Proteins interact with each other and organize themselves into macromolecular machines (i.e., complexes) to carry out essential functions of cells.

Protein pairwise interactions and complexes

• We measured stable protein-protein interactions based co-fractionation mass spectrometry of 12 taxonomically diverse plant species (and tested in a 13th species, maize)
• Interactions can be queried using either UniProt Entry, Entry name, gene name, or TAIR AT locus ID.
• Higher-order multiprotein complexes were derived by clustering the pairwise interactions, and are presented with four different levels of clustering stringency, from most restrictive (smallest clusters) to most inclusive (largest clusters)

A note on orthology:

• As protein complexes were derived from multi-species data, they are indexed by eggNOG DB plant-level (virNOG) orthogroupID
• These orthogroups take the form ENOG411XXXX, and can be searched at the eggNOG website
• Due to gene expansions since the last common ancestor of plant, each orthogroup may contain more than one protein from a species
