Yeast protein interaction map
Yeast protein map showing relationships between proteins in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Each dot represents one of the proteins found in this single-celled fungus. Lines link proteins that interact with each other. Proteins are colour-coded by the effect their removal has on the yeast: removal of red proteins was lethal, green was not lethal, orange caused slower growth and yellow had unknown effects. The proteins were removed by removing the gene that coded for their production. The more highly-connected proteins are more important for life. Work done by Jeong et al, at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana, USA

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a yeast protein interaction map, providing a visual representation of the intricate relationships between proteins in the single-celled fungus Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Each dot represents one of the proteins found within this fascinating organism, while lines elegantly connect proteins that interact with each other. To further enhance our understanding, these proteins have been color-coded based on their effects when removed from the yeast. Lethal removal is represented by red dots, green signifies non-lethal removal, orange indicates slower growth upon removal, and yellow denotes unknown effects. The removal process involved eliminating the genes responsible for coding these proteins. The significance of this research lies in uncovering which proteins are vital for yeast survival and overall biological functioning. Highly-connected proteins within this network hold greater importance for sustaining life within the yeast cell. Conducted by Jeong et al at the esteemed University of Notre Dame in Indiana, USA, this groundbreaking work combines elements of biology, genetics, biochemistry, genetic engineering, and biotechnology to unravel the complexities of protein interactions within living organisms. This remarkable image not only highlights scientific progress but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of knowledge in unlocking nature's mysteries.
