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

potEPutrescine transporter PotE; Catalyzes both the uptake and excretion of putrescine. The uptake of putrescine is dependent on the membrane potential and the excretion involves putrescine-ornithine antiporter activity. (439 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
speF
Ornithine decarboxylase isozyme, inducible; Protein involved in polyamine biosynthetic process; Belongs to the Orn/Lys/Arg decarboxylase class-I family.
 
  
 0.993
speC
Ornithine decarboxylase, constitutive; Ornithine decarboxylase isozyme; Protein involved in polyamine biosynthetic process.
 
  
 0.934
puuP
Putrescine importer; Involved in the uptake of putrescine. Belongs to the amino acid-polyamine-organocation (APC) superfamily.
  
  
 0.839
adiA
Arginine decarboxylase; ADC can be found in two forms: biodegradative and biosynthetic. The biodegradative form may play a role in regulating pH by consuming proteins; Belongs to the Orn/Lys/Arg decarboxylase class-I family.
 
  
 0.677
cadA
Lysine decarboxylase, acid-inducible; Inducible lysine decarboxylase that catalyzes the proton- dependent decarboxylation of L-lysine to produce the polyamine cadaverine and carbon dioxide. Plays a role in pH homeostasis by consuming protons and neutralizing the acidic by- products of carbohydrate fermentation. Belongs to the Orn/Lys/Arg decarboxylase class-I family.
 
  
 0.649
speE
Spermidine synthase (putrescine aminopropyltransferase); Involved in the biosynthesis of polyamines which play a significant role in the structural and functional organization in the chromoid of E.coli by compacting DNA and neutralizing negative charges. Catalyzes the irreversible transfer (ping-pong mechanism) of a propylamine group from the amino donor S-adenosylmethioninamine (decarboxy-AdoMet) to putrescine (1,4-diaminobutane) to yield spermidine. Cadaverine (1,5-diaminopentane) and spermidine can also be used as the propylamine acceptor.
    
 
 0.625
plaP
Putrescine importer, low affinity; Putrescine importer. Required for induction of type 1 pili- driven surface motility.
  
   
 0.617
ldcC
Lysine decarboxylase 2, constitutive; Plays a role in lysine utilization by acting as a lysine decarboxylase.
 
  
 0.610
potF
Putrescine ABC transporter periplasmic binding protein; Required for the activity of the bacterial periplasmic transport system of putrescine. Polyamine binding protein. Belongs to the bacterial solute-binding protein PotD/PotF family.
      
 0.600
ybfK
Uncharacterized protein.
       0.536
