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

rhaSTranscriptional activator of rhaBAD and rhaT; Activates expression of the rhaBAD and rhaT operons. (278 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
rhaT
L-rhamnose:proton symporter; Uptake of L-rhamnose across the boundary membrane with the concomitant transport of protons into the cell (symport system). Can also transport L-mannose and L-xylose, but at reduced rates.
 
  
 0.933
rpoD
RNA polymerase, sigma 70 (sigma D) factor; Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. This sigma factor is the primary sigma factor during exponential growth. Preferentially transcribes genes associated with fast growth, such as ribosomal operons, other protein-synthesis related genes, rRNA- and tRNA-encoding genes and prfB. Belongs to the sigma-70 factor family. RpoD/SigA subfamily.
   
 
 0.928
melR
Melibiose operon transcriptional regulator; Transcription activator for the expression of the melAB operon. MelR binds at two sites located upstream of the melAB transcription site.
  
  
 0.899
rhaB
Rhamnulokinase; Involved in the catabolism of L-rhamnose (6-deoxy-L-mannose). It could also play a role in the metabolism of some rare sugars such as L-fructose. Catalyzes the transfer of the gamma-phosphate group from ATP to the 1-hydroxyl group of L-rhamnulose to yield L-rhamnulose 1- phosphate. Uridine triphosphate (UTP), cytidine 5-triphosphate (CTP), guanosine 5-triphosphate (GTP), and thymidine triphosphate (TTP) also can act as phosphoryl donors. It can also phosphorylate L-fuculose and L-xylulose. Belongs to the rhamnulokinase family.
 
  
 0.891
rhaR
Transcriptional activator of rhaSR; Activates expression of the rhaSR operon in response to L- rhamnose.
 
  
0.877
yidL
Putative ARAC-type regulatory protein; Protein involved in transcription activator activity and transcription.
  
  
 0.831
araC
Ara regulon transcriptional activator; Transcription factor that regulates the expression of several genes involved in the transport and metabolism of L-arabinose. Functions both as a positive and a negative regulator. In the presence of arabinose, activates the expression of the araBAD, araE, araFGH and araJ promoters. In the absence of arabinose, negatively regulates the araBAD operon. Represses its own transcription. Acts by binding directly to DNA.
  
 
0.793
rhaA
L-rhamnose isomerase; Protein involved in carbohydrate catabolic process.
 
  
 0.787
marA
Multiple antibiotic resistance transcriptional regulator; May be a transcriptional activator of genes involved in the multiple antibiotic resistance (Mar) phenotype. It can also activate genes such as sodA, zwf and micF.
  
  
 0.761
rob
Right oriC-binding transcriptional activator, AraC family; Binds to the right arm of the replication origin oriC of the chromosome. Rob binding may influence the formation of the nucleoprotein structure, required for oriC function in the initiation of replication.
