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

uhpTHexose phosphate transporter; Mediates the exchange of external hexose 6-phosphate and internal inorganic phosphate. Can transport glucose-6-phosphate, fructose-6-phosphate and mannose-6-phosphate. Also catalyzes the neutral exchange of internal and external phosphate. (463 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
uhpB
Sensory histidine kinase in two-component regulatory sytem with UhpA; Part of the UhpABC signaling cascade that controls the expression of the hexose phosphate transporter UhpT. UhpB functions as a membrane-associated protein kinase that autophosphorylates in response to interaction with UhpC, and subsequently transfers its phosphate group to the response regulator UhpA. Can also dephosphorylate UhpA.
  
 0.985
uhpA
Response regulator in two-component regulatory system wtih UhpB; Part of the UhpABC signaling cascade that controls the expression of the hexose phosphate transporter UhpT. Activates the transcription of the uhpT gene. Acts by binding specifically to the uhpT promoter region.
   
 0.961
murA
UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 1-carboxyvinyltransferase; Cell wall formation. Adds enolpyruvyl to UDP-N-acetylglucosamine. Target for the antibiotic fosfomycin; Belongs to the EPSP synthase family. MurA subfamily.
      
 0.906
pitB
Phosphate transporter; Low-affinity inorganic phosphate transport; Belongs to the inorganic phosphate transporter (PiT) (TC 2.A.20) family. Pit subfamily.
      
 0.900
ptsI
PEP-protein phosphotransferase of PTS system (enzyme I); General (non sugar-specific) component of the phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent sugar phosphotransferase system (sugar PTS). This major carbohydrate active-transport system catalyzes the phosphorylation of incoming sugar substrates concomitantly with their translocation across the cell membrane. Enzyme I transfers the phosphoryl group from phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to the phosphoryl carrier protein (HPr). Can also use (Z)-3-fluoro-PEP (ZFPEP), (Z)-3-methyl- PEP (ZMePEP), (Z)-3-chloro-PEP (ZClPEP) and (E)-3-chloro-PEP (EClPEP) as alte [...]
      
 0.789
cyaA
Adenylate cyclase; Catalyzes the formation of the second messenger cAMP from ATP. Its transcript is probably degraded by endoribonuclease LS (rnlA), decreasing cAMP levels and the negative regulator Crp-cAMP, which then induces its own transcription again.
      
 0.737
uhpC
Membrane protein regulates uhpT expression; Part of the UhpABC signaling cascade that controls the expression of the hexose phosphate transporter UhpT. UhpC senses external glucose-6-phosphate and interacts with the histidine kinase UhpB, leading to the stimulation of the autokinase activity of UhpB. Belongs to the major facilitator superfamily. Organophosphate:Pi antiporter (OPA) (TC 2.A.1.4) family.
 
  
0.725
glpT
Sn-glycerol-3-phosphate transporter; Responsible for glycerol-3-phosphate uptake.
  
   
0.624
hpt
Hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase; Acts preferentially on hypoxanthine; has very low activity towards guanine. Inactive towards xanthine. Belongs to the purine/pyrimidine phosphoribosyltransferase family.
      
 0.620
lgoT
Putative L-galactonate:H+ symporter; Probably responsible for the transport of L-galactonate from the periplasm across the inner membrane. Is essential for growth on L- galactonate as the sole carbon source; Belongs to the major facilitator superfamily. Phthalate permease family.
