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

VAC8Vacuolar protein 8; Functions in both vacuole inheritance and protein targeting from the cytoplasm to vacuole; Belongs to the beta-catenin family. (573 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ATG15
Putative lipase ATG15; Lipase which is essential for lysis of subvacuolar cytoplasm to vacuole targeted bodies and intravacuolar autophagic bodies. Involved in the lysis of intravacuolar multivesicular body (MVB) vesicles. The intravacuolar membrane disintegration by ATG15 is critical to life span extension (By similarity); Belongs to the AB hydrolase superfamily. Lipase family.
    
 
 0.962
ATG13
Autophagy-related protein 13; Activates the ATG1 kinase in a nutritional condition dependent manner through the TOR pathway, leading to autophagy. Also involved in cytoplasm to vacuole transport (Cvt) and more specifically in Cvt vesicle formation. Seems to play a role in the switching machinery regulating the conversion between the Cvt pathway and autophagy. Finally, ATG13 is also required for glycogen storage during stationary phase (By similarity).
    
 
 0.928
ATG11
Autophagy-related protein 11; Involved in cytoplasm to vacuole transport (Cvt), pexophagy, mitophagy and nucleophagy. Recruits mitochondria for their selective degradation via autophagy (mitophagy) during starvation. Works as scaffold proteins that recruit ATG proteins to the pre-autophagosome (PAS), the site of vesicle/autophagosome formation. Required for the Cvt vesicles completion (By similarity).
    
 
 0.858
ATG17
Autophagy-related protein 17; Autophagy-specific protein that functions in response to autophagy-inducing signals as a scaffold to recruit other ATG proteins to organize pre-autophagosomal structure (PAS) formation. Modulates the timing and magnitude of the autophagy response, such as the size of the sequestering vesicles. Plays particularly a role in pexophagy and nucleophagy (By similarity); Belongs to the ATG17 family.
      
 0.841
ATG26
Sterol 3-beta-glucosyltransferase; Probable sterol 3-beta-glucosyltransferase that is not involved in cytoplasm to vacuole transport (Cvt), pexophagy or nonselective autophagy (By similarity).
      
 0.767
YALI0_B22066g
Plasma membrane ATPase; Belongs to the cation transport ATPase (P-type) (TC 3.A.3) family. Type IIIA subfamily.
   
  
 0.754
PHO85
Negative regulator of the PHO system; When phosphate concentrations are high it phosphorylates the PHO4 transcription factor thus establishing repression; Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CMGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. CDC2/CDKX subfamily.
   
  
 0.688
PFA3
Palmitoyltransferase PFA3; Palmitoyltransferase specific for VAC8. Palmitoylates VAC8 at one or more of its N-terminal cysteine residues, which is required for its proper membrane localization (By similarity); Belongs to the DHHC palmitoyltransferase family. PFA3 subfamily.
    
 
 0.661
ATG1
Serine/threonine-protein kinase ATG1; Serine/threonine protein kinase involved in the cytoplasm to vacuole transport (Cvt) and found to be essential in autophagy, where it is required for the formation of autophagosomes. Involved in the clearance of protein aggregates which cannot be efficiently cleared by the proteasome. Required for selective autophagic degradation of the nucleus (nucleophagy) as well as for mitophagy which contributes to regulate mitochondrial quantity and quality by eliminating the mitochondria to a basal level to fulfill cellular energy requirements and preventing [...]
    
 
 0.534
SWF1
Palmitoyltransferase SWF1; Palmitoyltransferase that targets several endosomal SNAREs. Palmitoylates the SNAREs at cysteine residues close to the cytoplasmic end of their transmembrane domain. May have a role in the cellular quality control of transmembrane domain-containing proteins (By similarity); Belongs to the DHHC palmitoyltransferase family. SWF1 subfamily.
