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

rnpZAOmega 1 subunit of RNA polymerase; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type f: factor; Belongs to the UPF0356 family. (69 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
rpoZ
Omega subunit of RNA polymerase; Promotes RNA polymerase assembly. Latches the N- and C- terminal regions of the beta' subunit thereby facilitating its interaction with the beta and alpha subunits (By similarity).
   
 
 0.947
rpoE
RNA polymerase (delta subunit); Participates in both the initiation and recycling phases of transcription. In the presence of the delta subunit, RNAP displays an increased specificity of transcription, a decreased affinity for nucleic acids, and an increased efficiency of RNA synthesis because of enhanced recycling. May function in sigma factor switching. It displaces RNA bound to RNA polymerase in a binary complex; Belongs to the RpoE family.
   
 
 0.920
rpoB
RNA polymerase (beta subunit); DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates.
    
   0.900
rpoC
RNA polymerase (beta' subunit); DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates.
    
   0.900
rpoA
RNA polymerase (alpha subunit); DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates.
    
   0.900
rnjA
Ribonuclease J1; An RNase that has endonuclease and 5'-3' exonuclease activity, playing a role in both rRNA and mRNA stability and degradation. Endonuclease activity can cleave within 4 nucleotides of the 5'-end of a triphosphorylated RNA. Endonuclease digestion by the RNase J1/J2 complex occurs at a different site and in some cases more efficiently than J1 or J2 alone. The exonuclease activity of the J1/J2 complex is highly processive on substrates longer than 5 nucleotides, on shorter substrates is distributive. Preferentially cleaves ssRNA, possibly in AU-rich regions. The 5'-exonuc [...]

bmrR
Transcriptional regulator (MerR family); Activates transcription of the bmr gene in response to structurally dissimilar drugs. Binds rhodamine as an inducer.
    
 
 0.862
yktA
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function; PubMedId: 19429628; Belongs to the UPF0223 family.
 
  
 0.844
spxA
Redox-sensitive regulator enzyme; Interferes with activator-stimulated transcription by interaction with the RNA polymerase alpha-CTD. May function to globally reduce transcription of genes involved in growth- and development- promoting processes and to increase transcription of genes involved in thiol homeostasis, during periods of extreme stress. Negatively affects competence and sporulation. Its degradation by the MecA/ClpXP complex is needed for competence development; Belongs to the ArsC family. Spx subfamily.
  
   0.826
sigA
RNA polymerase major sigma-43 factor (sigma-A); Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. This sigma factor is the primary sigma factor during exponential growth; Belongs to the sigma-70 factor family. RpoD/SigA subfamily.
