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

yabGSporulation-specific protease; Cleaves the spore coat proteins SpoIVA and SafA. May cooperate with tgl to mediate the temperature-dependent cross-linking of coat proteins like GerQ. (290 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ylbD
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function.
  
    0.843
spoIVA
Morphogenetic stage IV sporulation protein; ATPase. Has a role at an early stage in the morphogenesis of the spore coat outer layers. Its ATP hydrolysis is required for proper assembly of the spore coat. Forms a basement layer around the outside surface of the forespore and self-assembles irreversibly into higher order structures by binding and hydrolyzing ATP thus creating a durable and stable platform upon which thereafter morphogenesis of the coat can take place. Required for proper localization of spore coat protein CotE and sporulation-specific proteins including SpoVM.
  
   
 0.842
ytaF
Putative integral inner membrane protein; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pm: putative membrane component.
  
  
 0.802
yxeE
Inner spore coat protein; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type s: structure.
   
  
 0.741
spoIIGA
Protease processing pro-sigma-E; Probable aspartic protease that is responsible for the proteolytic cleavage of the RNA polymerase sigma E factor (SigE/spoIIGB) to yield the active peptide in the mother cell during sporulation. Responds to a signal from the forespore that is triggered by the extracellular signal protein SpoIIR. Belongs to the peptidase U4 family.
  
   
 0.698
ylbJ
Putative factor required for spore cortex formation; Required for spore cortex formation.
  
   
 0.689
spoIIIAE
Stage III sporulation protein; Required during sporulation for activation of sigma factor SpoIIIG/SigG after engulfment is completed in the prespore. Overexpression in the absence of SpoIIIJ is synthetically lethal.
  
  
 0.680
ytrI
Protein involved in sporulation; Involved in sporulation.
  
     0.620
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.
  
  
 0.619
spoVFA
Spore dipicolinate synthase subunit A; Together with DpaB, catalyzes the conversion of dihydrodipicolinate to dipicolinate (DPA), which constitutes up to 10% of the dry weight of the spore.
