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.

yfkLEfflux transporter; Evidence 2a: Function of homologous gene experimentally demonstrated in an other organism; transporter. (396 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
aroC
3-dehydroquinate dehydratase; Involved in the third step of the chorismate pathway, which leads to the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids. Catalyzes the cis- dehydration of 3-dehydroquinate (DHQ) and introduces the first double bond of the aromatic ring to yield 3-dehydroshikimate. Belongs to the type-I 3-dehydroquinase family.
 
   
 0.857
thiU
Thiamine binding protein; Part of the ABC transporter complex YkoCDEF that could transport hydroxymethylpyrimidine (HMP) and/or thiamine. Could also transport other HMP-containing products. Binds thiamine via its HMP moiety.
      
 0.714
yfkK
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function; Belongs to the UPF0435 family.
  
    0.576
aroA
3-phosphoshikimate 1-carboxyvinyltransferase (5-enolpyruvoylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase); Catalyzes the transfer of the enolpyruvyl moiety of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to the 5-hydroxyl of shikimate-3-phosphate (S3P) to produce enolpyruvyl shikimate-3-phosphate and inorganic phosphate.
 
  
 0.562
yacP
Putative ribonuclease with PIN and NYN domains; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; putative enzyme.
   
  
 0.537
ampS
Aminopeptidase; Metal-dependent exopeptidase; Belongs to the peptidase M29 family.
   
  
 0.525
aroX
3-deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate synthase; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type e: enzyme; Belongs to the class-I DAHP synthase family.
   
  
 0.498
ctpA
Carboxy-terminal processing protease; Evidence 2a: Function of homologous gene experimentally demonstrated in an other organism; enzyme.
      
 0.410
yebE
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function.
  
     0.402
