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

ylmCConserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function; PubMedId: 12429060. (81 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ytaF
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.
  
  
 0.952
ymxH
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function; Belongs to the YlmC/YmxH family.
  
  
 0.940
ylxY
Putative sugar deacetylase; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; putative enzyme; Belongs to the polysaccharide deacetylase family.
  
   
 0.930
ylzA
Conserved hypothetical protein; Regulates the biosynthesis of the extracellular matrix and the biofilm formation. Activates the transcription of the matrix biosynthesis operons eps and tapA-sipW- tasA. Also activates expression of the opuA operon, involved in osmoprotection. Acts by binding specifically to the promoter region of the target genes. Acts in parallel to the pathway that governs SinR derepression. Required for endosporulation.
      
 0.919
ytfJ
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function.
  
   
 0.896
yunB
Putative protein involved in spore formation; Required for sporulation.
  
   
 0.880
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.
 
   
 0.872
sigG
RNA polymerase sporulation-specific sigma factor (sigma-G); Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. This sigma factor is responsible for the expression of sporulation specific genes in the forespore.
 
   
 0.854
spoIIID
Transcriptional regulator; This protein regulates the transcription of sigK, which encodes mother cell chamber RNA polymerase sigma-factor (sigma K).
  
   
 0.848
sigE
RNA polymerase sporulation-specific sigma-29 factor (sigma-E); Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. This sigma factor is responsible for the expression of sporulation specific genes.
