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

rsePRegulator of sigma-W protease RasP; Is responsible for site-2 cleavage of the RsiW anti-sigma factor. This results, after a third proteolytic step catalyzed by the ClpXP protease, in the release of SigW and the transcription activation of the genes under the control of the sigma-W factor. Can also cleave liberated signal peptides of PenP and Mpr, probably within in the cell membrane. (422 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
rsiW
anti-sigma(W) factor; The anti-sigma factor for extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma factor sigma-W (SigW). Holds SigW, its cognate ECF sigma factor, in an inactive form until released by regulated intramembrane proteolysis (RIP). SigW and RsiW mediate cell response to cell wall stress. RIP occurs when an extracytoplasmic signal triggers a concerted proteolytic cascade to transmit information and elicit cellular responses. The membrane-spanning regulatory substrate protein is first cut periplasmically (site-1 protease, S1P, PrsW) , then within the membrane itself (site-2 protease, S2P [...]

dxr
1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate reductoisomerase; Catalyzes the NADP-dependent rearrangement and reduction of 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate (DXP) to 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4- phosphate (MEP); Belongs to the DXR family.

uppS
Undecaprenyl pyrophosphate synthase; Catalyzes the condensation of isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) with allylic pyrophosphates generating different type of terpenoids.

prsW
Protease required for RsiW anti-sigma(W) degradation; Involved in the degradation of anti-sigma-W factor RsiW. Responsible for Site-1 cleavage of the RsiW anti-sigma factor. This results, after two other proteolytic steps catalyzed by the RasP and ClpXP proteases, in the release of SigW and the transcription activation of the genes under the control of the sigma-W factor. Seems to be responsible for sensing antimicrobial peptides that damage the cell membrane and other agents that cause cell envelope stress. Therefore it is a protease governing regulated intramembrane proteolysis and r [...]

ecsA
ABC transporter (ATP-binding protein); Has a role in exoprotein production, sporulation and competence.

sipS
Type I signal peptidase; Not essential for cell viability, but required for efficient secretion of many proteins.

htpX
Membrane protease; Evidence 2a: Function of homologous gene experimentally demonstrated in an other organism; Product type e: enzyme; Belongs to the peptidase M48B family.

cdsA
Phosphatidate cytidylyltransferase (CDP-diglyceride synthase); Evidence 2a: Function of homologous gene experimentally demonstrated in an other organism; enzyme.
  
    0.855
proS
prolyl-tRNA synthetase; Catalyzes the attachment of proline to tRNA(Pro) in a two- step reaction: proline is first activated by ATP to form Pro-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of tRNA(Pro). As ProRS can inadvertently accommodate and process non-cognate amino acids such as alanine and cysteine, to avoid such errors it has two additional distinct editing activities against alanine. One activity is designated as 'pretransfer' editing and involves the tRNA(Pro)-independent hydrolysis of activated Ala-AMP. The other activity is designated 'posttransfer' editing and involves dea [...]

sipT
Type I signal peptidase; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type e: enzyme; Belongs to the peptidase S26 family.
