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

ybbAPutative iron-chelator esterase; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pe: putative enzyme. (250 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
feuC
Iron-uptake protein; Involved in the uptake of iron. Probably responsible for the translocation of the substrate across the membrane.
  
    0.982
besA
Bacillibactin trilactone hydrolase; Catalyzes the hydrolysis of the trilactone cycle of ferri- bacillibactin (ferri-BB) complex, leading to the formation of bacillibactin monomers and to cytosolic iron release, thus making iron available for metabolic use. Can also hydrolyze bacillibactin (BB), however the catalytic efficiency for ferri-BB hydrolysis is much higher than for BB.
 
    0.977
feuA
Iron hydroxamate-binding lipoprotein; Involved in the uptake of iron. Belongs to the bacterial solute-binding protein 8 family.
 
  
 0.959
dhbB
Isochorismatase; Evidence 2a: Function of homologous gene experimentally demonstrated in an other organism; Product type e: enzyme.
 
    0.951
feuB
Iron-uptake protein; Involved in the uptake of iron. Probably responsible for the translocation of the substrate across the membrane.
  
    0.942
dhbE
2,3-dihydroxybenzoate-AMP ligase; Involved in the biosynthesis of the catecholic siderophore bacillibactin. Catalyzes the activation of the carboxylate group of 2,3-dihydroxy-benzoate (DHB), via ATP-dependent PPi exchange reactions, to the acyladenylate.
 
  
 0.854
dhbF
Siderophore 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate-glycine-threonine trimeric ester bacillibactin synthetase; Specifically adenylates threonine and glycine, and loads them onto their corresponding peptidyl carrier domains.
 
    0.838
btr
HTH-type transcriptional activator Btr; In iron-limited conditions, activates expression of the feuABCybbA operon, which encodes the bacillibactin uptake system. Acts by binding directly to a conserved direct repeat element upstream of the feuA promoter. Activity is increased in the presence of bacillibactin.
 
  
 0.831
yxeB
ABC transporter (ferrioxamine binding lipoprotein); Part of the ABC transporter complex FhuCBGD involved in iron(3+)-hydroxamate import. Binds the iron(3+)-hydroxamate complex and transfers it to the membrane-bound permease. Partially required for the transport of desferrioxamine.
  
  
 0.745
dhbA
2,3-dihydro-2,3-dihydroxybenzoate dehydrogenase; Evidence 2a: Function of homologous gene experimentally demonstrated in an other organism; Product type e: enzyme; Belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family.
