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

prpC2-methylcitrate synthase; Involved in the catabolism of short chain fatty acids (SCFA) via the tricarboxylic acid (TCA)(acetyl degradation route) and via the 2-methylcitrate cycle I (propionate degradation route). Catalyzes the Claisen condensation of propionyl-CoA and oxaloacetate (OAA) to yield 2-methylcitrate (2-MC) and CoA. Also catalyzes the condensation of oxaloacetate with acetyl-CoA to yield citrate but with a lower specificity. (389 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
prpB
2-methylisocitrate lyase; Involved in the catabolism of short chain fatty acids (SCFA) via the 2-methylcitrate cycle I (propionate degradation route). Catalyzes the thermodynamically favored C-C bond cleavage of (2R,3S)-2- methylisocitrate to yield pyruvate and succinate via an alpha-carboxy- carbanion intermediate; Belongs to the isocitrate lyase/PEP mutase superfamily. Methylisocitrate lyase family.

prpD
2-methylcitrate dehydratase; Involved in the catabolism of short chain fatty acids (SCFA) via the tricarboxylic acid (TCA)(acetyl degradation route) and via the 2-methylcitrate cycle I (propionate degradation route). Catalyzes the dehydration of 2-methylcitrate (2-MC) to yield the cis isomer of 2- methyl-aconitate. It is also able to catalyze the dehydration of citrate and the hydration of cis-aconitate at a lower rate. Due to its broad substrate specificity, it seems to be responsible for the residual aconitase activity of the acnAB-null mutant. Belongs to the PrpD family.

prpE
propionate--CoA ligase; Catalyzes the synthesis of propionyl-CoA from propionate and CoA. Also converts acetate to acetyl-CoA but with a lower specific activity (By similarity).
  
 0.996
pta
Phosphate acetyltransferase; Involved in acetate metabolism. Catalyzes the reversible interconversion of acetyl-CoA and acetyl phosphate. The direction of the overall reaction changes depending on growth conditions. On minimal medium acetyl-CoA is generated. In rich medium acetyl-CoA is converted to acetate and allowing the cell to dump the excess of acetylation potential in exchange for energy in the form of ATP. In the N-terminal section; belongs to the CobB/CobQ family.
  
 
 0.977
acs
acetyl-CoA synthetase; Catalyzes the conversion of acetate into acetyl-CoA (AcCoA), an essential intermediate at the junction of anabolic and catabolic pathways. Acs undergoes a two-step reaction. In the first half reaction, Acs combines acetate with ATP to form acetyl-adenylate (AcAMP) intermediate. In the second half reaction, it can then transfer the acetyl group from AcAMP to the sulfhydryl group of CoA, forming the product AcCoA.
  
 0.969
icd
Isocitrate dehydrogenase, specific for NADP+; Protein involved in tricarboxylic acid cycle and anaerobic respiration; Belongs to the isocitrate and isopropylmalate dehydrogenases family.
  
 
 0.959
scpC
propionyl-CoA:succinate CoA transferase; Catalyzes the transfer of coenzyme A from propionyl-CoA to succinate. Could be part of a pathway that converts succinate to propionate; Belongs to the acetyl-CoA hydrolase/transferase family.
  
 0.956
pflB
Formate acetyltransferase 1; Protein involved in anaerobic respiration and cellular amino acid catabolic process.
     
 0.950
tdcE
Pyruvate formate-lyase 4/2-ketobutyrate formate-lyase; Catalyzes the cleavage of 2-ketobutyrate to propionyl-CoA and formate. It can also use pyruvate as substrate. Belongs to the glycyl radical enzyme (GRE) family. PFL subfamily.
     
 0.948
scpB
methylmalonyl-CoA decarboxylase, biotin-independent; Catalyzes the decarboxylation of (R)-methylmalonyl-CoA to propionyl-CoA. Could be part of a pathway that converts succinate to propanoate.
