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

ylbJPutative factor required for spore cortex formation; Required for spore cortex formation. (408 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
yqfC
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function; PubMedId: 12662922.
 
  
 0.943
yqfD
Stage IV sporulation protein; Evidence 2a: Function of homologous gene experimentally demonstrated in an other organism; Product type cp: cell process.
 
  
 0.914
ytrH
Membrane protein involved in a sporulation process; Involved in sporulation. May contribute to cortex formation or stability.
  
  
 0.861
spoIIID
Transcriptional regulator; This protein regulates the transcription of sigK, which encodes mother cell chamber RNA polymerase sigma-factor (sigma K).
  
  
 0.861
spoIIGA
Protease processing pro-sigma-E; Probable aspartic protease that is responsible for the proteolytic cleavage of the RNA polymerase sigma E factor (SigE/spoIIGB) to yield the active peptide in the mother cell during sporulation. Responds to a signal from the forespore that is triggered by the extracellular signal protein SpoIIR. Belongs to the peptidase U4 family.
  
  
 0.853
yabP
Spore protein involved in the shaping of the spore coat; Required for sporulation.
 
  
 0.850
spoIIM
Autolysin component for dissolution of the septal cell wall (stage II sporulation); Required for complete septum migration and engulfment of the forespore compartment during sporulation. Required for stabilizing and recruiting of SpoIIP to the septal membrane.
  
  
 0.846
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.
  
  
 0.844
spoIIP
Spore autolysin (stage II sporulation); Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type cp: cell process.
  
  
 0.840
ytvI
Putative permease; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pt: putative transporter.
  
  
 0.840
