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.

yaaCConserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function. (315 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
yqgE
Putative efflux transporter; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pt: putative transporter.
  
    0.770
ysxE
Spore coat protein; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type cp: cell process.
  
     0.765
yutH
Spore coat-associated protein; Involved in sporulation; Belongs to the CotS family.
  
     0.765
fin
Protein required for the switch from F to G during sporulation (anti sigma F); An anti-sigma factor for sporulation specific sigma-F factor, by antagonizing sigma-F it allows the switch to sigma-G factor and progression to the late sporulation development stages. Might stabilize or process Holliday junction intermediates, although this may be due to polar effects on the downstream mfd gene.
  
     0.760
gerM
Germination (cortex hydrolysis) and sporulation (stage II, multiple polar septa) lytic enzyme; Unknown. Affects both sporulation and germination.
  
     0.760
yabQ
Membrane protein of the forespore; Required for sporulation. Plays an important role in cortex and coat formation.
  
    0.756
yrzE
Putative transporter; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pt: putative transporter.
  
     0.754
bofA
Inhibitor of the pro-sigma(K) processing machinery; Involved in the mediation of the intercompartmental coupling of pro-sigma K processing to events in the forespore. Inhibits SpoIVFB- processing activity until a signal has been received from the forespore. Could inhibit SpoIVFB metalloprotease activity by coordinating a zinc in the SpoIVFB active site, preventing access of a water molecule and the sequence of pro-sigma K, which are necessary for peptide bond hydrolysis to produce sigma-K.
  
  
 0.736
spoVID
Morphogenetic spore protein (stage VI sporulation); Required for assembly of a normal spore coat. May be a component of the innermost layer of the spore coat that aids in its adherence to the prespore.
  
    0.713
yqfX
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function.
  
    0.711
