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

csgACurlin subunit, amyloid curli fibers, cryptic; Curlin is the structural subunit of the curli fimbriae. Curli are coiled surface structures that assemble preferentially at growth temperatures below 37 degrees Celsius. Curli can bind to fibronectin; Belongs to the CsgA/CsgB family. (151 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
csgB
Curlin nucleator protein, minor subunit in curli complex; Curlin is the structural subunit of the curli fimbriae. Curli are coiled surface structures that assemble preferentially at growth temperatures below 37 degrees Celsius. Curli can bind to fibronectin. The minor subunit is the nucleation component of curlin monomers. Coexpression of cellulose and thin aggregative fimbriae (curli fimbrae or fibers) leads to a hydrophobic network with tightly packed cells embedded in a highly inert matrix that confers cohesion, elasticity and tissue-like properties to colonies. Belongs to the CsgA/ [...]

csgG
Curli production assembly/transport outer membrane lipoprotein; May be involved in the biogenesis of curli organelles.
  
 
 0.991
csgF
Curli nucleation outer membrane protein; May be involved in the biogenesis of curli organelles.
  
 
 0.990
csgC
Curli assembly protein; Plays a role in the extracellular assembly of CsgA into thin aggregative fimbriae (Tafi) fibers. Assembly may also require CsgE. Tafi are thought to be assembled via an extracellular nucleation- precipitation (ENP) pathway, and possibly also via an intracellular non-CsgC-dependent pathway (By similarity).
  
  
 0.981
csgE
Curlin secretion specificity factor; May be involved in the biogenesis of curli organelles.
  
  
 0.958
csgD
csgBAC operon transcriptional regulator; The master regulator for adhesive curli fimbriae expression; necessary for transcription of the csgBAC/ymdA operon. Plays a positive role in biofilm formation. May have the capability to respond to starvation and/or high cell density by activating csgBA transcription. Low-level constitutive expression confers an adherent curli fimbriae- expressing phenotype, up-regulates 10 genes and down-regulates 14 others.

sfmH
FimA homolog, function unknown; Part of the sfmACDHF fimbrial operon. Could contribute to adhesion to various surfaces in specific environmental niches. Increases adhesion to eukaryotic T24 bladder epithelial cells in the absence of fim genes.
   
  
 0.894
fimH
Minor component of type 1 fimbriae; Involved in regulation of length and mediation of adhesion of type 1 fimbriae (but not necessary for the production of fimbriae). Adhesin responsible for the binding to D-mannose. It is laterally positioned at intervals in the structure of the type 1 fimbriae. In order to integrate FimH in the fimbriae FimF and FimG are needed.
      
 0.892
yaiC
Diguanylate cyclase, cellulose regualtor; A probable diguanylate cyclase. The last member of a cascade of expressed proteins, its expression requires DgcM. DgcC production induces biosynthesis of cellulose in some E.coli isolates, but not in K12 strains. Cyclic-di-GMP is a second messenger which controls cell surface-associated traits in bacteria.
      
 0.826
bcsA
Cellulose synthase, catalytic subunit; Catalytic subunit of cellulose synthase. It polymerizes uridine 5'-diphosphate glucose to cellulose, which is produced as an extracellular component for mechanical and chemical protection at the onset of the stationary phase, when the cells exhibit multicellular behavior (rdar morphotype). Coexpression of cellulose and thin aggregative fimbriae (curli fimbrae or fibers) leads to a hydrophobic network with tightly packed cells embedded in a highly inert matrix that confers cohesion, elasticity and tissue-like properties to colonies ; Belongs to the [...]
