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

PSH1RING finger protein PSH1; E3 ubiquitin ligase targeting centromere-binding protein Cse4p; mediates polyubiquitination and degradation of histone H3 variant Cse4p, preventing its mislocalization to euchromatin independent of Slx5p; ubiquitination of Cse4p may be antagonized by Scm3p. (406 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
CSE4
Histone H3-like centromere protein; associated with promoters, accessible chromatin, RNAPII-bound regions; phosphorylated Cse4p associates with centromeres; required for proper kinetochore function; levels regulated by E3 ubiquitin ligase Psh1p; phosphorylation may destabilize defective kinetochores to promote bi-orientation; ubiquitination of N-terminus regulates proteolysis for faithful chromosome segregation; yeast CSE4 can complement mutations in human homolog CENPA.
   
 
 0.992
UBI4
Polyubiquitin; Ubiquitin; becomes conjugated to proteins, marking them for selective degradation via the ubiquitin-26S proteasome system; essential for the cellular stress response; encoded as a polyubiquitin precursor comprised of 5 head-to-tail repeats; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication stress.
   
 
 0.955
HHT1
Histone H3; core histone protein required for chromatin assembly, part of heterochromatin-mediated telomeric and HM silencing; one of two identical histone H3 proteins (see HHT2); regulated by acetylation, methylation, and phosphorylation; H3K14 acetylation plays an important role in the unfolding of strongly positioned nucleosomes during repair of UV damage.
   
 
 0.939
SPT16
Subunit of the heterodimeric FACT complex (Spt16p-Pob3p); FACT associates with chromatin via interaction with Nhp6Ap and Nhp6Bp, and reorganizes nucleosomes to facilitate access to DNA by RNA and DNA polymerases; specifically required for diauxic shift-induced H2B deposition onto rDNA genes; mutations cause reduced nucleosome occupancy over highly transcribed regions; coregulates transcription with Mot1p through preinitiation complex assembly and nucleosome organization.
    
 
 0.934
RPS31
Fusion protein cleaved to yield ribosomal protein S31 and ubiquitin; ubiquitin may facilitate assembly of the ribosomal protein into ribosomes; interacts genetically with translation factor eIF2B; homologous to mammalian ribosomal protein S27A, no bacterial homolog.
    
 
 0.928
SCM3
Protein SCM3; Nonhistone component of centromeric chromatin; binds to histone H3 variant, Cse4p, and recruits it to centromeres; involved in the assembly and maintenance of Cse4-H4 at centromeres; required for kinetochore assembly and G2/M progression; may protect Cse4p from ubiquitination; homolog of mammalian HJURP.
   
 
 0.912
HHF1
Histone H4; core histone protein required for chromatin assembly and chromosome function; one of two identical histone proteins (see also HHF2); contributes to telomeric silencing; N-terminal domain involved in maintaining genomic integrity.
    
 
 0.892
POB3
Subunit of the heterodimeric FACT complex (Spt16p-Pob3p); FACT associates with chromatin via interaction with Nhp6Ap and Nhp6Bp, and reorganizes nucleosomes to facilitate access to DNA by RNA and DNA polymerases; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication stress; Belongs to the SSRP1 family.
   
 
 0.882
SLX5
Subunit of the Slx5-Slx8 SUMO-targeted Ub ligase (STUbL) complex; role in Ub-mediated degradation of histone variant Cse4p preventing mislocalization to euchromatin; role in proteolysis of spindle positioning protein Kar9p, and DNA repair proteins Rad52p and Rad57p; forms SUMO-dependent nuclear foci, including DNA repair centers; contains a RING domain and two SIM motifs; associates with the centromere; required for maintenance of genome integrity like human ortholog RNF4.
   
 
 0.867
DSN1
Kinetochore-associated protein DSN1; Essential component of the MIND kinetochore complex; joins kinetochore subunits contacting DNA to those contacting microtubules; Dsn1p phosphorylation promotes interaction between outer and inner kinetochore proteins; kinetochore receptor for monopolin, via interaction with subunit Csm1p; essential for meiotic but not mitotic chromosome segregation; MIND complex consists of Mtw1p, Nnf1p, Nsl1p and Dsn1p; modified by sumoylation; phosphorylated by monopolin subunit Hrr25p.
