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

Score
NCR1NPC intracellular sterol transporter 1-related protein 1; Vacuolar membrane protein; transits through the biosynthetic vacuolar protein sorting pathway, involved in sphingolipid metabolism; cells lacking Ncr1p exhibit high levels of long chain bases (LCB), similar to the accumulation of high amounts of lipids observed in patients with Neimann-Pick C, a disease caused by loss-of-function mutations in NPC1, the functional ortholog of Ncr1p; Belongs to the patched family. (1170 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
TYE7
Serine-rich protein that contains a bHLH DNA binding motif; binds E-boxes of glycolytic genes and contributes to their activation; may function as a transcriptional activator in Ty1-mediated gene expression; bHLH stands for basic-helix-loop-helix.
   
 
 0.939
HMS1
bHLH protein with similarity to myc-family transcription factors; overexpression confers hyperfilamentous growth and suppresses the pseudohyphal filamentation defect of a diploid mep1 mep2 homozygous null mutant.
   
 
 0.937
NPC2
Phosphatidylglycerol/phosphatidylinositol transfer protein; Sterol transport protein and functional homolog of human NPC2/He1; human NPC2 is a cholesterol-binding protein whose deficiency causes Niemann-Pick type C2 disease involving retention of cholesterol in lysosomes; yeast NPC2 can complement mutations in human NPC2; Belongs to the NPC2 family.
    
 
 0.881
NSG2
Protein involved in regulation of sterol biosynthesis; specifically stabilizes Hmg2p, one of two HMG-CoA isoenzymes that catalyze the rate-limiting step in sterol biosynthesis; homolog of mammalian INSIG proteins; NSG2 has a paralog, NSG1, that arose from the whole genome duplication.
   
 
 0.747
NSG1
Protein involved in regulation of sterol biosynthesis; specifically stabilizes Hmg2p, one of two HMG-CoA isoenzymes that catalyze the rate-limiting step in sterol biosynthesis; forms foci at the nuclear periphery upon DNA replication stress; relocalizes to the cytosol in response to hypoxia; homolog of mammalian INSIG proteins; NSG1 has a paralog, NSG2, that arose from the whole genome duplication.
   
 
 0.744
RLF2
Largest subunit (p90) of the Chromatin Assembly Complex (CAF-1); chromatin assembly by CAF-1 is important for multiple processes including silencing at telomeres, mating type loci, and rDNA; maintenance of kinetochore structure; deactivation of the DNA damage checkpoint after DNA repair; chromatin dynamics during transcription; and repression of divergent noncoding transcription.
   
 
 0.743
YPQ2
Putative vacuolar membrane transporter for cationic amino acids; likely contributes to amino acid homeostasis by exporting cationic amino acids from the vacuole; member of the PQ-loop family, with seven transmembrane domains; mutant phenotype is functionally complemented by rat PQLC2 vacuolar transporter; Belongs to the laat-1 family.
   
 
 0.628
ISC1
Inositol phosphosphingolipid phospholipase C; mitochondrial membrane localized; hydrolyzes complex sphingolipids to produce ceramide; activates genes required for non-fermentable carbon source metabolism during diauxic shift; activated by phosphatidylserine, cardiolipin, and phosphatidylglycerol; mediates Na+ and Li+ halotolerance; ortholog of mammalian neutral sphingomyelinase type 2.
      
 0.619
OSW5
Outer spore wall protein 5; Protein of unknown function with possible role in spore wall assembly; predicted to contain an N-terminal transmembrane domain; osw5 null mutant spores exhibit increased spore wall permeability and sensitivity to beta-glucanase digestion; Belongs to the OSW5 family.
   
  
 0.539
RRT8
Protein involved in spore wall assembly; shares similarity with Lds1p and Lds2p and a strain mutant for all 3 genes exhibits reduced dityrosine fluorescence relative to the single mutants; identified in a screen for mutants with increased levels of rDNA transcription; green fluorescent protein (GFP)-fusion protein localizes to lipid particles; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication stress.
