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

Score
htpXMembrane protease; Evidence 2a: Function of homologous gene experimentally demonstrated in an other organism; Product type e: enzyme; Belongs to the peptidase M48B family. (298 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ftsH
Cell-division protein and general stress protein (class III heat-shock); Acts as a processive, ATP-dependent zinc metallopeptidase for both cytoplasmic and membrane proteins. Plays a role in the quality control of integral membrane proteins; In the central section; belongs to the AAA ATPase family.
   
 
 0.898
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.
     
 0.861
htpK
Regulator of quality control; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type r: regulator.
     
 0.852
dnaK
Molecular chaperone; Acts as a chaperone; Belongs to the heat shock protein 70 family.
  
 
 0.710
grpE
Nucleotide exchange factor for DnaK activity; Participates actively in the response to hyperosmotic and heat shock by preventing the aggregation of stress-denatured proteins, in association with DnaK and GrpE. It is the nucleotide exchange factor for DnaK and may function as a thermosensor. Unfolded proteins bind initially to DnaJ; upon interaction with the DnaJ-bound protein, DnaK hydrolyzes its bound ATP, resulting in the formation of a stable complex. GrpE releases ADP from DnaK; ATP binding to DnaK triggers the release of the substrate protein, thus completing the reaction cycle. S [...]

ytzA
Putative integral inner membrane protein; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pm: putative membrane component.
   
  
 0.658
groES
Chaperonin small subunit; Binds to Cpn60 in the presence of Mg-ATP and suppresses the ATPase activity of the latter; Belongs to the GroES chaperonin family.
  
  
 0.642
prsW
Protease required for RsiW anti-sigma(W) degradation; Involved in the degradation of anti-sigma-W factor RsiW. Responsible for Site-1 cleavage of the RsiW anti-sigma factor. This results, after two other proteolytic steps catalyzed by the RasP and ClpXP proteases, in the release of SigW and the transcription activation of the genes under the control of the sigma-W factor. Seems to be responsible for sensing antimicrobial peptides that damage the cell membrane and other agents that cause cell envelope stress. Therefore it is a protease governing regulated intramembrane proteolysis and r [...]
   
  
 0.634
htrA
Membrane bound serine protease Do, quality control protease (heat-shock protein); Degrades abnormal exported proteins and responsible for the propeptide processing of a natural pro-protein and for the maturation of a native protein. It also plays a prominent role in stress (heat shock, ethanol, puromycin and NaCl) resistance during active exponential growth (Probable); Belongs to the peptidase S1C family.
  
  
 0.626
dnaJ
Co-factor of molecular chaperone; Participates actively in the response to hyperosmotic and heat shock by preventing the aggregation of stress-denatured proteins and by disaggregating proteins, also in an autonomous, DnaK-independent fashion. Unfolded proteins bind initially to DnaJ; upon interaction with the DnaJ-bound protein, DnaK hydrolyzes its bound ATP, resulting in the formation of a stable complex. GrpE releases ADP from DnaK; ATP binding to DnaK triggers the release of the substrate protein, thus completing the reaction cycle. Several rounds of ATP-dependent interactions betwe [...]
