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
Your Input:
ykuIConserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function. (407 aa)
sipWType I signal peptidase; Required for the cleavage of the signal sequence of TasA and TapA, which are involved in biofilm formation. Belongs to the peptidase S26B family. (190 aa)
tapALipoprotein for biofilm formation; Required for biofilm formation. Required for the proper anchoring and polymerization of TasA amyloid fibers at the cell surface. Is also a minor component of TasA fibers. (253 aa)
bslABiofilm hydrophobic layer component; Involved in biofilm formation. Self-polymerizes and forms a layer on the surface of biofilms that confers hydrophobicity to the biofilm. The layer is stable and capable of resistance to high mechanical force compression. Required for complex colony architecture. May function synergistically with exopolysaccharides and TasA amyloid fibers to facilitate the assembly of the biofilm matrix. (181 aa)
epsBProtein tyrosine kinase; Evidence 2b: Function of strongly homologous gene; enzyme; Belongs to the CpsD/CapB family. (227 aa)
epsAModulator of protein tyrosine kinase EpsB; Evidence 2b: Function of strongly homologous gene; regulator. (234 aa)
