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

yitWConserved hypothetical protein; Involved in the maturation of iron-sulfur (Fe-S) proteins. May function as a Fe-S cluster carrier. (102 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
sufC
Sulfur mobilizing ABC protein, ATPase; Evidence 2b: Function of strongly homologous gene; enzyme; Belongs to the ABC transporter superfamily. Ycf16 family.

sufU
Iron-sulfur cluster assembly scaffold protein; Its function is controversial. Has been generally assumed to be an iron-sulfur cluster assembly scaffold protein , but more recent evidence suggest it is a sulfurtransferase rather than a scaffold assembly protein. Has been shown to bind low levels of a labile, air- sensitive Fe-S cluster; this can be assembled under anaerobic conditions from FeCl(3) and Li(2)S. Has been shown to be able to transfer this Fe-S cluster to an acceptor protein. Stimulates the cysteine desulfurase activity of SufS, for which it acts as a second substrate. Alkyl [...]

sufD
FeS assembly protein SufD; The SufBCD complex acts synergistically with SufE to stimulate the cysteine desulfurase activity of SufS. The SufBCD complex contributes to the assembly or repair of oxygen-labile iron-sulfur clusters under oxidative stress. May facilitate iron uptake from extracellular iron chelators under iron limitation (By similarity). Belongs to the UPF0051 (ycf24) family.

sufB
FeS cluster formation protein; The SufBCD complex acts synergistically with SufE to stimulate the cysteine desulfurase activity of SufS. The SufBCD complex contributes to the assembly or repair of oxygen-labile iron-sulfur clusters under oxidative stress. May facilitate iron uptake from extracellular iron chelators under iron limitation (By similarity). Belongs to the UPF0051 (ycf24) family.

sufS
Cysteine desulfurase; Enzyme able to deliver sulfur to partners involved in Fe-S cluster assembly. Catalyzes the removal of elemental sulfur atoms from L-cysteine to produce L-alanine. Activity is stimulated 40- to 100-fold by SufU, which acts as a second substrate for this enzyme following release of Ala, and generating SufU.S. A mixture of SufS, SufU, Fra and L-cysteine is able to reconstitute Fe-S clusters on apo-aconitase (citB), reconstituting aconitase activity.

yoaE
Molybdopterin cofactor oxido-reductase; Evidence 2b: Function of strongly homologous gene; enzyme.
     
 0.683
tuaB
Putative exporter involved in biosynthesis of teichuronic acid; Might be involved in the translocation of teichuronic acid repeating units from the inner to the outer surface of the membrane.

hutM
Histidine permease; Evidence 2b: Function of strongly homologous gene; Product type t: transporter.
      
 0.680
yitV
Putative hydrolase; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pe: putative enzyme.
  
    0.645
ydeM
Putative dehydratase; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; putative enzyme.
