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

dhkCHybrid signal transduction histidine kinase C; Acts in a signal transduction pathway that regulates the slug versus culmination choice. Believed to be the first component of a phosphorelay that couples the sensing of ammonia to the modulation of PKA activity and hence activates culmination and spore germination. Ammonium transporters amtA and amtC are thought to respectively activate and inhibit dhkC phosphorelay. This protein probably undergoes an ATP-dependent autophosphorylation at conserved His residue in the kinase core, and a phosphoryl group is then transferred to a conserved as [...] (1225 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
amtC
Ammonium transporter 3; Ammonium transporter that mediates the import of ammonium in prespore cells. Controls ammonium homeostasis during growth and development. Ammonium has been shown to function as a morphogen at multiple steps during the development. May function as an ammonia sensor that relays information concerning ammonia concentrations to the signaling pathway involved in the slug versus culmination choice and regulates prestalk gene expression.
 
 
 
 0.797
rdeA
Phosphorelay intermediate protein rdeA; Phosphorelay protein that supplies phosphate to regA or accepts phosphate from regA; depending on the relative concentration of the phosphodonor proteins. In vitro, acts as a substrate for cheA (bacterial kinase). Plays a role in the development. ypd1 (yeast) can complement rdeA defect.
   
  
 0.701
acgA
Adenylate cyclase, germination specific; Has a large extracellular domain which may be involved in the recognition of an extracellular signal present during germination, leading to activation or inhibition of cAMP synthesis by the cytoplasmic domain.
   
 
 0.510
pkaR
cAMP-dependent protein kinase regulatory subunit.
  
 
 0.465
PufA
RNA binding protein.
    
 
 0.457
amtA
Ammonium transporter 1; Ammonium transporter that mediates the excretion of ammonium. Controls ammonium homeostasis during growth and development. Ammonium has been shown to function as a morphogen at multiple steps during the development; Belongs to the ammonia transporter channel (TC 1.A.11.2) family.
 
 
 
 0.455
acbA
Acyl-CoA-binding protein; Binds to acyl-CoA. Processed into the SDF-2 (spore differentiation factor 2) a peptide which triggers sporulation. SDF-2 appears to stimulate prestalk cells to release additional SDF-2 by acting through a signal transduction pathway that also involves dhkA, regA and PKA. Induces encapsulation of prespore cells in a dhkA- dependent manner. GABA induces the release of acbA from prespore cells and induces the exposure of tagC on the surface of prestalk cells where it can convert acbA to SDF-2. Glutamate acts as a competitive inhibitor and is also able to inhibit [...]
      
 0.450
cytC
Cytochrome c; Electron carrier protein. The oxidized form of the cytochrome c heme group can accept an electron from the heme group of the cytochrome c1 subunit of cytochrome reductase. Cytochrome c then transfers this electron to the cytochrome oxidase complex, the final protein carrier in the mitochondrial electron-transport chain (By similarity).
   
 
 0.450
tagC
Serine protease/ABC transporter B family protein tagC; May be directly involved in maturation and export of SDF-2. The exposure of the protease domain of tagC on the surface of the prestalk cells were it can convert acbA to SDF-2 is induced by GABA. Intercellular communication via tagC may mediate integration of cellular differentiation with morphogenesis. In the C-terminal section; belongs to the ABC transporter superfamily. ABCB family. Multidrug resistance exporter (TC 3.A.1.201) subfamily.
   
  
 0.447
yakA
Probable serine/threonine-protein kinase yakA; General sensor of environmental conditions, such as heat stress, effecting changes through pkaC. Essential for survival to nitrosoative and oxidative stresses. Required for cell cycle control, not only at the onset but also during development (aggregation process and postaggregative development).
