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.

cspCCold-shock protein; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type f: factor. (66 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
pnpA
Polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase); Involved in mRNA degradation. Catalyzes the phosphorolysis of single-stranded polyribonucleotides processively in the 3'- to 5'- direction. Necessary for competence development in Bacillus subtilis. May be necessary for modification of the srfA transcript (stabilization or translation activation).
   
 
 0.740
dnaK
Molecular chaperone; Acts as a chaperone; Belongs to the heat shock protein 70 family.
  
 
 0.675
rplW
Ribosomal protein L23; One of the early assembly proteins it binds 23S rRNA. One of the proteins that surrounds the polypeptide exit tunnel on the outside of the ribosome. Forms the main docking site for trigger factor binding to the ribosome; Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL23 family.
   
   0.663
cshB
ATP-dependent RNA helicase; DEAD-box RNA helicase that plays a role in 70S ribosome assembly. May work in conjunction with the cold shock proteins to ensure proper initiation of transcription at low and optimal temperatures.
  
 0.641
rnr
Ribonuclease R; 3'-5' exoribonuclease that releases 5'-nucleoside monophosphates and is involved in maturation of structured RNAs.
    
 
 0.629
rplX
Ribosomal protein L24 (BL23); One of two assembly initiator proteins, it binds directly to the 5'-end of the 23S rRNA, where it nucleates assembly of the 50S subunit. Has also been isolated as a basic, heat-shock stable DNA- binding protein from the B.subtilis nucleoid. It binds cooperatively to double-stranded supercoiled DNA which it further compacts into complexes 15-17 nm in diameter. Overexpression of the protein disrupts nucleoid segregation and positioning.
   
   0.614
rpsK
Ribosomal protein S11 (BS11); Located on the platform of the 30S subunit, it bridges several disparate RNA helices of the 16S rRNA. Forms part of the Shine- Dalgarno cleft in the 70S ribosome; Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS11 family.
   
   0.589
des
Fatty acid desaturase; Catalyzes the introduction of a cis-double bond at the delta(5) position of existing saturated fatty acids attached to membrane phospholipids. It is not strictly specific for palmitic acid (C16) but can also accept C14 as well as C18 species to yield unsaturated fatty acids.
  
  
 0.574
rpsL
Ribosomal protein S12 (BS12); With S4 and S5 plays an important role in translational accuracy.
   
 
 0.573
groEL
Chaperonin large subunit; Prevents misfolding and promotes the refolding and proper assembly of unfolded polypeptides generated under stress conditions.
   
 
 0.569
