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

sspFSmall acid-soluble spore protein (alpha/beta-type SASP); May play some important role in either sporulation or the dormant spore. (61 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
sspH
Small acid-soluble spore protein; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type cp: cell process; Belongs to the SspH family.
   
  
 0.841
sspD
Small acid-soluble spore protein (alpha/beta-type SASP); SASP are bound to spore DNA. They are double-stranded DNA- binding proteins that cause DNA to change to an a-like conformation. They protect the DNA backbone from chemical and enzymatic cleavage and are thus involved in dormant spore's high resistance to UV light.
  
  
 0.772
sspE
Small acid-soluble spore protein (gamma-type SASP); SASP are proteins degraded in the first minutes of spore germination and provide amino acids for both new protein synthesis and metabolism. These proteins may be involved in dormant spore's high resistance to UV light.
   
  
 0.733
ykzP
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function.
   
  
 0.725
sspI
Small acid-soluble spore protein; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type f: factor; Belongs to the SspI family.
  
  
 0.702
sspA
Small acid-soluble spore protein (alpha-type SASP); SASP are bound to spore DNA. They are double-stranded DNA- binding proteins that cause DNA to change to an a-like conformation. They protect the DNA backbone from chemical and enzymatic cleavage and are thus involved in dormant spore's high resistance to UV light.
  
  
 0.697
sspP
Small acid-soluble spore protein; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type f: factor; Belongs to the SspP family.
   
  
 0.695
veg
Conserved hypothetical protein; Stimulates biofilm formation via transcriptional activation of extracellular matrix genes. Acts by repressing SinR activity, independently of the SinI, SlrA and SlrR pathways. Could also be involved in the regulation of other genes during biofilm and spore formation.
 
    0.667
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.
  
  
 0.647
sspN
Small acid-soluble spore protein; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type f: factor; Belongs to the SspN family.
