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

yhcQConserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function. (217 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
yhcN
Putative lipoprotein; Probably contributes, directly or indirectly, to early events in germination. May play a role in spore outgrowth.
  
    0.921
yqfQ
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function.
  
  
 0.860
tlp
Small acid-soluble spore protein (thioredoxin-like protein); Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type f: factor; Belongs to the Tlp family.
  
  
 0.848
ymfJ
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function.
  
    0.819
yraD
Putative spore coat protein; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; cell process.
   
  
 0.810
yusN
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function.
   
  
 0.798
sspB
Small acid-soluble spore protein (beta-type SASP); SASP are bound to spore DNA. They are double-stranded DNA- binding proteins that cause DNA to change to an a-like conformation. They protect the DNA backbone from chemical and enzymatic cleavage and are thus involved in dormant spore's high resistance to UV light.
   
  
 0.749
yxeD
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function.
  
    0.742
yhcV
Putative oxidoreductase; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pe: putative enzyme.
   
    0.730
cotE
Morphogenic spore protein; Morphogenic protein required for the assembly of the outer coat of the endospore. Is also a regulatory protein for the expression of cotA, cotB, cotC, cotH and other genes encoding spore outer coat proteins.
