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.

mecANegative regulator of competence; Enables the recognition and targeting of unfolded and aggregated proteins to the ClpC protease or to other proteins involved in proteolysis. (243 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
lp_2226
Competence protein/transcription factor,CoiA-like family.
 
  
 0.854
clpC
ATP-dependent Clp protease, ATP-binding subunit ClpC; Belongs to the ClpA/ClpB family.
   
 
 0.766
clpE
ATP-dependent Clp protease, ATP-binding subunit ClpE; Belongs to the ClpA/ClpB family.
   
 
 0.765
clpB
ATP-dependent Clp protease, ATP-binding subunit ClpB; Part of a stress-induced multi-chaperone system, it is involved in the recovery of the cell from heat-induced damage, in cooperation with DnaK, DnaJ and GrpE. Acts before DnaK, in the processing of protein aggregates. Protein binding stimulates the ATPase activity; ATP hydrolysis unfolds the denatured protein aggregates, which probably helps expose new hydrophobic binding sites on the surface of ClpB-bound aggregates, contributing to the solubilization and refolding of denatured protein aggregates by DnaK (By similarity). Belongs to [...]
    
 
 0.729
clpL
ATP-dependent Clp protease, ATP-binding subunit ClpL; Belongs to the ClpA/ClpB family.
    
 
 0.729
spx3
RNA polymerase (RNAP)-binding regulatory protein, arsenate reductase (ArsC) family, Spx subfamily; Interferes with activator-stimulated transcription by interaction with the RNA polymerase alpha-CTD. May function to globally reduce transcription of genes involved in growth- and development- promoting processes and to increase transcription of genes involved in thiol homeostasis, during periods of extreme stress. Belongs to the ArsC family. Spx subfamily.
  
  
 0.728
clpP
Endopeptidase Clp, proteolytic subunit; Cleaves peptides in various proteins in a process that requires ATP hydrolysis. Has a chymotrypsin-like activity. Plays a major role in the degradation of misfolded proteins. Belongs to the peptidase S14 family.
   
 
 0.722
lp_0535
Hypothetical protein.
  
    0.695
pbp2A
Transpeptidase-transglycosylase (penicillin binding protein 2A).
   
  
 0.683
lp_1415
Hypothetical protein, DUF964 family; Belongs to the UPF0342 family.
  
    0.679
