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

ascGAsc operon transcriptional repressor; Repressor of the asc operon. The cryptic operon is activated by the insertion of IS186 into the ascG gene. (336 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ascF
Cellobiose/arbutin/salicin-specific PTS enzymes, IIB and IC components; 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 arbutin, cellobiose, and salicin transport.
     
 0.942
ascB
Cryptic 6-phospho-beta-glucosidase; Can hydrolyze salicin, cellobiose, and probably arbutin; Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 1 family.
    
 0.938
gltB
Glutamate synthase, large subunit; Catalyzes the conversion of L-glutamine and 2-oxoglutarate into two molecules of L-glutamate.
    
 
 0.655
chbF
Phospho-chitobiase; Hydrolyzes a wide variety of P-beta-glucosides including cellobiose-6P, salicin-6P, arbutin-6P, gentiobiose-6P, methyl-beta- glucoside-6P and p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside-6P. Is also able to hydrolyze phospho-N,N'-diacetylchitobiose.
      
 0.624
idnK
D-gluconate kinase, thermosensitive; Protein involved in carbohydrate catabolic process; Belongs to the gluconokinase GntK/GntV family.
  
 
 0.562
ybdM
Spo0J family protein, ParB-like nuclease domain.
    
   0.542
zapC
FtsZ stabilizer; Contributes to the efficiency of the cell division process by stabilizing the polymeric form of the cell division protein FtsZ. Acts by promoting interactions between FtsZ protofilaments and suppressing the GTPase activity of FtsZ.
    
   0.542
matP
Ter macrodomain organizer matS-binding protein; Required for spatial organization of the terminus region of the chromosome (Ter macrodomain) during the cell cycle. Prevents early segregation of duplicated Ter macrodomains during cell division. Binds specifically to matS, which is a 13 bp signature motif repeated within the Ter macrodomain; Belongs to the MatP family.

era
Membrane-associated, 16S rRNA-binding GTPase; An essential GTPase that binds both GDP and GTP, with nucleotide exchange occurring on the order of seconds whereas hydrolysis occurs on the order of minutes. Plays a role in numerous processes, including cell cycle regulation, energy metabolism, as a chaperone for 16S rRNA processing and 30S ribosomal subunit biogenesis. One of at least 4 proteins (Era, RbfA, RimM and RsgA/YjeQ) that assist in the late assembly stage of the 30S ribosomal subunit. Its presence in the 30S subunit may prevent translation initiation. Seems to be critical for m [...]

chbG
Chito-oligosaccharide deacetylase; ChbG is essential for growth on the acetylated chitooligosaccharides chitobiose and chitotriose but is dispensable for growth on cellobiose and chitosan dimer, the deacetylated form of chitobiose. Deacetylation of chitobiose-6-P and chitotriose-6-P is necessary for both the activation of the chb promoter by the regulatory protein ChbR and the hydrolysis of phosphorylated beta-glucosides by the phospho-beta-glucosidase ChbF. Catalyzes the removal of only one acetyl group from chitobiose-6-P to yield monoacetylchitobiose-6-P, the inducer of ChbR and the [...]
