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:
yaaBConserved hypothetical protein; Regulates the biosynthesis of the extracellular matrix and the biofilm formation. May act as an enhancer of biofilm gene expression. Acts in parallel to the pathway that governs SinR derepression. (81 aa)
sinIAntagonist of SinR; Acts as an antagonist to SinR. SinI prevents SinR from binding to its target sequence on the gene for AprE. (57 aa)
sinRMaster regulator of biofilm formation; Negative as well as positive regulator of alternate developmental processes that are induced at the end of vegetative growth in response to nutrient depletion. Binds to the alkaline protease (aprE) gene at two sites. Also acts as a repressor of the key sporulation gene spo0A. Negatively regulates transcription of the eps operon, which is responsible for the biosynthesis of an exopolysaccharide involved in biofilm formation; therefore it could govern the transition between a state in which bacteria swim or swarm and a state in which bacteria assemb [...] (111 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)
ytoIConserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function. (439 aa)
ytnMPutative transporter; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pt: putative transporter. (300 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)
epsEBifunctional flagellar clutch and glycosyltransferase; May be involved in the production of the exopolysaccharide (EPS) component of the extracellular matrix during biofilm formation. EPS is responsible for the adhesion of chains of cells into bundles. Required for biofilm maintenance; Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 2 family. (278 aa)
epsAModulator of protein tyrosine kinase EpsB; Evidence 2b: Function of strongly homologous gene; regulator. (234 aa)
slrRTranscriptional regulator of autolysin genes; Represses sigma(D)-dependent flagellar genes and activate the eps and yqxM operons. Repressor activity is regulated by SlrA. Controls the initiation of biofilm formation. (152 aa)
cheYRegulator of chemotaxis and motility; Involved in the transmission of sensory signals from the chemoreceptors to the flagellar motors. Phosphorylated CheY interacts with the flagella switch components FliM and FliY, which causes counterclockwise rotation of the flagella, resulting in smooth swimming. (120 aa)
asnSasparaginyl-tRNA synthetase; Evidence 2a: Function of homologous gene experimentally demonstrated in an other organism; Product type e: enzyme. (430 aa)
amyEAlpha-amylase; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type e: enzyme; Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 13 family. (659 aa)
spo0AResponse regulator; May play the central regulatory role in sporulation. It may be an element of the effector pathway responsible for the activation of sporulation genes in response to nutritional stress. Spo0A may act in concert with Spo0H (a sigma factor) to control the expression of some genes that are critical to the sporulation process. Repressor of abrB, activator of the spoIIa operon. Binds the DNA sequence 5'-TGNCGAA-3' (0A box). (267 aa)
kinCTwo-component sensor histidine kinase; Phosphorylates the sporulation-regulatory protein spo0A. (428 aa)
kinDHistidine kinase phosphorylating Spo0A; Phosphorylates the sporulation-regulatory protein spo0F and, to a minor extent, is responsible for heterogeneous expression of spo0A during logarithmical growth. Also phosphorylates spo0A under biofilm growth conditions. (506 aa)
lrpCTranscriptional regulator (Lrp/AsnC family); Transcriptional regulator with a possible role in regulation of amino acid metabolism. Plays a role in the growth phase transition. (144 aa)
