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

NMB1977Hypothetical protein; Identified by Glimmer2; putative. (56 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
lysA
Diaminopimelate decarboxylase; Specifically catalyzes the decarboxylation of meso- diaminopimelate (meso-DAP) to L-lysine.
       0.779
cyaY
cyaY protein; Involved in iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster assembly. May act as a regulator of Fe-S biogenesis.
       0.554
NMB1979
Conserved hypothetical protein; Identified by similarity to EGAD:28633; match to protein family HMM PF03601; match to protein family HMM TIGR00698.
       0.497
NMB1980
Conserved hypothetical protein; Identified by similarity to EGAD:29414.
       0.449
luxS
Conserved hypothetical protein; 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.
