STRINGSTRING
STRING protein interaction network
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

lipALipoyl synthase; Catalyzes the radical-mediated insertion of two sulfur atoms into the C-6 and C-8 positions of the octanoyl moiety bound to the lipoyl domains of lipoate-dependent enzymes, thereby converting the octanoylated domains into lipoylated derivatives. (323 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
lipB
Lipoate-protein ligase B; Catalyzes the transfer of endogenously produced octanoic acid from octanoyl-acyl-carrier-protein onto the lipoyl domains of lipoate- dependent enzymes. Lipoyl-ACP can also act as a substrate although octanoyl-ACP is likely to be the physiological substrate.
 
 0.999
nfuA
Iron-sulfur cluster scaffold protein (YhgI); Involved in iron-sulfur cluster biogenesis. Binds a 4Fe-4S cluster, can transfer this cluster to apoproteins, and thereby intervenes in the maturation of Fe/S proteins. Could also act as a scaffold/chaperone for damaged Fe/S proteins.
  
 
 0.605
aroK
Shikimate kinase I; Catalyzes the specific phosphorylation of the 3-hydroxyl group of shikimic acid using ATP as a cosubstrate; Belongs to the shikimate kinase family.
      
 0.567
pta
Phosphate acetyltransferase; Involved in acetate metabolism; In the N-terminal section; belongs to the CobB/CobQ family.
      
 0.562
yhbZ
Hypothetical 43.3 kDa GTP-binding protein; An essential GTPase which binds GTP, GDP and possibly (p)ppGpp with moderate affinity, with high nucleotide exchange rates and a fairly low GTP hydrolysis rate. Plays a role in control of the cell cycle, stress response, ribosome biogenesis and in those bacteria that undergo differentiation, in morphogenesis control. Belongs to the TRAFAC class OBG-HflX-like GTPase superfamily. OBG GTPase family.
 
      0.529
pyrF
Orotidine 5'-phosphate decarboxylase; Catalyzes the decarboxylation of orotidine 5'-monophosphate (OMP) to uridine 5'-monophosphate (UMP); Belongs to the OMP decarboxylase family. Type 1 subfamily.
       0.523
nrdA
Ribonucleotide-diphosphate reductase alpha subunit; Provides the precursors necessary for DNA synthesis. Catalyzes the biosynthesis of deoxyribonucleotides from the corresponding ribonucleotides (By similarity).
 
      0.516
thrA
Bifunctional aspartokinase I/homeserine dehydrogenase I; Aspartate kinase; In the C-terminal section; belongs to the homoserine dehydrogenase family.
     
 0.480
ribE
Riboflavin synthase subunit alpha; Catalyzes the dismutation of two molecules of 6,7-dimethyl-8- ribityllumazine, resulting in the formation of riboflavin and 5-amino- 6-(D-ribitylamino)uracil.
      
 0.469
bioB
Biotin synthetase; Catalyzes the conversion of dethiobiotin (DTB) to biotin by the insertion of a sulfur atom into dethiobiotin via a radical-based mechanism; Belongs to the radical SAM superfamily. Biotin synthase family.
