpha-D-galactose-1-phosphate in the first step of galactose catabolism; expression regulated by Gal4p; human homolog GALK2 complements yeast null mutant; GAL1 has a paralog, GAL3, that arose from the whole genome duplication
   
 
 0.990
GAL80
Galactose/lactose metabolism regulatory protein GAL80; Transcriptional regulator involved in the repression of GAL genes; involved in the repression of GAL genes in the absence of galactose; inhibits transcriptional activation by Gal4p; inhibition relieved by Gal3p or Gal1p binding; To K.lactis GAL80
   
 
 0.958
GAL3
Protein GAL3; Transcriptional regulator; involved in activation of the GAL genes in response to galactose; forms a complex with Gal80p to relieve Gal80p inhibition of Gal4p; binds galactose and ATP but does not have galactokinase activity; GAL3 has a paralog, GAL1, that arose from the whole genome duplication; Belongs to the GHMP kinase family. GalK subfamily
   
  
 0.946
URA3
Orotidine-5'-phosphate (OMP) decarboxylase; catalyzes the sixth enzymatic step in the de novo biosynthesis of pyrimidines, converting OMP into uridine monophosphate (UMP); converts 5-FOA into 5-fluorouracil, a toxic compound
      
 0.918
MET2
L-homoserine-O-acetyltransferase; catalyzes the conversion of homoserine to O-acetyl homoserine which is the first step of the methionine biosynthetic pathway; Belongs to the AB hydrolase superfamily. MetX family
      
 0.892
SUC2
Beta-fructofuranosidase suc2; Invertase; sucrose hydrolyzing enzyme; a secreted, glycosylated form is regulated by glucose repression, and an intracellular, nonglycosylated enzyme is produced constitutively; Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 32 family
   
  
 0.875
GAL4
Regulatory protein GAL4; DNA-binding transcription factor required for activating GAL genes; responds to galactose; repressed by Gal80p and activated by Gal3p
      
 0.857
ADE2
Phosphoribosylaminoimidazole carboxylase; catalyzes a step in the 'de novo' purine nucleotide biosynthetic pathway; red pigment accumulates in mutant cells deprived of adenine
    
 
 0.853
