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
ylbFPutative regulatory protein; Regulates sporulation prior to stage II. Positively controls the competence regulator ComK at a post-transcriptional level. May modulate the translation, stability or activity of ComS. May work together with YmcA to regulate community development. (149 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
yaaT
Conserved hypothetical protein; Essential for the phosphorelay during initiation of sporulation. May control the level of phosphorylated spo0A through spo0E activity during sporulation.
 
  
 0.999
ymcA
Master regulator for biofilm formation; May work together with YlbF to regulate community development.
  
 
 
 0.999
ylbG
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function.
 
    0.888
ylaN
Conserved hypothetical protein; Essential for cell growth and for normal cell shape.
 
    0.807
rny
Endoribonuclease Y; Endoribonuclease that initiates mRNA decay. Initiates the decay of all SAM-dependent riboswitches, such as yitJ riboswitch. Involved in processing of the gapA operon mRNA, it cleaves between cggR and gapA. Is also the decay-initiating endonuclease for rpsO mRNA. Belongs to the RNase Y family.
      
 0.757
ecsB
ABC transporter (membrane protein); Presumed to form part of an ABC-transporter, it may form a transport channel.
  
   
 0.742
comK
Competence transcription factor (CTF); A master regulator required for the expression of late competence genes including comC, comE, comG and the bdbDC operon. Receives signals from SrfA, and possibly other regulatory COM genes, and transduces these signals to the late COM genes. Represses transcription of rok. May repress expression of a few genes.
  
   
 0.689
ytpQ
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function; PubMedId: 12719520, 21949854; Belongs to the UPF0354 family.
  
    0.685
spo0A
Response regulator; May play the central regulatory role in sporulation. It may be an element of the effector pathway responsible for the activation of sporulation genes in response to nutritional stress. Spo0A may act in concert with Spo0H (a sigma factor) to control the expression of some genes that are critical to the sporulation process. Repressor of abrB, activator of the spoIIa operon. Binds the DNA sequence 5'-TGNCGAA-3' (0A box).
   
  
 0.682
cggR
Transcriptional regulator of gapA; In the absence of glucose, represses the transcription of the gapA operon, which encodes five key glycolytic enzymes. Binds specifically to the cggR-gapA promoter region and blocks the progression of the RNA polymerase, leading to the arrest of the transcription; Belongs to the SorC transcriptional regulatory family.
