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.

Score
ecsBABC transporter (membrane protein); Presumed to form part of an ABC-transporter, it may form a transport channel. (408 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ecsA
ABC transporter (ATP-binding protein); Has a role in exoprotein production, sporulation and competence.
 
  
 0.999
ecsC
Putative hydrolase; Unknown, does not resemble components of ABC transporters.
  
  
 0.990
rseP
Regulator of sigma-W protease RasP; Is responsible for site-2 cleavage of the RsiW anti-sigma factor. This results, after a third proteolytic step catalyzed by the ClpXP protease, in the release of SigW and the transcription activation of the genes under the control of the sigma-W factor. Can also cleave liberated signal peptides of PenP and Mpr, probably within in the cell membrane.
  
  
 0.833
yvkN
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function.
      
 0.783
ytxK
Putative nucleic acid methyltransferase; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pe: putative enzyme; To type I restriction system adenine methylases.
 
    0.732
ylbF
Putative regulatory protein; Regulates sporulation prior to stage II. Positively controls the competence regulator ComK at a post-transcriptional level. May modulate the translation, stability or activity of ComS. May work together with YmcA to regulate community development.
  
   
 0.731
ltaSA
Exported glycerol phosphate lipoteichoic acid synthetase and anion-binding protein; Catalyzes the polymerization of lipoteichoic acid (LTA) polyglycerol phosphate, a reaction that presumably uses phosphatidylglycerol (PG) as substrate.
  
  
 0.728
scuA
Assembly factor BSco of the Cu(A) site of cytochrome c oxidase; Necessary for insertion of copper into the active site of cytochrome c oxidase. May play a role in copper homeostasis or redox signaling; Belongs to the SCO1/2 family.
   
  
 0.715
yozE
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function; Belongs to the UPF0346 family.
  
     0.707
ydcK
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function; Belongs to the SprT family.
