Can I claim mortgage interest deduction if my name is in the deed but not on the mortgage?

I bought a house with my sister. She is the only one who is on the mortgage. But I own 50% of the house since I am in the deed. I pay 1/3 of the mortgage each month. Can I claim mortgage interest deduction if I am in the deed and pay 1/3 of the mortgage and utilities in the house, even though I am not in the mortgage?
