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

mutLDNA mismatch repair protein, MutL/HexB family; This protein is involved in the repair of mismatches in DNA. It is required for dam-dependent methyl-directed DNA mismatch repair. May act as a 'molecular matchmaker', a protein that promotes the formation of a stable complex between two or more DNA-binding proteins in an ATP-dependent manner without itself being part of a final effector complex. (673 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
mutS
DNA mismatch repair protein MutS; This protein is involved in the repair of mismatches in DNA. It is possible that it carries out the mismatch recognition step. This protein has a weak ATPase activity.
 
 0.999
polA
DNA polymerase I; In addition to polymerase activity, this DNA polymerase exhibits 5'-3' exonuclease activity; Belongs to the DNA polymerase type-A family.
   
 0.992
dnaN
DNA polymerase III, beta subunit; Confers DNA tethering and processivity to DNA polymerases and other proteins. Acts as a clamp, forming a ring around DNA (a reaction catalyzed by the clamp-loading complex) which diffuses in an ATP- independent manner freely and bidirectionally along dsDNA. Initially characterized for its ability to contact the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase III (Pol III), a complex, multichain enzyme responsible for most of the replicative synthesis in bacteria; Pol III exhibits 3'-5' exonuclease proofreading activity. The beta chain is required for initiation of [...]

ECH_1010
DNA polymerase III, beta subunit, truncation; Identified by similarity to SP:P00583; match to protein family HMM PF02767.
   
 0.916
ECH_0860
Helicase, UvrD/Rep family; Identified by match to protein family HMM PF00580.
  
 
 0.913
recA
recA protein; Can catalyze the hydrolysis of ATP in the presence of single- stranded DNA, the ATP-dependent uptake of single-stranded DNA by duplex DNA, and the ATP-dependent hybridization of homologous single-stranded DNAs. It interacts with LexA causing its activation and leading to its autocatalytic cleavage; Belongs to the RecA family.
   
 
 0.801
ispB
Octaprenyl-diphosphate synthase; Identified by similarity to SP:P19641; match to protein family HMM PF00348; Belongs to the FPP/GGPP synthase family.
  
  
 0.667
ECH_0277
DNA-3-methyladenine glycosylase; Identified by similarity to PIR:S12059; match to protein family HMM PF02245; match to protein family HMM TIGR00567; Belongs to the DNA glycosylase MPG family.
    
 
 0.649
purF
Amidophosphoribosyltransferase; Catalyzes the formation of phosphoribosylamine from phosphoribosylpyrophosphate (PRPP) and glutamine.
     
 0.638
ECH_1001
Aspartate kinase; Identified by similarity to SP:P08495; match to protein family HMM PF00696; match to protein family HMM PF01842; match to protein family HMM TIGR00657; Belongs to the aspartokinase family.
