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

ylaKPutative phosphate starvation inducible protein; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; putative factor; In the C-terminal section; belongs to the PhoH family. (442 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
prkA
Serine protein kinase; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type e: enzyme; Belongs to the PrkA family.
   
  
 0.711
yhbH
Factor involved in shape determination (sporulation); Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type f: factor.
   
    0.660
spoVR
Involved in spore cortex synthesis (stage V sporulation); Appears to be involved in spore cortex formation.
   
    0.651
glsB
Glutaminase; Evidence 2b: Function of strongly homologous gene; Product type e: enzyme.
   
    0.618
ylaJ
Putative lipoprotein; Probably contributes, directly or indirectly, to early events in germination.
  
    0.598
ysxE
Spore coat protein; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type cp: cell process.
  
    0.592
spoIVA
Morphogenetic stage IV sporulation protein; ATPase. Has a role at an early stage in the morphogenesis of the spore coat outer layers. Its ATP hydrolysis is required for proper assembly of the spore coat. Forms a basement layer around the outside surface of the forespore and self-assembles irreversibly into higher order structures by binding and hydrolyzing ATP thus creating a durable and stable platform upon which thereafter morphogenesis of the coat can take place. Required for proper localization of spore coat protein CotE and sporulation-specific proteins including SpoVM.
   
  
 0.587
gerR
DNA-binding regulator; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type r: regulator.
   
    0.583
spoIVFA
Regulator of SpoIVFB (stage IV sporulation); Implicated in the coupling of mother cell to forespore gene expression. Required for spore formation at 37 degrees Celsius, but not at 30 degrees Celsius. SpoIVFA plays a central role in both maintaining the SpoIVFA/BofA/SpoIVFB complex and anchoring it to the outer forespore membrane. SpoIVFA brings BofA into close proximity to SpoIVFB, allowing BofA to inhibit SpoIVFB. Increased accumulation of SpoIVFA seems to inhibit the activity of SpoIVFB and thus regulates the activation of sigma-K.
  
    0.576
glgC
Glucose-1-phosphate adenylyltransferase (ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase) subunit alpha; Involved in the biosynthesis of ADP-glucose, a building block required for the elongation reactions to produce glycogen. Catalyzes the reaction between ATP and alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate (G1P) to produce pyrophosphate and ADP-Glc.
