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

yfkQPutative spore germination protein; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; putative factor. (513 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
yfkR
Putative spore germination protein; May be involved in spore germination. Belongs to the GerABKC lipoprotein family.
  
 0.997
yfkT
Putative spore germination integral inner membrane protein; May be involved in spore germination. Belongs to the amino acid-polyamine-organocation (APC) superfamily. Spore germination protein (SGP) (TC 2.A.3.9) family.
 
  
 0.993
gerAC
Component of the germination receptor GerA; Forms a complex at the inner spore membrane which acts as a receptor for L-alanine, thus is involved in the stimulation of germination in response to alanine. Can stimulate germination in the absence of GerD and GerK gene products (fructose and glucose receptors, respectively), but the response is improved in their presence.
 
  
 0.861
yndF
Putative spore germination lipoprotein; May be involved in spore germination. Belongs to the GerABKC lipoprotein family.
  
 0.855
gerBC
Lipoprotein component of the germination receptor B; Involved in the response to the germinative mixture of L- asparagine, glucose, fructose and potassium ions (AGFK). Cannot stimulate germination in the absence of gerD and gerK gene products (fructose and glucose receptors respectively).
  
 0.853
yndE
Putative spore germination integral inner membrane protein; Involved in the germinative response to L-alanine. Could be an amino acid transporter (By similarity); Belongs to the amino acid-polyamine-organocation (APC) superfamily. Spore germination protein (SGP) (TC 2.A.3.9) family.
 
  
 0.849
gerAB
Component of the germination receptor GerA; Involved in the germinative response to L-alanine. Could be an amino acid transporter. Forms a complex at the inner spore membrane which acts as a receptor for L-alanine, thus is involved in the stimulation of germination in response to alanine. Can stimulate germination in the absence of gerD and gerK gene products (fructose and glucose receptors, respectively), but the response is improved in their presence.
 
  
 0.823
gerBB
Component of germinant receptor B; Involved in the response to the germinative mixture of L- asparagine, glucose, fructose and potassium ions (AGFK). Could be an amino acid transporter. Cannot stimulate germination in the absence of gerD and gerK gene products (fructose and glucose receptors, respectively).
 
  
 0.819
yfkS
Hypothetical protein; Evidence 5: No homology to any previously reported sequences.
  
    0.811
spoVAEB
Spore germinant protein; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type cp: cell process.
  
  
 0.789
