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

Score
zinTZinc metallochaperone with NTPase activity; May bind GTP. Might act as metal chaperone (Potential). Contributes to optimal growth under starvation for zinc. (397 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
folEB
GTP cyclohydrolase I; Converts GTP to 7,8-dihydroneopterin triphosphate. Belongs to the GTP cyclohydrolase IV family.
  
  
 0.991
znuA
Zn(II)-binding lipoprotein; Part of the high-affinity ABC transporter complex ZnuABC involved in zinc import (Probable). ZnuABC-mediated zinc transport is required for comF expression and competence development.
  
  
 0.983
yciB
Putative metal uptake system lipoprotein; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pt: putative transporter.
  
  
 0.975
rpsNB
Alternative ribosomal protein S14; Binds 16S rRNA, required for the assembly of 30S particles and may also be responsible for determining the conformation of the 16S rRNA at the A site; Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS14 family.
  
 
 0.969
yczL
Hypothetical protein; Evidence 5: No homology to any previously reported sequences.
  
  
 0.964
yrpE
Putative lipoprotein; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type lp: lipoprotein; Belongs to the calycin superfamily. ZinT family.
  
  
 0.960
yjiA
Hypothetical protein; Evidence 5: No homology to any previously reported sequences.
      
 0.919
znuB
High affinity Zn(II) ABC transporter (permease); Part of the high-affinity ABC transporter complex ZnuABC involved in zinc import (Probable). Responsible for the translocation of the substrate across the membrane (By similarity). ZnuABC-mediated zinc transport is required for comF expression and competence development.
  
  
 0.899
rpmEB
Ribosomal protein L31; While neither of the L31 paralogs is essential, this protein does not seem to function as the main L31 protein. Has a higher affinity for 70S ribosomes than the zinc-containing L31 paralog; is able to displace it to varying extents, even under zinc-replete conditions.
  
  
 0.883
zur
Transcriptional regulator (Fur family); Acts as a negative controlling element, employing Zn(2+) as a cofactor to bind the operator of the repressed genes. Required for the zinc-specific repression of two operons implicated in zinc uptake, yciC and ycdHIyceA. Also represses the expression of rpmE2, the gene for ribosomal protein L31B, which is expressed only after the end of exponential growth.
