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

carVacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 33A; Required for the biogenesis of eye pigment granules. Plays a role in vesicle-mediated protein trafficking to lysosomal compartments and in membrane docking/fusion reactions of late endosomes/lysosomes probably as part of the class C core vacuole/endosome tethering (CORVET) complex. (639 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
dor
Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 18 homolog; Plays a role in vesicle-mediated protein trafficking to lysosomal compartments and in membrane docking/fusion reactions of late endosomes/lysosomes probably as part of the class C core vacuole/endosome tethering (CORVET) complex. In larval neuromuscular junctions, essential for endosomal sorting which traffics old or dysfunctional synaptic vesicle proteins through a degradative endolysosomal route. Required for the biogenesis of eye pigment granules. Required to maintain normal levels of rush, which functions in endosome formation [...]

Vps16A
Vacuolar protein sorting 16A (Vps16A) encodes a subunit of a heterohexameric tethering complex known as homotypic fusion and protein sorting (HOPS). HOPS roles include promoting the fusion of late endosomes, autophagosomes, biosynthetic vesicles, and lysosomes, and the biogenesis of lysosome-related eye pigment granules. The product of Vps16A is also part of miniCORVET (class C core vacuole/endosome tethering), a tethering complex involved in endosome maturation in nephrocytes and blood cells.

Vps16B
Vacuolar protein sorting 16B (Vps16B) encodes a protein that, together with its binding partner encoded by Vps33B, forms a distinct complex necessary for fusions between phagosomes and lysosomes.
   
 0.987
Vps8
Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 8 homolog; Plays a role in vesicle-mediated protein trafficking to lysosomal compartments and in membrane docking/fusion reactions of late endosomes/lysosomes probably as part of the class C core vacuole/endosome tethering (CORVET) complex. Specifically required for endocytic trafficking in a subset of cells, such as hemocytes and nephrocytes, which are highly active in endocytosis.

lt
Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 41 homolog; Light (lt) encodes a cellular-protein trafficking protein that forms part of the homotypic fusion and vacuolar protein sorting (HOPS) and class C core vacuole/endosome tethering (CORVET) complexes. It is required for fusion of autophagosomes with lysosomes, endocytic down-regulation of Notch signaling, and eye pigment biogenesis; Belongs to the VPS41 family.

Vps39
Vacuolar protein sorting 39 (Vps39) encodes a subunit of the homotypic fusion and vacuole protein sorting (HOPS) complex required for autophagosome maturation.
   
 0.982
Vps11
Vacuolar protein sorting 11 (Vps11) encodes a Class C Vps core subunit of HOPS, a heterohexameric tethering complex that consists of the products of car, dor, lt, Vps11, Vps16A and Vps39. HOPS tethers autophagosomes or late endosomes with lysosomes to facilitate fusion. The product of Vps11 roles include autophagosome-lysosome fusion, late endosome-lysosome fusion and biosynthetic trafficking to lysosomes.

Rab7
Rab7 (Rab7) encodes a small GTPase that contributes to vesicle trafficking regulation. It is involved in endosome maturation and fusion with lysosomes.

Ykt6
YKT6 v-SNARE; Protein-cysteine S-palmitoyltransferase activity; SNAP receptor activity. It is involved in the biological process described with: endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi vesicle-mediated transport; retrograde vesicle-mediated transport, Golgi to endoplasmic reticulum; vesicle-mediated transport; Belongs to the synaptobrevin family.
