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.

Score
gerDLipoprotein with a role in spores' rapid response to nutrient germinants; May be involved in fructose recognition during germination. (185 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
kbaA
Inner membrane protein involved in activation of the KinB signaling pathway to sporulation; Involved in the activation of the KinB signaling pathway of sporulation.
 
    0.788
rsfA
Prespore-specific regulatory gene; Seems to improve the efficiency of sporulation by fine-tuning the expression of genes in the sigma F regulon, particularly the timing of their expression. Negatively regulates spoIIR and its own synthesis.
  
    0.779
lytH
Sporulation-specific L-Ala-D-Glu endopeptidase; L-Ala--D-Glu endopeptidase involved in production of single L-alanine side chains from tetrapeptides in the spore cortex peptidoglycan. Therefore, is required for the endospore cortex maturation.
  
    0.778
gerR
DNA-binding regulator; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type r: regulator.
  
    0.777
ydcC
Putative lipoprotein; required for efficient sporulation.
  
    0.776
cotE
Morphogenic spore protein; Morphogenic protein required for the assembly of the outer coat of the endospore. Is also a regulatory protein for the expression of cotA, cotB, cotC, cotH and other genes encoding spore outer coat proteins.
  
    0.776
yqhG
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function.
  
    0.776
sspI
Small acid-soluble spore protein; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type f: factor; Belongs to the SspI family.
  
    0.774
gerQ
Inner spore coat protein; Essential for the localization of CwlJ in the spore coat and for spore germination triggered by calcium and dipicolinic acid (DPA). Its assembly into the spore coat is dependent on the coat morphogenetic proteins CotE and SpoIVA.
  
    0.768
yhbB
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function.
  
    0.763
