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

derGTPase; GTPase that plays an essential role in the late steps of ribosome biogenesis. GTPase point mutations (but not a deletion mutant) are suppressed by mild overexpression of RelA, probably due to increased levels of the stringent response mediator (p)ppGpp. 50S subunits assembled in the absence of Der are defective and unable to assemble into 70S ribosomes. GTPase activity is stimulated by YihI. Overexpression rescues an rrmJ deletion, stabilizing the 70S ribosome. Der and RrmJ are likely to share a mechanism to stabilize 50S ribosomal subunits at a very late stage of 50S subunit m [...] (490 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
cmk
Cytidylate kinase; ATP, dATP, and GTP are equally effective as phosphate donors. CMP and dCMP are the best phosphate acceptors. Belongs to the cytidylate kinase family. Type 1 subfamily.

obgE
GTPase involved in cell partioning and DNA repair; An abundant, essential GTPase which binds GTP, GDP and ppGpp with moderate affinity. Has high guanosine nucleotide exchange rate constants for GTP and GDP, and a relatively low GTP hydrolysis rate stimulated by the 50S ribosomal subunit. It is estimated there are 34000 molecules in log-phase cells and 5600 molecules in stationary- phase cells. Required for chromosome segregation. Plays a role in the stringent response, perhaps by sequestering 50S ribosomal subunits and decreasing protein synthesis , and a non-essential role in the late [...]

yihI
Activator of Der GTPase; A GTPase-activating protein (GAP) that modifies Der/EngA GTPase function, negatively regulating cell growth, probably via ribosome assembly. Stimulates the GTPase activity of Der; a construct missing the first 45 residues is even more stimulatory. Does not stimulate 2 other GTPases (ObgE and Era). Overexpression inhibits cell growth; precursor 16S rRNA accumulates, the 23S rRNA is 6-7 bases longer than usual, and 50S ribosomal subunits are improperly assembled, leading to 45S subunits lacking proteins L9, L18 and L25. Overexpression of Der in the same cells sup [...]

yihA
Cell division GTP-binding protein; Necessary for normal cell division and for the maintenance of normal septation. Depletion of this protein leads to a severe reduction in growth rate and to extensive filamentation, with a block beyond the stage of segregation. Essential for bacteria survival. Belongs to the TRAFAC class TrmE-Era-EngA-EngB-Septin-like GTPase superfamily. EngB GTPase family.
 
   
 0.952
gpsA
Glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (NAD+); Protein involved in glycerol metabolic process and phosphorus metabolic process; Belongs to the NAD-dependent glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase family.
 
  
 0.938
hflX
GTPase, stimulated by 50S subunit binding; GTPase that associates with the 50S ribosomal subunit and may have a role during protein synthesis or ribosome biogenesis. In vitro, also exhibits ATPase activity.
 
  
 0.925
dnaG
DNA primase; RNA polymerase that catalyzes the synthesis of short RNA molecules used as primers for DNA polymerase during DNA replication.
  
  
 0.885
ychF
Catalase inhibitor protein; ATPase that binds to both the 70S ribosome and the 50S ribosomal subunit in a nucleotide-independent manner. Does not hydrolyze GTP; Belongs to the TRAFAC class OBG-HflX-like GTPase superfamily. OBG GTPase family. YchF/OLA1 subfamily.
  
   
 0.874
typA
GTP-binding protein; A 50S ribosomal subunit assembly protein with GTPase and nucleotide-independent chaperone activity. Genetic and deletion evidence suggests this is involved in ribosome assembly at low temperatures; it may also affect translation (Probable). Involved in incorporation of ribosomal protein L6 into precursor 44S ribosomal particles at low temperatures. Also has chaperone activity which does not require nucleotides. Binds GDP, ppGpp and GDPCP (a nonhydrolyzable GTP analog) with similar affinity; the conformation of the protein does not significantly change upon nucleoti [...]

rlmE
23S rRNA U2552 2'-O-ribose methyltransferase, SAM-dependent; Specifically methylates the uridine in position 2552 of 23S rRNA at the 2'-O position of the ribose in the fully assembled 50S ribosomal subunit.
