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

puuPPutrescine importer; Involved in the uptake of putrescine. Belongs to the amino acid-polyamine-organocation (APC) superfamily. (461 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
puuA
Glutamate--putrescine ligase; Involved in the breakdown of putrescine via the biosynthesis of gamma-L-glutamylputrescine. It is able to use several diamines, spermidine and spermine. Absolutely essential to utilize putrescine as both nitrogen and carbon sources and to decrease the toxicity of putrescine, which can lead to inhibition of cell growth and protein synthesis; Belongs to the glutamine synthetase family.
  
  
 0.919
potE
Putrescine 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.
  
  
 0.839
puuB
Gamma-glutamylputrescine oxidoreductase; Involved in the breakdown of putrescine via the oxidation of L-glutamylputrescine.
 
  
 0.836
puuD
Gamma-glutamyl-gamma-aminobutyrate hydrolase; Involved in the breakdown of putrescine via hydrolysis of the gamma-glutamyl linkage of gamma-glutamyl-gamma-aminobutyrate.
  
  
 0.831
puuC
Gamma-glutamyl-gamma-aminobutyraldehyde dehydrogenase; Catalyzes the oxidation of 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde (3-HPA) to 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP). It acts preferentially with NAD but can also use NADP. 3-HPA appears to be the most suitable substrate for PuuC followed by isovaleraldehyde, propionaldehyde, butyraldehyde, and valeraldehyde. It might play a role in propionate and/or acetic acid metabolisms. Also involved in the breakdown of putrescine through the oxidation of gamma-Glu-gamma-aminobutyraldehyde to gamma-Glu-gamma-aminobutyrate (gamma-Glu-GABA).
  
  
 0.830
puuE
4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase, PLP-dependent; Catalyzes the transfer of the amino group from gamma- aminobutyrate (GABA) to alpha-ketoglutarate (KG) to yield succinic semialdehyde (SSA). PuuE is important for utilization of putrescine as the sole nitrogen or carbon source; Belongs to the class-III pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family.
 
  
 0.765
puuR
Repressor for the divergent puu operons, putrescine inducible; Represses puuA, puuD and puuP.
  
  
 0.743
speG
Spermidine N(1)-acetyltransferase; Involved in the protection against polyamine toxicity by regulating their concentration. Catalyzes the transfer of an acetyl group from acetyl coenzyme A (AcCoA) to the primary amino groups of spermidine to yield N(1)- and N(8)-acetylspermidine. It can also use polyamines such as spermine, but not putrescine.
   
  
 0.740
cadB
Putative lysine/cadaverine transporter; Probable cadaverine/lysine antiporter or part of it.
  
   
 0.676
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.
