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

yfcVUncharacterized fimbrial-like protein YfcV; Part of the yfcOPQRSUV 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. (187 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
malX
Maltose and glucose-specific PTS enzyme IIB component and IIC component; The phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent sugar phosphotransferase system (sugar PTS), a major carbohydrate active transport system, catalyzes the phosphorylation of incoming sugar substrates concomitantly with their translocation across the cell membrane. This system is involved in maltose transport. MalX can also recognize and transport glucose even though this sugar may not represent the natural substrate of the system.

atpG
F1 sector of membrane-bound ATP synthase, gamma subunit; Produces ATP from ADP in the presence of a proton gradient across the membrane. The gamma chain is believed to be important in regulating ATPase activity and the flow of protons through the CF(0) complex.
      
 0.875
borD
DLP12 prophage; Bacteriophage lambda Bor protein homolog; Belongs to the lambda phage bor family.
      
 0.871
ompT
DLP12 prophage; Protease that can cleave T7 RNA polymerase, ferric enterobactin receptor protein (FEP), antimicrobial peptide protamine and other proteins. This protease has a specificity for paired basic residues.
      
 0.809
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.
   
  
 0.739
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.
      
 0.738
yfaL
Adhesin; Probably an autotransporter.
   
  
 0.732
yehC
Putative periplasmic pilin chaperone; Part of the yehABCD fimbrial operon. Could contribute to adhesion to various surfaces in specific environmental niches.
  
 
 0.676
sfmD
Putative outer membrane export usher protein; 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. Probably involved in the export and assembly of fimbrial subunits across the outer membrane.
  
 
 0.639
fimD
Fimbrial usher outer membrane porin protein; Involved in the export and assembly of FimA fimbrial subunits across the outer membrane.
  
 
 0.635
