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

yjaZConserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function. (261 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
spoVIF
Sporulation-specific protein needed for heat resistance; Transcription factor involved in spore coat assembly and spore resistance. Regulates the transcription of at least cgeA, cotG and cotS.
  
    0.736
fliJ
Flagellar synthesis chaperone; Flagellar protein that affects chemotactic events.
  
     0.721
yjbA
Putative nucleic acid binding protein; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pf: putative factor; Belongs to the UPF0736 family.
 
     0.719
ytlQ
Putative hydrolase; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pe: putative enzyme.
  
     0.718
yqfQ
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function.
  
    0.716
ylxL
Coupling factor for flagellin transcription and translation; Required for swarming motility and for maximal sigma-D activity.
  
     0.704
comK
Competence transcription factor (CTF); A master regulator required for the expression of late competence genes including comC, comE, comG and the bdbDC operon. Receives signals from SrfA, and possibly other regulatory COM genes, and transduces these signals to the late COM genes. Represses transcription of rok. May repress expression of a few genes.
  
     0.683
ytrI
Protein involved in sporulation; Involved in sporulation.
  
     0.679
yutH
