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

xylBXylulokinase; Catalyzes the phosphorylation of D-xylulose to D-xylulose 5- phosphate. Also catalyzes the phosphorylation of 1- deoxy-D-xylulose to 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate, with lower efficiency. Can also use D-ribulose, xylitol and D- arabitol, but D-xylulose is preferred over the other substrates. Has a weak substrate-independent Mg-ATP-hydrolyzing activity ; Belongs to the FGGY kinase family. (484 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
xylA
D-xylose isomerase; Protein involved in carbohydrate catabolic process and glucose metabolic process; Belongs to the xylose isomerase family.
 
 
 0.999
araD
L-ribulose-5-phosphate 4-epimerase; Involved in the degradation of L-arabinose. Catalyzes the interconversion of L-ribulose 5-phosphate (LRu5P) and D- xylulose 5-phosphate (D-Xu5P) via a retroaldol/aldol mechanism (carbon- carbon bond cleavage analogous to a class II aldolase reaction).
  
 
 0.983
rpe
D-ribulose-5-phosphate 3-epimerase; Catalyzes the reversible epimerization of D-ribulose 5- phosphate to D-xylulose 5-phosphate.
 
  
 0.951
sgbE
L-ribulose-5-phosphate 4-epimerase; Catalyzes the interconversion of L-ribulose 5-phosphate (LRu5P) and D-xylulose 5-phosphate (D-Xu5P) via a retroaldol/aldol mechanism (carbon-carbon bond cleavage analogous to a class II aldolase reaction). May be involved in the utilization of 2,3-diketo-L-gulonate.
  
 
 0.926
ulaF
L-ribulose 5-phosphate 4-epimerase; Catalyzes the isomerization of L-ribulose 5-phosphate to D- xylulose 5-phosphate. Is involved in the anaerobic L-ascorbate utilization; Belongs to the aldolase class II family. AraD/FucA subfamily.
  
 
 0.926
xylF
D-xylose transporter subunit; Involved in the high-affinity D-xylose membrane transport system. Binds with high affinity to xylose.
 
  
 0.924
xylR
Xylose divergent operon transcriptional activator; Regulatory protein for the xylBAFGHR operon.
 
 
 0.911
xylE
D-xylose transporter; Uptake of D-xylose across the boundary membrane with the concomitant transport of protons into the cell (symport system). Glucose is not transported, but can compete for xylose binding sites and can inhibit xylose transport (in vitro). Belongs to the major facilitator superfamily. Sugar transporter (TC 2.A.1.1) family.
  
  
 0.898
xylG
D-xylose ABC transporter dual domain ATPase; Part of the ABC transporter complex XylFGH involved in xylose import. Responsible for energy coupling to the transport system (Probable). The XylFGH system can also transport ribose in absence of xylose; Belongs to the ABC transporter superfamily. Xylose importer (TC 3.A.1.2.4) family.
  
  
 0.851
araB
L-ribulokinase; Protein involved in carbohydrate catabolic process; Belongs to the ribulokinase family.
 
  
 0.846
