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

ygaUUncharacterized protein; Highly specific potassium binding protein that is required for normal growth in the presence of high levels of external K(+). May act as a sensor of cytoplasmic K(+) concentration. Binds a single K(+) ion, which induces a large conformational change. Can also bind the larger alkali metal ions Rb(+) and Cs(+), and NH(4)(+). May be involved in the regulation of peptidoglycan cross-linking. (149 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
yegP
UPF0339 family protein; Belongs to the UPF0339 family. Duplicated subfamily.
 
   0.956
osmY
Salt-inducible putative ABC transporter periplasmic binding protein; Hyperosmotically inducible periplasmic protein; Protein involved in response to osmotic stress.
  
  
 0.901
elaB
Putative membrane-anchored DUF883 family ribosome-binding protein; Belongs to the ElaB/YgaM/YqjD family.
   
  
 0.867
ybaY
Outer membrane lipoprotein; Glycoprotein/polysaccharide metabolism; Protein involved in lipoprotein biosynthetic process and glycoprotein biosynthetic process.
  
 
 0.858
osmC
Lipoyl-dependent Cys-based peroxidase, hydroperoxide resistance; Preferentially metabolizes organic hydroperoxides over inorganic hydrogen peroxide; Belongs to the OsmC/Ohr family.
   
  
 0.855
ygaM
Putative membrane-anchored DUF883 family ribosome-binding protein.
   
  
 0.841
wrbA
NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase; It seems to function in response to environmental stress when various electron transfer chains are affected or when the environment is highly oxidizing. It reduces quinones to the hydroquinone state to prevent interaction of the semiquinone with O2 and production of superoxide. It prefers NADH over NADPH.
   
  
 0.835
otsB
Trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase, biosynthetic; Removes the phosphate from trehalose 6-phosphate (Tre6P) to produce free trehalose. Also catalyzes the dephosphorylation of glucose-6-phosphate (Glu6P) and 2-deoxyglucose-6-phosphate (2dGlu6P).
   
  
 0.831
osmE
Osmotically-inducible lipoprotein; Activator of ntrL gene; Protein involved in transcription activator activity, transcription and response to osmotic stress.
   
  
 0.823
yqjD
Membrane-anchored ribosome-binding protein; Upon overexpression inhibits growth.
   
  
 0.811
