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

fliARNA 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. (239 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
flgM
Anti-sigma factor for FliA (sigma 28); Responsible for the coupling of flagellin expression to flagellar assembly by preventing expression of the flagellin genes when a component of the middle class of proteins is defective. It negatively regulates flagellar genes by inhibiting the activity of FliA by directly binding to FliA; Belongs to the FlgM family.
  
 0.999
fliZ
RpoS antagonist; During the post-exponential growth phase transiently interferes with RpoS (sigma S) activity without affecting expression of RpoS itself. It is probably not an anti-sigma factor as its overexpression is detrimental in rapidly growing cells where there is almost no sigma S factor. There is a strong overlap between Crl- activated genes and FliZ-down-regulated genes. FliZ acts as a timing device for expression of the genes for the adhesive curli fimbriae by indirectly decreasing expression of the curli regulator CsgD.

flgB
Flagellar component of cell-proximal portion of basal-body rod; Structural component of flagellum, the bacterial motility apparatus. Part of the rod structure of flagellar basal body (By similarity).
 
 
 0.998
flgC
Flagellar biosynthesis, cell-proximal portion of basal-body rod; Protein involved in flagellum assembly and taxis.
 
 
 0.997
fliC
Flagellar filament structural protein (flagellin); Flagellin is the subunit protein which polymerizes to form the filaments of bacterial flagella.
 
  
 0.997
flgK
Flagellar biosynthesis, hook-filament junction protein 1; Protein involved in flagellum assembly, protein folding and taxis; Belongs to the flagella basal body rod proteins family.
 
  
 0.996
fliD
Flagellar filament capping protein; Required for the morphogenesis and for the elongation of the flagellar filament by facilitating polymerization of the flagellin monomers at the tip of growing filament. Forms a capping structure, which prevents flagellin subunits (transported through the central channel of the flagellum) from leaking out without polymerization at the distal end; Belongs to the FliD family.
 
  
 0.996
fliI
Flagellum-specific ATP synthase; Probable catalytic subunit of a protein translocase for flagellum-specific export, or a proton translocase involved in local circuits at the flagellum. May be involved in a specialized protein export pathway that proceeds without signal peptide cleavage; Belongs to the ATPase alpha/beta chains family.
 
 
 0.996
flgD
Flagellar hook assembly protein; Required for flagellar hook formation. May act as a scaffolding protein.
 
  
 0.995
flgE
Flagellar biosynthesis, hook protein; Protein involved in flagellum assembly and taxis.
 
  
 0.995
