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

MUK1Protein MUK1; Guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF); involved in vesicle-mediated vacuolar transport, including Golgi-endosome trafficking and sorting through the multivesicular body (MVB); specifically stimulates the intrinsic guanine nucleotide exchange activity of Rab family members (Vps21p/Ypt52p/Ypt53p); partially redundant with GEF VPS9; required for localization of the CORVET complex to endosomes; contains a VPS9 domain. (612 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
GCD7
Beta subunit of the translation initiation factor eIF2B; the guanine-nucleotide exchange factor for eIF2; activity subsequently regulated by phosphorylated eIF2; first identified as a negative regulator of GCN4 expression; human homolog EIF2B2 can complement yeast mutant, allows growth down-regulation of yeast gene; Belongs to the eIF-2B alpha/beta/delta subunits family.

VPS9
Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 9; Guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) and ubiquitin receptor; involved in vesicle-mediated vacuolar transport, including Golgi-endosome trafficking and sorting through the multivesicular body (MVB); stimulates the intrinsic guanine nucleotide exchange activity of Rab family members (Vps21p/Ypt52p/Ypt53p); partially redundant with GEF MUK1; required for localization of the CORVET complex to endosomes; similar to mammalian ras inhibitors; contains a Ub-interacting CUE domain.

VPS21
Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 21; Endosomal Rab family GTPase; required for endocytic transport and sorting of vacuolar hydrolases; required for endosomal localization of the CORVET complex; required with YPT52 for MVB biogenesis and sorting; involved in autophagy and ionic stress tolerance; geranylgeranylation required for membrane association; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication stress; mammalian Rab5 homolog; VPS21 has a paralog, YPT53, that arose from the whole genome duplication.
   
 
 0.929
YPT52
GTP-binding protein YPT52; Endosomal Rab family GTPase; required for vacuolar protein sorting, endocytosis and multivesicular body (MVB) biogenesis and sorting; required for localization of the CORVET complex to endosomes; involved in autophagy and ionic stress tolerance; similar to Vps21p and Ypt53p; mammalian Rab5 homolog; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication stress.
    
 
 0.922
YPT53
GTP-binding protein YPT53; Stress-induced Rab family GTPase; required for vacuolar protein sorting and endocytosis; involved in ionic stress tolerance; similar to Vps21p and Ypt52p; functional homolog of Vps21p; mammalian Rab5 homolog; YPT53 has a paralog, VPS21, that arose from the whole genome duplication.

VPS35
Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 35; Endosomal subunit of membrane-associated retromer complex; required for retrograde transport; receptor that recognizes retrieval signals on cargo proteins, forms subcomplex with Vps26p and Vps29p that selects cargo proteins for retrieval; interacts with Ypt7p; overexpression of wild-type human VPS35 or Parkinson's-associated vps35-D686N or vps35-P299S variants complements Ni2+ resistance and Cd2+ sensitivity of yeast vps35 null mutant.
   
 
 0.860
VPS5
Nexin-1 homolog; required for localizing membrane proteins from a prevacuolar/late endosomal compartment back to late Golgi; structural component of retromer membrane coat complex; forms a retromer subcomplex with Vps17p; required for recruiting the retromer complex to the endosome membranes; VPS5 has a paralog, YKR078W, that arose from the whole genome duplication.
   
 
 0.848
VPS29
Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 29; Subunit of the membrane-associated retromer complex; endosomal protein; essential for endosome-to-Golgi retrograde transport; forms a subcomplex with Vps35p and Vps26p that selects cargo proteins for endosome-to-Golgi retrieval; Belongs to the VPS29 family.
