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

zapACell-division Z-ring component, stimulator of FtsZ polymerization. (83 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
mutS
DNA mismatch repair protein MutS2; Endonuclease that is involved in the suppression of homologous recombination and may therefore have a key role in the control of bacterial genetic diversity; Belongs to the DNA mismatch repair MutS family. MutS2 subfamily.
  
    0.765
lp_0517
Hypothetical protein.
  
    0.695
ftsZ
Cell division protein FtsZ; Essential cell division protein that forms a contractile ring structure (Z ring) at the future cell division site. The regulation of the ring assembly controls the timing and the location of cell division. One of the functions of the FtsZ ring is to recruit other cell division proteins to the septum to produce a new cell wall between the dividing cells. Binds GTP and shows GTPase activity.
  
 
 0.673
divIC
Septum formation initiator.
  
  
 0.669
lp_1281
Hypothetical protein, DUF1797 family.
  
    0.664
lp_0479
Hypothetical protein, DUF1934 family.
  
    0.645
lp_2273
Hypothetical protein, DUF1292 family; Belongs to the UPF0473 family.
  
    0.645
ezrA
Septation ring formation regulator; Negative regulator of FtsZ ring formation; modulates the frequency and position of FtsZ ring formation. Inhibits FtsZ ring formation at polar sites. Interacts either with FtsZ or with one of its binding partners to promote depolymerization; Belongs to the EzrA family.

lp_0701
Hypothetical protein, DUF2508 family.
  
    0.639
lp_2274
Endonuclease, resolvase; Could be a nuclease involved in processing of the 5'-end of pre-16S rRNA; Belongs to the YqgF nuclease family.
