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

sscASpore assembly and germination protein; Spore protein involved in the assembly of several components of the spore coat, including CotB, CotG and CotH, and in spore germination. (28 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
txpA
Conserved unknown protein (fragment); Toxic component of a type I toxin-antitoxin (TA) system. Overexpression of txpA causes cell lysis; the TxpA protein has been suggested to act on the cell membrane or might possibly block cell wall synthesis. Overexpression in E.coli is not toxic.
      
 0.916
bsrG
Phage toxin; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type m: membrane component.
      
 0.890
sscB
Spore and germination protein; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type f: factor.
     
 0.872
yonT
Hypothetical protein; Evidence 5: No homology to any previously reported sequences.
      
 0.756
prsA
Molecular chaperone lipoprotein; Essential protein that plays a major role in protein secretion by helping the post-translocational extracellular folding of several secreted proteins. Has PPIase activity but it is not essential for its function in vivo; Belongs to the PrsA family.
     
 0.653
ykzV
Putative type I toxin; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type f: factor.
   
    0.640
yjzK
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function.
   
    0.623
yoyJ
Hypothetical protein; Evidence 5: No homology to any previously reported sequences.
      
 0.571
yjcZ
Putative type I toxin; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type h: extrachromosomal origin.
