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:
dnaBHelicase loading protein; Probable component of primosome involved in the initiation of DNA replication. It is essential for both replication initiation and membrane attachment of the origin region of the chromosome and plasmid pUB110. (472 aa)
refZRegulator of FtsZ; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type r: regulator. (207 aa)
dnaAChromosomal replication initiator protein DnaA; Plays an important role in the initiation and regulation of chromosomal replication. Binds to the origin of replication; it binds specifically double-stranded DNA at a 9 bp consensus (dnaA box): 5'- TTATC[CA]A[CA]A-3'. DnaA binds to ATP and to acidic phospholipids. DnaA can inhibit its own gene expression as well as that of other genes. (446 aa)
ftsLCell-division protein; Essential cell division protein that may play a structural role. Probably involved in the regulation of the timing of cell division. Also required for sporulation. (117 aa)
ftsZCell-division initiation protein; Essential cell division protein that forms a contractile ring structure (Z ring) at the future cell division site. The regulation of the ring assembly controls the timing and the location of cell division. One of the functions of the FtsZ ring is to recruit other cell division proteins to the septum to produce a new cell wall between the dividing cells. Binds GTP and shows GTPase activity. (382 aa)
recAMultifunctional SOS repair factor; Multifunctional protein involved in homologous recombination, DNA repair and competence. Can catalyze the hydrolysis of (d)ATP in the presence of single-stranded DNA; prefers dATP at least in vitro, catalyzes the dATP-dependent uptake of single- stranded DNA by duplex DNA, and the dATP-dependent hybridization of homologous single-stranded DNAs (strand exchange). RecA-ATP cannot catalyze homologous DNA strand exchange; SsbA and DprA activate strand exchange by RecA-ATP. It interacts with LexA causing its activation and leading to its autocatalytic clea [...] (348 aa)
pcfAFactor controlling DNA replication; Inhibits DNA replication in growing cells, thus reducing chromosome copy number and playing a significant role during the onset of sporulation. (148 aa)
dnaDDNA-remodelling primosomal protein; Probable component of primosome involved in the initiation of DNA replication. (232 aa)
lexATranscriptional repressor of the SOS regulon; Represses dinA, dinB, dinC, recA genes and itself by binding to the 14 bp palindromic sequence 5'-CGAACNNNNGTTCG-3'; some genes have a tandem consensus sequence and their binding is cooperative. In the presence of single-stranded DNA, RecA interacts with LexA causing an autocatalytic cleavage which disrupts the DNA-binding part of LexA, leading to derepression of the SOS regulon and eventually DNA repair; autocleavage is maximal at pH 11 in the absence of RecA and ssDNA. (205 aa)
yneACell division inhibitor; Inhibits cell division during the SOS response. Affects a later stage of the cell division protein assembly, after the assembly of the Z ring, by probably suppressing recruitment of FtsL and/or DivIC to the division machinery (By similarity). (105 aa)
licAPhosphotransferase system (PTS) lichenan-specific enzyme IIA component; The phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent sugar phosphotransferase system (PTS), a major carbohydrate active -transport system, catalyzes the phosphorylation of incoming sugar substrates concomitant with their translocation across the cell membrane. This system is involved in lichenan transport. (110 aa)
rbsKRibokinase; Catalyzes the phosphorylation of ribose at O-5 in a reaction requiring ATP and magnesium. The resulting D-ribose-5-phosphate can then be used either for sythesis of nucleotides, histidine, and tryptophan, or as a component of the pentose phosphate pathway. (293 aa)
tagCPutative polyglycerol phosphate assembly and export protein (teichoic acid biosynthesis); Unknown. Might be involved in poly(glycerol phosphate) teichoic acid biosynthesis. (442 aa)
ytmPPutative kinase/phosphotransferase; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pe: putative enzyme; Belongs to the aminoglycoside phosphotransferase family. (204 aa)
dnaNDNA polymerase III (beta subunit); Confers DNA tethering and processivity to DNA polymerases and other proteins. Acts as a clamp, forming a ring around DNA (a reaction catalyzed by the clamp-loading complex) which diffuses in an ATP- independent manner freely and bidirectionally along dsDNA. Initially characterized for its ability to contact the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase III (Pol III), a complex, multichain enzyme responsible for most of the replicative synthesis in bacteria; Pol III exhibits 3'-5' exonuclease proofreading activity. The beta chain is required for initiation o [...] (378 aa)
mtnKMethylthioribose kinase (methionine salvage pathway); Catalyzes the phosphorylation of methylthioribose into methylthioribose-1-phosphate. (397 aa)
