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

sseA3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase; Transfers a sulfur ion to cyanide or to other thiol compounds. Also has weak rhodanese activity (130-fold lower). Its participation in detoxification of cyanide may be small. May be involved in the enhancement of serine sensitivity. (281 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
iscS
Cysteine desulfurase (tRNA sulfurtransferase), PLP-dependent; Master enzyme that delivers sulfur to a number of partners involved in Fe-S cluster assembly, tRNA modification or cofactor biosynthesis. Catalyzes the removal of elemental sulfur from cysteine to produce alanine. Functions as a sulfur delivery protein for Fe-S cluster synthesis onto IscU, an Fe-S scaffold assembly protein, as well as other S acceptor proteins. Preferentially binds to disordered IscU on which the Fe-S is assembled, IscU converts to the structured state and then dissociates from IscS to transfer the Fe-S to a [...]

metC
Cystathionine beta-lyase, PLP-dependent; Primarily catalyzes the cleavage of cystathionine to homocysteine, pyruvate and ammonia during methionine biosynthesis. Also exhibits cysteine desulfhydrase activity, producing sulfide from cysteine. In addition, under certain growth conditions, exhibits significant alanine racemase coactivity.

glpE
Thiosulfate:cyanide sulfurtransferase (rhodanese); Catalyzes, although with low efficiency, the sulfur transfer reaction from thiosulfate to cyanide. The relatively low affinity of GlpE for both thiosulfate and cyanide suggests that these compounds are not the physiological substrates. Thioredoxin 1 or related dithiol proteins could instead be the physiological sulfur-acceptor substrate. Possible association with the metabolism of glycerol-phosphate remains to be elucidated.

malY
PLP-dependent beta-cystathionase and maltose regulon regulator; Acts as a beta-cystathionase and as a repressor of the maltose regulon.
     
 0.923
cysI
Sulfite reductase, beta subunit, NAD(P)-binding, heme-binding; Component of the sulfite reductase complex that catalyzes the 6-electron reduction of sulfite to sulfide. This is one of several activities required for the biosynthesis of L-cysteine from sulfate. Belongs to the nitrite and sulfite reductase 4Fe-4S domain family.
    
 0.917
cysH
Phosphoadenosine phosphosulfate reductase; Reduction of activated sulfate into sulfite.
    
 0.914
cysJ
Sulfite reductase, alpha subunit, flavoprotein; Component of the sulfite reductase complex that catalyzes the 6-electron reduction of sulfite to sulfide. This is one of several activities required for the biosynthesis of L-cysteine from sulfate. The flavoprotein component catalyzes the electron flow from NADPH -> FAD -> FMN to the hemoprotein component; In the N-terminal section; belongs to the flavodoxin family.

aspC
Aspartate aminotransferase, PLP-dependent; Aspartate aminotransferase; Protein involved in cellular amino acid catabolic process and aspartate biosynthetic process.
  
 
 0.906
ydhU
Putative cytochrome b subunit of YdhYVWXUT oxidoreductase complex.
    
  0.905
tauD
Taurine dioxygenase, 2-oxoglutarate-dependent; Catalyzes the alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent hydroxylation of taurine yielding sulfite and aminoacetaldehyde after decomposition of an unstable intermediate. Is required for the utilization of taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonate) as an alternative sulfur source for growth in the absence of sulfate. To a lesser extent, pentanesulfonate, 3-(N-morpholino)propanesulfonate and 1,3-dioxo-2-isoindolineethanesulfonate are also desulfonated by this enzyme in vitro; however, desulfonation by TauD of organosulfonates other than taurine seem to be of littl [...]
