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

infCTranslation initiation factor IF-3; One of the essential components for the initiation of protein synthesis.IF-3 binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit and shifts the equilibrum between 70S ribosomes and their 50S and 30S subunits in favor of the free subunits, thus enhancing the availability of 30S subunits on which protein synthesis initiation begins. (180 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
rplT
50S ribosomal subunit protein L20; One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds close to the 5'-end of the 23S rRNA. It is important during the early stages of 50S assembly.
 
 0.999
rpmI
50S ribosomal subunit protein A; Protein involved in structural constituent of ribosome and translation; Belongs to the bacterial ribosomal protein bL35 family.
 
  
 0.999
rpsK
30S ribosomal subunit protein S11; Located on the platform of the 30S subunit, it bridges several disparate RNA helices of the 16S rRNA. Forms part of the Shine- Dalgarno cleft in the 70S ribosome (By similarity); Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS11 family.
  
 
 0.998
rpsM
30S ribosomal subunit protein S13; Located at the top of the head of the 30S subunit, it contacts several helices of the 16S rRNA. Contacts the tRNAs in the A and P sites. Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS13 family.
  
 
 0.998
rpsG
30S ribosomal subunit protein S7; One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds directly to 16S rRNA where it nucleates assembly of the head domain of the 30S subunit. Is located at the subunit interface close to the decoding center, where it has been shown to contact mRNA. Has been shown to contact tRNA in both the P and E sites; it probably blocks exit of the E site tRNA.
  
 
 0.998
rpsS
30S ribosomal subunit protein S19; In the E.coli 70S ribosome in the initiation state it has been modeled to contact the 23S rRNA of the 50S subunit forming part of bridge B1a; this bridge is broken in the model with bound EF-G. The 23S rRNA contact site in bridge B1a is modeled to differ in different ribosomal states , contacting alternately S13 or S19. In the 3.5 angstroms resolved ribosome structures the contacts between L5, S13 and S19 bridge B1b are different, confirming the dynamic nature of this interaction. Bridge B1a is not visible in the crystallized ribosomes due to 23S rR [...]

rpsB
30S ribosomal subunit protein S2; Required for ribosomal protein S1 to bind to the 30S subunit.
 
 
 0.994
thrS
threonyl-tRNA synthetase; Catalyzes the attachment of threonine to tRNA(Thr) in a two- step reaction: L-threonine is first activated by ATP to form Thr-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of tRNA(Thr). The rate-limiting step is amino acid activation in the presence of tRNA. The 2'-OH of the acceptor base (adenine 76, A76) of tRNA(Thr) and His-309 collaborate to transfer L-Thr to the tRNA; substitution of 2'-OH of A76 with hydrogen or fluorine decreases transfer efficiency 760 and 100-fold respectively. The zinc ion in the active site discriminates against charging of the isost [...]

rplM
50S ribosomal subunit protein L13; This protein is one of the early assembly proteins of the 50S ribosomal subunit, although it is not seen to bind rRNA by itself. It is important during the early stages of 50S assembly.
 
 
 0.992
rpsC
30S ribosomal subunit protein S3; Binds the lower part of the 30S subunit head. Binds mRNA in the 70S ribosome, positioning it for translation (By similarity). Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS3 family.
