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

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:
rps12
SSU ribosomal protein S23e (S12p); With S4 and S5 plays an important role in translational accuracy. Located at the interface of the 30S and 50S subunits. Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS12 family.
 
 0.999
rps7
SSU ribosomal protein S5e (S7p); One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds directly to 16S rRNA where it nucleates assembly of the head domain of the 30S subunit. Is located at the subunit interface close to the decoding center; Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS7 family.
 
 0.999
rps10
SSU ribosomal protein S20e (S10p); Involved in the binding of tRNA to the ribosomes. Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS10 family.
 
 0.999
rps11
SSU ribosomal protein S14e (S11p); Located on the platform of the 30S subunit. Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS11 family.
 
 0.999
rps4
SSU ribosomal protein S9e (S4p); One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds directly to 16S rRNA where it nucleates assembly of the body of the 30S subunit.
 
 
 0.999
rps13
SSU ribosomal protein S18e (S13p); Located at the top of the head of the 30S subunit, it contacts several helices of the 16S rRNA. In the 70S ribosome it contacts the 23S rRNA (bridge B1a) and protein L5 of the 50S subunit (bridge B1b), connecting the 2 subunits; these bridges are implicated in subunit movement; Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS13 family.
 
 
 0.999
rpl15
LSU ribosomal protein L27Ae (L15p); Binds to the 23S rRNA; Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL15 family.
 
 0.999
rps5
SSU ribosomal protein S2e (S5p); With S4 and S12 plays an important role in translational accuracy.
 
 0.999
rpl6
LSU ribosomal protein L9e (L6p); This protein binds to the 23S rRNA, and is important in its secondary structure. It is located near the subunit interface in the base of the L7/L12 stalk, and near the tRNA binding site of the peptidyltransferase center; Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL6 family.
 
 
 0.999
rps8
SSU ribosomal protein S15Ae (S8p); One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds directly to 16S rRNA central domain where it helps coordinate assembly of the platform of the 30S subunit; Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS8 family.
