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

ykbAPutative amino acid permease; Exhibits an obligate exchange activity for serine, threonine and aromatic amino acids. (438 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
yuiF
Amino acid transporter; Evidence 2b: Function of strongly homologous gene; Product type t: transporter.
      
 0.846
yhfH
Hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function.
      
 0.572
lysP
Lysine permease; Catalyzes an electroneutral exchange between arginine and ornithine to allow high-efficiency energy conversion in the arginine deiminase pathway; Belongs to the amino acid-polyamine-organocation (APC) superfamily. Basic amino acid/polyamine antiporter (APA) (TC 2.A.3.2) family.
  
  
 0.557
pbuO
Hypoxanthine/guanine permease; Involved in the uptake of the purine bases hypoxanthine and guanine. May work at purine concentrations higher than 100 uM.
   
  
 0.545
guaC
GMP reductase; Catalyzes the irreversible NADPH-dependent deamination of GMP to IMP. It functions in the conversion of nucleobase, nucleoside and nucleotide derivatives of G to A nucleotides, and in maintaining the intracellular balance of A and G nucleotides (Probable).
  
  
 0.531
yodF
Putative Na+/metabolite permease; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pt: putative transporter; Belongs to the sodium:solute symporter (SSF) (TC 2.A.21) family.
    
 
 0.525
fin
Protein required for the switch from F to G during sporulation (anti sigma F); An anti-sigma factor for sporulation specific sigma-F factor, by antagonizing sigma-F it allows the switch to sigma-G factor and progression to the late sporulation development stages. Might stabilize or process Holliday junction intermediates, although this may be due to polar effects on the downstream mfd gene.
      
 0.487
yhzC
Hypothetical protein; Evidence 5: No homology to any previously reported sequences.
      
 0.483
yecA
Putative amino acid/polyamine permease; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pt: putative transporter.
  
  
0.448
pit
Low-affinity inorganic phosphate transporter; Low-affinity inorganic phosphate transport; Belongs to the inorganic phosphate transporter (PiT) (TC 2.A.20) family. Pit subfamily.
  
  
 0.447
