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.

[Homology]
Score
ydcGConserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function; Belongs to the UPF0310 family. (146 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ydcF
Hypothetical protein; Evidence 5: No homology to any previously reported sequences.
  
  
 0.994
ydcH
Putative transcriptional regulator; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; putative regulator.
 
  
 0.990
bscR
Transcriptional regulator for cypB; Negatively regulates the transcription of the fatR-cypB operon. Is displaced from its operator by a range of fatty acids such as oleate, linoleate and phytanate, thereby allowing transcription of the fatR-cypB operon.
   
  
 0.573
rsbX
Serine phosphatase; Negative regulator of sigma-B activity. Dephosphorylates RsbS. Plays a role both in maintaining low sigma-B activity during growth and in reestablishing prestress sigma-B activity after induction. Could have a negative feedback role by indirectly communicating sigma-B protein levels.
  
  
 0.570
ydcI
Putative RNA helicase; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pe: putative enzyme.
  
    0.547
ydcK
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function; Belongs to the SprT family.
  
    0.453
rsbV
Anti-anti-sigma factor (antagonist of RsbW); Positive regulator of sigma-B activity. Non-phosphorylated RsbV binds to RsbW, preventing its association with sigma-B. When phosphorylated, releases RsbW, which is then free to complex with and inactivate sigma-B.
  
    0.428
rsbW
Switch protein/serine kinase and anti-sigma factor (inhibitory sigma-B binding protein); Negative regulator of sigma-B activity. Phosphorylates and inactivates its specific antagonist protein, RsbV. Upon phosphorylation of RsbV, RsbW is released and binds to sigma-B, thereby blocking its ability to form an RNA polymerase holoenzyme (E-sigma-B).
  
    0.428
sigB
RNA polymerase sigma-37 factor (sigma(B)); Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. Sigma B is not essential for sporulation; rather it is required for maximal expression of ctc and csbA which are transcribed in the early stationary phase under conditions inimical to sporulation. May play a role in the ability of the bacterium to adapt to various stresses but is not essential for its survival under these conditions. Positively regulates expression of its own operon; Belongs to the sigma-70 fac [...]

yhjM
Transcriptional regulator of the ntd operon; Positively regulates the ntdABC operon and negatively regulates its own transcription. Binds to NTD to induce ntdABC transcription.
