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.

yfkCPutative mechanosensitive ion channel; May play a role in resistance to osmotic downshock. Belongs to the MscS (TC 1.A.23) family. (280 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
mscL
Large conductance mechanosensitive channel protein; Channel that opens in response to stretch forces in the membrane lipid bilayer. Forms a nonselective ion channel with a conductance of about 4 nanosiemens. May participate in the regulation of osmotic pressure changes within the cell.

yfkA
Putative Fe-S oxidoreductase, radical SAM superfamily; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pe: putative enzyme.
  
    0.872
gmuR
Transcriptional regulator (GntR family); Transcriptional repressor of the gmuBACDREFG operon which is involved in the uptake and degradation of glucomannan.

ybeC
Putative H+/amino acid transporter; Uptake of an yet unknown amino-acid with the concomitant import of a proton; Belongs to the amino acid-polyamine-organocation (APC) superfamily. AGT (TC 2.A.3.11) family.

mrpB
Na+/H+ antiporter complex; Mrp complex is a Na(+)/H(+) antiporter that is considered to be the major Na(+) excretion system in B.subtilis. Has a major role in Na(+) resistance and a minor role in Na(+)- and K(+)-dependent pH homeostasis as compared to TetB. MrpA may be the actual Na(+)/H(+) antiporter, although the six other Mrp proteins are all required for Na(+)/H(+) antiport activity and Na(+) resistance. MrpA is required for initiation of sporulation when external Na(+) concentration increases. Also transports Li(+) but not K(+), Ca(2+) or Mg(2+). Belongs to the CPA3 antiporters (T [...]
