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

PEX16Peroxisomal membrane protein PEX16; Required for peroxisome membrane biogenesis. May play a role in early stages of peroxisome assembly. Can recruit other peroxisomal proteins, such as PEX3 and PMP34, to de novo peroxisomes derived from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). May function as receptor for PEX3. Belongs to the peroxin-16 family. (346 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
PEX19
Peroxisomal biogenesis factor 19; Necessary for early peroxisomal biogenesis. Acts both as a cytosolic chaperone and as an import receptor for peroxisomal membrane proteins (PMPs). Binds and stabilizes newly synthesized PMPs in the cytoplasm by interacting with their hydrophobic membrane-spanning domains, and targets them to the peroxisome membrane by binding to the integral membrane protein PEX3. Excludes CDKN2A from the nucleus and prevents its interaction with MDM2, which results in active degradation of TP53.
   
 0.999
PEX3
Peroxisomal biogenesis factor 3; Involved in peroxisome biosynthesis and integrity. Assembles membrane vesicles before the matrix proteins are translocated. As a docking factor for PEX19, is necessary for the import of peroxisomal membrane proteins in the peroxisomes; Belongs to the peroxin-3 family.
   
 0.995
PEX12
Peroxisome assembly protein 12; Required for protein import into peroxisomes.
     
 0.980
PEX13
Peroxisomal membrane protein PEX13; Component of the peroxisomal translocation machinery with PEX14 and PEX17. Functions as a docking factor for the predominantly cytoplasmic PTS1 receptor (PAS10/PEX5). Involved in the import of PTS1 and PTS2 proteins.
     
 0.977
PEX14
Peroxisomal membrane protein PEX14; Peroxisome membrane protein that is an essential component of the peroxisomal import machinery. Functions as a docking factor for the predominantly cytoplasmic PTS1 receptor (PEX5). Plays a key role for peroxisome movement through a direct interaction with tubulin.
   
 0.971
PEX10
Peroxisome biogenesis factor 10; Somewhat implicated in the biogenesis of peroxisomes.
   
  
 0.962
PEX2
Peroxisome biogenesis factor 2; Somewhat implicated in the biogenesis of peroxisomes; Belongs to the pex2/pex10/pex12 family.
   
 
 0.962
PEX6
Peroxisome assembly factor 2; Involved in peroxisome biosynthesis. Required for stability of the PTS1 receptor. Anchored by PEX26 to peroxisome membranes, possibly to form heteromeric AAA ATPase complexes required for the import of proteins into peroxisomes.
   
  
 0.960
PEX5
Peroxisomal targeting signal 1 receptor; Binds to the C-terminal PTS1-type tripeptide peroxisomal targeting signal (SKL-type) and plays an essential role in peroxisomal protein import.
   
  
 0.960
PEX26
Peroxisome assembly protein 26; Probably required for protein import into peroxisomes. Anchors PEX1 and PEX6 to peroxisome membranes, possibly to form heteromeric AAA ATPase complexes required for the import of proteins into peroxisomes. Involved in the import of catalase and proteins containing a PTS2 target sequence, but not in import of proteins with a PTS1 target sequence.
