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:
rpoSRNA polymerase sigma factor RpoS; 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 master transcriptional regulator of the stationary phase and the general stress response. (327 aa)
luxUPhosphorelay protein LuxU; Phosphorelay protein which receives sensory signals from LuxN and LuxP and transmits them to LuxO, at low cell density. LuxN and LuxP transfer a phosphoryl group to LuxU on His-58 and this phosphoryl group is further transferred to LuxO. At high cell density, as LuxU could function to establish an equilibrium between the aspartyl-phosphate of LuxN and the aspartyl-phosphate of LuxO, LuxU transfers phosphate from LuxO to LuxN (and probably LuxP) and finally phosphate is drained from the system. (112 aa)
luxOAAA family ATPase; Acts negatively to control the expression of luminescence. At low cell density, LuxO is phosphorylated, and together with sigma-54, causes repression of the luxCDABEGH operon. This repression could be indirect, LuxO could activate a negative regulator of luminescence. At high cell density, LuxO is dephosphorylated and inactive, therefore the luxCDABEGH operon is not repressed and light is emitted. LuxO and sigma-54 have also a role in activating the production of siderophore and in regulating the rugose colony morphology phenotype (By similarity). (467 aa)
luxSS-ribosylhomocysteinase; Involved in the synthesis of autoinducer 2 (AI-2) which is secreted by bacteria and is used to communicate both the cell density and the metabolic potential of the environment. The regulation of gene expression in response to changes in cell density is called quorum sensing. Catalyzes the transformation of S-ribosylhomocysteine (RHC) to homocysteine (HC) and 4,5-dihydroxy-2,3-pentadione (DPD). Belongs to the LuxS family. (172 aa)
rpoDRNA polymerase subunit sigma; 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. (620 aa)
