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

spr1695Hypothetical protein; Pyrophosphatase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of nucleoside triphosphates to their monophosphate derivatives, with a high preference for the non-canonical purine nucleotides XTP (xanthosine triphosphate), dITP (deoxyinosine triphosphate) and ITP. Seems to function as a house-cleaning enzyme that removes non-canonical purine nucleotides from the nucleotide pool, thus preventing their incorporation into DNA/RNA and avoiding chromosomal lesions. Belongs to the HAM1 NTPase family. (336 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
murI
Glutamate racemase; Provides the (R)-glutamate required for cell wall biosynthesis.
 
    0.980
guaA
Glutamine amidotransferase; Catalyzes the synthesis of GMP from XMP.
 
 
 0.968
imdH
Inosine-5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase; Catalyzes the conversion of inosine 5'-phosphate (IMP) to xanthosine 5'-phosphate (XMP), the first committed and rate-limiting step in the de novo synthesis of guanine nucleotides, and therefore plays an important role in the regulation of cell growth. Belongs to the IMPDH/GMPR family.
  
 0.935
ndk
Nucleoside diphosphate kinase; Major role in the synthesis of nucleoside triphosphates other than ATP. The ATP gamma phosphate is transferred to the NDP beta phosphate via a ping-pong mechanism, using a phosphorylated active-site intermediate; Belongs to the NDK family.
  
 0.931
spr1694
Conserved hypothetical protein.
  
  
 0.929
xpt
Xanthine phosphoribosyltransferase; Converts the preformed base xanthine, a product of nucleic acid breakdown, to xanthosine 5'-monophosphate (XMP), so it can be reused for RNA or DNA synthesis.
   
 0.919
hgt
Hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyltransferase.
  
 
 0.907
sulD
Aldolase-pyrophosphokinase; Catalyzes two sequential steps of tetrahydrofolate biosynthesis, the conversion of 7,8-dihydroneopterin to 6- hydroxymethyl-7,8-dihydropterin diphosphate. In the N-terminal section; belongs to the DHNA family.
  
  
 0.868
scpA
Conserved hypothetical protein; Participates in chromosomal partition during cell division. May act via the formation of a condensin-like complex containing Smc and ScpB that pull DNA away from mid-cell into both cell halves. Belongs to the ScpA family.
     
 0.817
xerD-2
Recombinase, site specific; Putative tyrosine recombinase. Not involved in the cutting and rejoining of the recombining DNA molecules on dif(SL) site.
     
 0.801
