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
hicD1L-2-hydroxyisocaproate dehydrogenase; Belongs to the LDH/MDH superfamily. (319 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ldhD
D-lactate dehydrogenase.
  
 0.979
pyk
Pyruvate kinase; Belongs to the pyruvate kinase family.
  
 0.971
mae
Malic enzyme, NAD-dependent.
  
 0.951
pycA
Pyruvate carboxylase; Catalyzes a 2-step reaction, involving the ATP-dependent carboxylation of the covalently attached biotin in the first step and the transfer of the carboxyl group to pyruvate in the second.
  
 0.943
mleS
Malolactic enzyme; Involved in the malolactic fermentation (MLF) of wine, which results in a natural decrease in acidity and favorable changes in wine flavors. Catalyzes the decarboxylation of L-malate to L-lactate. Belongs to the malic enzymes family.
  
 0.937
larA
Lactate racemization operon protein LarA; Catalyzes the interconversion between the D- and L-isomers of lactate. May act as a rescue enzyme to ensure D-lactate production in physiological conditions where its production by the D-lactate dehydrogenase LdhD is not sufficient. D-Lactate is absolutely required for growth of L.plantarum and is an essential component of the cell wall peptidoglycan in this species, where it is incorporated as the last residue of the muramoyl-pentadepsipeptide peptidoglycan precursor; its incorporation confers high level of vancomycin resistance.
     
 0.930
pdhB
Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, E1 component,beta subunit.
   
 0.927
pdhA
Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, E1 component,alpha subunit; The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex catalyzes the overall conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA and CO(2). It contains multiple copies of three enzymatic components: pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1), dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase (E2) and lipoamide dehydrogenase (E3).
   
 
 0.920
pflF
Formate C-acetyltransferase.
   
 
 0.917
tkt3
Transketolase; Belongs to the transketolase family.
  
 0.915
