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

MAGED4MAGE family member D4. (757 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
MAGED4B
Melanoma-associated antigen D4; May enhance ubiquitin ligase activity of RING-type zinc finger-containing E3 ubiquitin-protein ligases. Proposed to act through recruitment and/or stabilization of the Ubl-conjugating enzyme (E2) at the E3:substrate complex.
  
   
0.999
HSPA4
Heat shock protein family A member 4; Belongs to the heat shock protein 70 family.
    
 
 0.888
CTAG1B
Cancer/testis antigen 1B; Belongs to the CTAG/PCC1 family.
      
 0.695
PMEL
Melanocyte protein PMEL; Plays a central role in the biogenesis of melanosomes. Involved in the maturation of melanosomes from stage I to II. The transition from stage I melanosomes to stage II melanosomes involves an elongation of the vesicle, and the appearance within of distinct fibrillar structures. Release of the soluble form, ME20-S, could protect tumor cells from antibody mediated immunity.
      
 0.692
IL13RA2
Interleukin-13 receptor subunit alpha-2; Binds as a monomer with high affinity to interleukin-13 (IL13), but not to interleukin-4 (IL4).
      
 0.678
GAGE1
G antigen 1; Antigen, recognized on melanoma by autologous cytolytic T- lymphocytes. Completely silent in normal adult tissues, except testis; Belongs to the GAGE family.
      
 0.667
PRAME
Melanoma antigen preferentially expressed in tumors; Functions as a transcriptional repressor, inhibiting the signaling of retinoic acid through the retinoic acid receptors RARA, RARB and RARG. Prevents retinoic acid-induced cell proliferation arrest, differentiation and apoptosis.
      
 0.612
TYR
Tyrosinase; This is a copper-containing oxidase that functions in the formation of pigments such as melanins and other polyphenolic compounds. Catalyzes the initial and rate limiting step in the cascade of reactions leading to melanin production from tyrosine. In addition to hydroxylating tyrosine to DOPA (3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine), also catalyzes the oxidation of DOPA to DOPA-quinone, and possibly the oxidation of DHI (5,6-dihydroxyindole) to indole-5,6 quinone. Belongs to the tyrosinase family.
    
 
 0.597
SSX2
SSX family member 2.
      
 0.570
OIP5
Protein Mis18-beta; Required for recruitment of CENPA to centromeres and normal chromosome segregation during mitosis; Belongs to the mis18 family.
