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

flhCFlagellar class II regulon transcriptional activator, with FlhD; Functions in complex with FlhD as a master transcriptional regulator that regulates transcription of several flagellar and non- flagellar operons by binding to their promoter region. Activates expression of class 2 flagellar genes, including fliA, which is a flagellum-specific sigma factor that turns on the class 3 genes. Also regulates genes whose products function in a variety of physiological pathways. (192 aa)

flhD
Flagellar class II regulon transcriptional activator, with FlhC; Functions in complex with FlhC as a master transcriptional regulator that regulates transcription of several flagellar and non- flagellar operons by binding to their promoter region. Activates expression of class 2 flagellar genes, including fliA, which is a flagellum-specific sigma factor that turns on the class 3 genes.

motB
Protein that enables flagellar motor rotation; MotA and MotB comprise the stator element of the flagellar motor complex. Required for the rotation of the flagellar motor. Probably a linker that fastens the torque-generating machinery to the cell wall. Overexpression of this protein with MotA improves motility in a pdeH disruption, (a c-di-GMP phosphodiesterase) suggesting there is an interaction (direct or indirect) between the c-di-GMP-binding flagellar brake protein YcgR and the flagellar stator.
  
 0.995
motA
Proton conductor component of flagella motor; MotA and MotB comprise the stator element of the flagellar motor complex. Required for rotation of the flagellar motor. Probable transmembrane proton channel. Overexpression of MotA, with or without MotB, restores motility in a pdeH disruption, (a c-di-GMP phosphodiesterase) suggesting there is an interaction (direct or indirect) between the c-di-GMP-binding flagellar brake protein YcgR and the flagellar stator.
    0.992
cheA
Chemotaxis protein CheA; Involved in the transmission of sensory signals from the chemoreceptors to the flagellar motors. CheA is autophosphorylated; it can transfer its phosphate group to either CheB or CheY.
 
  
 0.966
fliA
RNA polymerase, sigma 28 (sigma F) factor; Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. This sigma factor controls the expression of flagella-related genes.
 
  
 0.962
fliC
Flagellar filament structural protein (flagellin); Flagellin is the subunit protein which polymerizes to form the filaments of bacterial flagella.
   
  
 0.939
fliL
Flagellar biosynthesis protein; Controls the rotational direction of flagella during chemotaxis; Belongs to the FliL family.
  
  
 0.922
flhA
Putative flagellar export pore protein; Required for formation of the rod structure of the flagellar apparatus. Together with FliI and FliH, may constitute the export apparatus of flagellin; Belongs to the FHIPEP (flagella/HR/invasion proteins export pore) family.
  
  
 0.906
flgA
Assembly protein for flagellar basal-body periplasmic P ring; Involved in the assembly process of the P-ring formation. It may associate with FlgF on the rod constituting a structure essential for the P-ring assembly or may act as a modulator protein for the P- ring assembly; Belongs to the FlgA family.
  
  
 0.899
cheW
Purine-binding chemotaxis protein; Involved in the transmission of sensory signals from the chemoreceptors to the flagellar motors. It physically bridges CheA to the MCPs (methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins) to allow regulated phosphotransfer to CheY and CheB.
