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

Score
glcAGlycolate transporter; Transports glycolate across the membrane. Can also transport L-lactate and D-lactate. Seems to be driven by a proton motive force. (560 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
glcD
Glycolate oxidase subunit, FAD-linked; Component of a complex that catalyzes the oxidation of glycolate to glyoxylate. Is required for E.coli to grow on glycolate as a sole source of carbon. Is also able to oxidize D-lactate ((R)-lactate) with a similar rate. Does not link directly to O(2), and 2,6-dichloroindophenol (DCIP) and phenazine methosulfate (PMS) can act as artificial electron acceptors in vitro, but the physiological molecule that functions as primary electron acceptor during glycolate oxidation is unknown ; Belongs to the FAD-binding oxidoreductase/transferase type 4 family.
  
  
 0.923
glcG
DUF336 family protein; Belongs to the GlcG family.
  
  
 0.902
glcB
Malate synthase G; Involved in the glycolate utilization. Catalyzes the condensation and subsequent hydrolysis of acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl- CoA) and glyoxylate to form malate and CoA.
  
  
 0.849
lldD
L-lactate dehydrogenase, FMN-linked; Catalyzes the conversion of L-lactate to pyruvate. Seems to be a primary dehydrogenase in the respiratory chain. To a lesser extent, can also oxidize DL-alpha-hydroxybutyrate, but not D-lactate.
  
 0.781
glcC
Glycolate-inducible glc operon transcriptional repressor; Transcriptional activator of the glcDEFGB operon which is associated with glycolate utilization, and encodes malate synthase G and the genes needed for glycolate oxidase activity. Also negatively regulates the transcription of its own gene. Glycolate acts as an effector, but GlcC can also use acetate as an alternative effector.
  
 0.778
glcF
Glycolate oxidase 4Fe-4S iron-sulfur cluster subunit; Component of a complex that catalyzes the oxidation of glycolate to glyoxylate. Is required for E.coli to grow on glycolate as a sole source of carbon. Is also able to oxidize D-lactate ((R)-lactate) with a similar rate. Does not link directly to O(2), and 2,6-dichloroindophenol (DCIP) and phenazine methosulfate (PMS) can act as artificial electron acceptors in vitro, but the physiological molecule that functions as primary electron acceptor during glycolate oxidation is unknown.
  
  
 0.722
lldR
Dual role activator/repressor for lldPRD operon; May be a regulatory protein for the LCT genes.
  
 0.698
ydiJ
Putative FAD-linked oxidoreductase; Putative oxidase.
  
  
 0.627
ykgF
Ferridoxin-like LutB family protein; putative electron transport chain YkgEFG component.
 
  
 0.617
pfo
Pyruvate-flavodoxin oxidoreductase; Oxidoreductase required for the transfer of electrons from pyruvate to flavodoxin.
  
  
 0.555
