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.

infBTranslation initiation factor 2; Function in general translation initiation by promoting the binding of the formylmethionine-tRNA to ribosomes. Seems to function along with eIF-2. (577 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
rpl2
LSU ribosomal protein L8e (L2p); One of the primary rRNA binding proteins. Required for association of the 30S and 50S subunits to form the 70S ribosome, for tRNA binding and peptide bond formation. It has been suggested to have peptidyltransferase activity; this is somewhat controversial. Makes several contacts with the 16S rRNA in the 70S ribosome. Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL2 family.
 
 0.999
rpl7ae
LSU ribosomal protein L7Ae; Multifunctional RNA-binding protein that recognizes the K- turn motif in ribosomal RNA, the RNA component of RNase P, box H/ACA, box C/D and box C'/D' sRNAs.
 
 
 0.993
rps3
SSU ribosomal protein S3e (S3p); Binds the lower part of the 30S subunit head. Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS3 family.
 
 
 0.991
rps11
SSU ribosomal protein S14e (S11p); Located on the platform of the 30S subunit. Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS11 family.
 
 0.989
rps6e
SSU ribosomal protein S6e; Belongs to the eukaryotic ribosomal protein eS6 family.
 
 
 0.988
truB
tRNA pseudouridine 55 synthase; Could be responsible for synthesis of pseudouridine from uracil-55 in the psi GC loop of transfer RNAs; Belongs to the pseudouridine synthase TruB family. Type 2 subfamily.
 
 
 0.987
rps5
SSU ribosomal protein S2e (S5p); With S4 and S12 plays an important role in translational accuracy.
 
 0.987
rps2
SSU ribosomal protein SAe (S2p); Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS2 family.
 
 0.987
rpl18
LSU ribosomal protein L5e (L18p); This is one of the proteins that binds and probably mediates the attachment of the 5S RNA into the large ribosomal subunit, where it forms part of the central protuberance.
 
 
 0.985
rpl10e
LSU ribosomal protein L10e (L16p); Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL16 family.
 
 0.985
