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

ftsYSignal recognition particle (docking protein); Involved in targeting and insertion of nascent membrane proteins into the cytoplasmic membrane. Acts as a receptor for the complex formed by the signal recognition particle (SRP) and the ribosome-nascent chain (RNC). (329 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
secY
Preprotein translocase subunit; The central subunit of the protein translocation channel SecYEG. Consists of two halves formed by TMs 1-5 and 6-10. These two domains form a lateral gate at the front which open onto the bilayer between TMs 2 and 7, and are clamped together by SecE at the back. The channel is closed by both a pore ring composed of hydrophobic SecY resides and a short helix (helix 2A) on the extracellular side of the membrane which forms a plug. The plug probably moves laterally to allow the channel to open. The ring and the pore may move independently.

ffh
Signal recognition particle-like (SRP) GTPase; Involved in targeting and insertion of nascent membrane proteins into the cytoplasmic membrane. Binds to the hydrophobic signal sequence of the ribosome-nascent chain (RNC) as it emerges from the ribosomes. The SRP-RNC complex is then targeted to the cytoplasmic membrane where it interacts with the SRP receptor FtsY. Interaction with FtsY leads to the transfer of the RNC complex to the Sec translocase for insertion into the membrane, the hydrolysis of GTP by both Ffh and FtsY, and the dissociation of the SRP-FtsY complex into the individua [...]

secE
Preprotein translocase subunit; Essential subunit of the Sec protein translocation channel SecYEG. Clamps together the 2 halves of SecY. May contact the channel plug during translocation.
    
 0.995
secG
Preprotein translocase subunit; Involved in protein export. Participates in an early event of protein translocation (By similarity).
   
 0.995
secA
Translocase binding subunit (ATPase); Part of the Sec protein translocase complex. Interacts with the SecYEG preprotein conducting channel. Has a central role in coupling the hydrolysis of ATP to the transfer of proteins into and across the cell membrane, serving as an ATP-driven molecular motor driving the stepwise translocation of polypeptide chains across the membrane; Belongs to the SecA family.
     
 0.993
secDF
Protein-export membrane protein; Required for efficient translocation of secretory pre- proteins under conditions of hypersecretion but is not required for the release of mature proteins from the membrane. In the N-terminal section; belongs to the SecD/SecF family. SecD subfamily.
  
 
 0.992
yrbF
Component of the preprotein translocase; The SecYEG-SecDF-YajC-YidC holo-translocon (HTL) protein secretase/insertase is a supercomplex required for protein secretion, insertion of proteins into membranes, and assembly of membrane protein complexes. While the SecYEG complex is essential for assembly of a number of proteins and complexes, the SecDF-YajC-YidC subcomplex facilitates these functions.
  
 
 0.991
oxaAB
Sec-independent factor for membrane protein insertion (YidC/SpoIIIJ family); Required for the insertion and/or proper folding and/or complex formation of integral membrane proteins into the membrane. Involved in integration of membrane proteins that insert both dependently and independently of the Sec translocase complex, as well as at least some lipoproteins (By similarity). Also involved in protein secretion processes. It has an overlapping, although partly distinct, function compared to SpoIIIJ(MisCB).
   
 
 0.953
rnc
Ribonuclease III; Digests double-stranded RNA. Involved in the processing of ribosomal RNA transcript to yield the immediate precursors to the large and small rRNAs (23S and 16S). Also processes pre-scRNA (the precursor of the signal recognition particle RNA). Probably also processes some mRNAs, and tRNAs when they are encoded in the rRNA operon. Probably processes pre-crRNA and tracrRNA of type II CRISPR loci if present in the organism.

oxaAA
Sec-independent factor for membrane protein insertion (YidC/SpoIIIJ family); Required for the insertion and/or proper folding and/or complex formation of integral membrane proteins into the membrane. Involved in integration of membrane proteins that insert both dependently and independently of the Sec translocase complex, as well as at least some lipoproteins (By similarity). Also involved in protein secretion processes. Essential for sporulation by activating sigma factor SpoIIIG/SigG after engulfment is completed in the prespore, maybe by acting on SpoIIIAE. It has an overlapping, al [...]
