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

cueRCopper-responsive regulon transcriptional regulator; Regulates the transcription of the copA and cueO genes. It detects cytoplasmic copper stress and activates transcription in response to increasing copper concentrations. (135 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
rpoD
RNA polymerase, sigma 70 (sigma D) factor; Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. This sigma factor is the primary sigma factor during exponential growth. Preferentially transcribes genes associated with fast growth, such as ribosomal operons, other protein-synthesis related genes, rRNA- and tRNA-encoding genes and prfB. Belongs to the sigma-70 factor family. RpoD/SigA subfamily.
 
 
 0.941
cueO
Multicopper oxidase (laccase); Probably involved in periplasmic detoxification of copper by oxidizing Cu(+) to Cu(2+) and thus preventing its uptake into the cytoplasm. Possesses phenoloxidase and ferroxidase activities and might be involved in the production of polyphenolic compounds and the prevention of oxidative damage in the periplasm.
 
  
 0.940
copA
Copper transporter; [Copper-exporting P-type ATPase]: Exports Cu(+) from the cytoplasm to the periplasm. Binds 2 Cu(+) ions per monomer, which are transferred to periplasmic copper chaperone CusF upon ATP hydrolysis. In vitro an excess of CusF over CopA is required for efficient transfer. May also be involved in silver export.
  
 0.930
cusR
Response regulator in two-component regulatory system with CusS; Member of the two-component regulatory system CusS/CusR involved in response to copper and silver. Activates the expression of cusCFBA, hiuH and plasmid pRJ1004 gene pcoE in response to increasing levels of copper or silver ions. Can also increase the basal-level expression of copper resistance gene operon pcoABCD.
    
 
 0.899
cusF
Periplasmic copper- and silver-binding protein; Part of a cation efflux system that mediates resistance to copper and silver. Binds one copper per polypeptide.
   
  
 0.894
zntA
Zinc, cobalt and lead efflux system; Confers resistance to zinc, cadmium and lead. Couples the hydrolysis of ATP with the export of zinc, cadmium or lead, with highest activity when the metals are present as metal-thiolate complexes. Can also bind nickel, copper, cobalt and mercury. Belongs to the cation transport ATPase (P-type) (TC 3.A.3) family. Type IB subfamily.
  
 0.874
cusA
Copper/silver efflux system, membrane component; Part of a cation efflux system that mediates resistance to copper and silver; Belongs to the resistance-nodulation-cell division (RND) (TC 2.A.6) family.
     
 0.845
rpoB
RNA polymerase, beta subunit; DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates.
    
 
 0.833
rpoA
RNA polymerase, alpha subunit; DNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RNAP) catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates. This subunit plays an important role in subunit assembly since its dimerization is the first step in the sequential assembly of subunits to form the holoenzyme.
  
 
 0.823
rpoZ
RNA polymerase, omega subunit; Promotes RNA polymerase assembly. Latches the N- and C- terminal regions of the beta' subunit thereby facilitating its interaction with the beta and alpha subunits.
