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
mreCCell shape determining protein MreC; Involved in formation and maintenance of cell shape. (281 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
mreD
Cell shape determining protein MreD.
 
 
 0.999
mreB1
Cell shape determining protein MreB.
 
 
 0.992
minC
Septum site-determining protein MinC; Cell division inhibitor that blocks the formation of polar Z ring septums. Rapidly oscillates between the poles of the cell to destabilize FtsZ filaments that have formed before they mature into polar Z rings. Prevents FtsZ polymerization.
  
  
 0.983
minD
Septum site-determining protein MinD.
  
    0.974
mreB2
Cell shape determining protein MreB.
 
 
 0.957
pbp2x
Transpeptidase (penicillin binding protein 2B).
 
 
 0.917
radC
DNA repair protein.
 
  
 0.902
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.
  
  
 0.873
murC
UDP-N-acetylmuramate-alanine ligase; Cell wall formation; Belongs to the MurCDEF family.
 
  
 0.852
rodA2
Rod-shape determining protein; Belongs to the SEDS family.
 
  
 0.820
