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.

IFM1Mitochondrial translation initiation factor 2. (676 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
PUF3
mRNA-binding protein PUF3; Protein of the mitochondrial outer surface; links the Arp2/3 complex with the mitochore during anterograde mitochondrial movement; also binds to and promotes degradation of mRNAs for select nuclear-encoded mitochondrial proteins.
   
 
 0.981
SUI2
Alpha subunit of the translation initiation factor eIF2; eIF2 is involved in identification of the start codon; phosphorylation of Ser51 is required for regulation of translation by inhibiting the exchange of GDP for GTP; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication stress.
   
 
 0.953
GCN2
eIF-2-alpha kinase GCN2; Protein kinase; phosphorylates the alpha-subunit of translation initiation factor eIF2 (Sui2p) in response to starvation; activated by uncharged tRNAs and the Gcn1p-Gcn20p complex; contributes to DNA damage checkpoint control.
  
  
 0.952
FMT1
Methionyl-tRNA formyltransferase, mitochondrial; Methionyl-tRNA formyltransferase; catalyzes the formylation of initiator Met-tRNA in mitochondria; potential Cdc28p substrate.
  
 
 0.911
MRPS5
Mitochondrial ribosomal protein of the small subunit.
   
 
 0.890
RPS3
Protein component of the small (40S) ribosomal subunit; has apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease activity; essential for viability; nascent Rps3p is bound by specific chaperone Yar1p during translation; homologous to mammalian ribosomal protein S3 and bacterial S3.
   
 
 0.877
MRPS12
37S ribosomal protein S12, mitochondrial; Mitochondrial protein; may interact with ribosomes based on co-purification experiments; similar to E. coli and human mitochondrial S12 ribosomal proteins; Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS12 family.
  
 
 0.867
AEP3
ATPase expression protein 3; Peripheral mitochondrial inner membrane protein; may facilitate use of unformylated tRNA-Met in mitochondrial translation initiation; stabilizes the bicistronic AAP1-ATP6 mRNA.
   
 
 0.862
RSM23
Mitochondrial ribosomal protein of the small subunit; has similarity to mammalian apoptosis mediator proteins; null mutation prevents induction of apoptosis by overproduction of metacaspase Mca1p.
   
 
 0.860
GCD11
Gamma subunit of the translation initiation factor eIF2; involved in the identification of the start codon; binds GTP when forming the ternary complex with GTP and tRNAi-Met; mutations in human ortholog cause X-linked intellectual disability (XLID); Belongs to the TRAFAC class translation factor GTPase superfamily. Classic translation factor GTPase family. EIF2G subfamily.
