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

Score
PAE2117Thermosome (chaperonin) alpha subunit; Protein fate; Protein folding and stabilization; Belongs to the TCP-1 chaperonin family. (549 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
tbp
Transcription initiation factor TFIID (TATA-binding); General factor that plays a role in the activation of archaeal genes transcribed by RNA polymerase. Binds specifically to the TATA box promoter element which lies close to the position of transcription initiation.
 
 
 0.862
map
Methionine aminopeptidase; Removes the N-terminal methionine from nascent proteins. The N-terminal methionine is often cleaved when the second residue in the primary sequence is small and uncharged (Met-Ala-, Cys, Gly, Pro, Ser, Thr, or Val); Belongs to the peptidase M24A family. Methionine aminopeptidase archaeal type 2 subfamily.
 
 0.845
guaA
GMP synthetase (glutamine-hydrolysing); Catalyzes the synthesis of GMP from XMP.
  
  
 0.815
eif5a
Translation initiation factor aIF-5A; Functions by promoting the formation of the first peptide bond; Belongs to the eIF-5A family.
 
 
 0.809
rpl4
Ribosomal protein L4; One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, this protein initially binds near the 5'-end of the 23S rRNA. It is important during the early stages of 50S assembly. It makes multiple contacts with different domains of the 23S rRNA in the assembled 50S subunit and ribosome.
 
 
 0.787
dnaG
Conserved protein (toprim domain); RNA polymerase that catalyzes the synthesis of short RNA molecules used as primers for DNA polymerase during DNA replication. Also part of the exosome, which is a complex involved in RNA degradation. Acts as a poly(A)-binding protein that enhances the interaction between heteropolymeric, adenine-rich transcripts and the exosome.
 
   
 0.785
pfdA
Conserved hypothetical protein; Molecular chaperone capable of stabilizing a range of proteins. Seems to fulfill an ATP-independent, HSP70-like function in archaeal de novo protein folding (By similarity).
   
 
 0.774
psmA
Proteasome alpha subunit; Component of the proteasome core, a large protease complex with broad specificity involved in protein degradation.
 
 
 0.767
infB
Translation initiation factor IF-2 (infB), putative; Function in general translation initiation by promoting the binding of the formylmethionine-tRNA to ribosomes. Seems to function along with eIF-2.
  
 
 0.761
eIF1A
Translation initiation factor aIF-1A; Seems to be required for maximal rate of protein biosynthesis. Enhances ribosome dissociation into subunits and stabilizes the binding of the initiator Met-tRNA(I) to 40 S ribosomal subunits (By similarity).
