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

yaaTConserved hypothetical protein; Essential for the phosphorelay during initiation of sporulation. May control the level of phosphorylated spo0A through spo0E activity during sporulation. (275 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ylbF
Putative regulatory protein; Regulates sporulation prior to stage II. Positively controls the competence regulator ComK at a post-transcriptional level. May modulate the translation, stability or activity of ComS. May work together with YmcA to regulate community development.
 
  
 0.999
ymcA
Master regulator for biofilm formation; May work together with YlbF to regulate community development.
  
   
 0.999
holB
DNA polymerase III delta' subunit; DNA polymerase III is a complex, multichain enzyme responsible for most of the replicative synthesis in bacteria.
  
 0.981
rny
Endoribonuclease Y; Endoribonuclease that initiates mRNA decay. Initiates the decay of all SAM-dependent riboswitches, such as yitJ riboswitch. Involved in processing of the gapA operon mRNA, it cleaves between cggR and gapA. Is also the decay-initiating endonuclease for rpsO mRNA. Belongs to the RNase Y family.
 
  
 0.957
tmk
Thymidylate kinase; Phosphorylation of dTMP to form dTDP in both de novo and salvage pathways of dTTP synthesis; Belongs to the thymidylate kinase family.
 
    0.901
yaaR
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function.
  
  
 0.893
dnaH
Subunit of the DNA replication complex; Involved in initiation control of chromosome replication.
  
    0.877
yaaQ
Conserved hypothetical protein; Binds cyclic di-AMP (c-di-AMP) and is probably involved in c- di-AMP-mediated signaling pathways. In vitro, can also bind cyclic GMP- AMP (3'3'-cGAMP), with lower affinity, but not c-di-GMP or 2'3'-cGAMP.
  
    0.876
rsmI
Ribosomal RNA small subunit methyltransferase I; Catalyzes the 2'-O-methylation of the ribose of cytidine 1402 (C1402) in 16S rRNA.
 
    0.860
yabB
Putative methyltransferase; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pe: putative enzyme.
 
    0.794
