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.

rsbRBComponent of the piezosome (stressosome); One of 4 functionally non-identical RsbR paralogs, it functions in the environmental signaling branch of the general stress response. (277 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
rsbT
Switch protein/serine-threonine kinase; Provides the crucial link between the upstream module (communication of environmental stress) and the downstream module (integration of the environmental signals with signals of energy stress) that compose the signal transduction pathway controlling the sigma-B factor. Phosphorylates and inactivates its specific antagonist protein RsbS thanks to its serine kinase activity. Upon phosphorylation of RsbS, RsbT is released to stimulate RsbU, a PP2C phosphatase, thereby initiating the signaling cascade that ultimately activates sigma-B. The activity o [...]

rsbS
Antagonist of RsbT; Negative regulator of sigma-B activity. Non-phosphorylated RsbS binds to RsbT, preventing its association with RsbU. Requires any one of RsbRA, RsbRB, RsbRC or RsbRD to sequester RsbT. When RsbS and the RsbR paralog(s) are phosphorylated, they release RsbT, which can then bind and activate RsbU.
  
  
 0.982
rsbX
Serine phosphatase; Negative regulator of sigma-B activity. Dephosphorylates RsbS. Plays a role both in maintaining low sigma-B activity during growth and in reestablishing prestress sigma-B activity after induction. Could have a negative feedback role by indirectly communicating sigma-B protein levels.
 
 
 0.965
rsbP
Serine phosphatase; Positive regulator of sigma-B activity. Dephosphorylates RsbV in response to energy stress.
 
 
 0.939
rsbU
Serine phosphatase; Positive regulator of sigma-B activity. Dephosphorylates RsbV in response to environmental stress conveyed from the RsbXST module.
 
 
 0.914
rsbW
Switch protein/serine kinase and anti-sigma factor (inhibitory sigma-B binding protein); Negative regulator of sigma-B activity. Phosphorylates and inactivates its specific antagonist protein, RsbV. Upon phosphorylation of RsbV, RsbW is released and binds to sigma-B, thereby blocking its ability to form an RNA polymerase holoenzyme (E-sigma-B).
 
 
 0.906
fliY
Flagellar motor switching and energizing phosphatase; Component of the flagellar switch. Binds CheY-P and increases its hydrolysis rate in vitro. May function constitutively to remove CheY-P around the flagellar switch to maintain an optimal level of CheY-P whereas CheC may function after addition of an attractant to cope with increased levels of CheY-P; Belongs to the FliN/MopA/SpaO family.
  
   0.826
rsbQ
Regulator of RsbP phosphatase; Positive regulator required for energy stress activation of the sigma-B transcription factor. Could be required for RsbP phosphatase activity; Belongs to the AB hydrolase superfamily.
  
   
 0.810
rsbV
Anti-anti-sigma factor (antagonist of RsbW); Positive regulator of sigma-B activity. Non-phosphorylated RsbV binds to RsbW, preventing its association with sigma-B. When phosphorylated, releases RsbW, which is then free to complex with and inactivate sigma-B.
      
 0.740
flgB
Flagellar component of cell-proximal portion of basal-body rod; Structural component of flagellum, the bacterial motility apparatus. Part of the rod structure of flagellar basal body.
