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

mapMethionine 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. (296 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
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.
 
 
 0.996
rpl14
LSU ribosomal protein L23e (L14p); Binds to 23S rRNA. Forms part of two intersubunit bridges in the 70S ribosome; Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL14 family.
 
 
 0.996
rpl30
LSU ribosomal protein L7e (L30p).
 
 
 0.995
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.
 
 
 0.995
rpl29
LSU ribosomal protein L35e (L29p); Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL29 family.
 
 
 0.995
rps3
SSU ribosomal protein S3e (S3p); Binds the lower part of the 30S subunit head. Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS3 family.
 
 
 0.995
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.
 
 
 0.993
rps5
SSU ribosomal protein S2e (S5p); With S4 and S12 plays an important role in translational accuracy.
 
 
 0.992
rpl24
LSU ribosomal protein L26e (L24p); Located at the polypeptide exit tunnel on the outside of the subunit.
 
 
 0.992
