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

luxSConserved 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. (168 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
pfs
5-methylthioadenosine nucleosidase/S-adenosylhomocysteine nucleosidase; Catalyzes the irreversible cleavage of the glycosidic bond in both 5'-methylthioadenosine (MTA) and S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH/AdoHcy) to adenine and the corresponding thioribose, 5'- methylthioribose and S-ribosylhomocysteine, respectively. Belongs to the PNP/UDP phosphorylase family. MtnN subfamily.
 
 
 0.995
metH
5-methyltetrahydropteroyltriglutamate- homocysteine methyltransferase; Catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from 5- methyltetrahydrofolate to homocysteine resulting in methionine formation.
  
 
 0.978
metB
Cystathionine gamma-synthase; Identified by similarity to EGAD:109991; match to protein family HMM PF01053.
  
 
 0.927
metZ
Trans-sulfuration enzyme family protein; Catalyzes the formation of L-homocysteine from O-succinyl-L- homoserine (OSHS) and hydrogen sulfide.
  
 
 0.920
cysK
Cysteine synthase; Identified by similarity to EGAD:160962; match to protein family HMM PF00291; match to protein family HMM TIGR01136; match to protein family HMM TIGR01139; Belongs to the cysteine synthase/cystathionine beta- synthase family.
  
 
 0.884
metM
Homoserine dehydrogenase; Identified by similarity to EGAD:6746; match to protein family HMM PF00742; match to protein family HMM PF01842; match to protein family HMM PF03447.
     
 0.809
ilvA
Threonine dehydratase; Catalyzes the anaerobic formation of alpha-ketobutyrate and ammonia from threonine in a two-step reaction. The first step involved a dehydration of threonine and a production of enamine intermediates (aminocrotonate), which tautomerizes to its imine form (iminobutyrate). Both intermediates are unstable and short-lived. The second step is the nonenzymatic hydrolysis of the enamine/imine intermediates to form 2- ketobutyrate and free ammonia. In the low water environment of the cell, the second step is accelerated by RidA.
   
 
 0.802
thrB
Homoserine kinase; Identified by similarity to GP:3089616; match to protein family HMM PF01636; match to protein family HMM TIGR00938; Belongs to the pseudomonas-type ThrB family.
   
 
  0.800
ribD
Riboflavin biosynthesis protein RibD; Converts 2,5-diamino-6-(ribosylamino)-4(3h)-pyrimidinone 5'- phosphate into 5-amino-6-(ribosylamino)-2,4(1h,3h)-pyrimidinedione 5'- phosphate; In the C-terminal section; belongs to the HTP reductase family.
    
 
 0.790
metK
S-adenosylmethionine synthetase; Catalyzes the formation of S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) from methionine and ATP. The overall synthetic reaction is composed of two sequential steps, AdoMet formation and the subsequent tripolyphosphate hydrolysis which occurs prior to release of AdoMet from the enzyme.
