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

spoVFASpore dipicolinate synthase subunit A; Together with DpaB, catalyzes the conversion of dihydrodipicolinate to dipicolinate (DPA), which constitutes up to 10% of the dry weight of the spore. (297 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
spoVFB
Spore dipicolinate synthase subunit B; Together with DpaA, catalyzes the conversion of dihydrodipicolinate to dipicolinate (DPA), which constitutes up to 10% of the dry weight of the spore.

spoVIF
Sporulation-specific protein needed for heat resistance; Transcription factor involved in spore coat assembly and spore resistance. Regulates the transcription of at least cgeA, cotG and cotS.
  
    0.787
yqfQ
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function.
  
    0.782
spoVAC
Stage V sporulation protein AC; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type cp: cell process.
  
  
 0.773
ylbJ
Putative factor required for spore cortex formation; Required for spore cortex formation.
  
   
 0.767
etfA
Electron transfer flavoprotein (alpha subunit); The electron transfer flavoprotein serves as a specific electron acceptor for other dehydrogenases. It transfers the electrons to the main respiratory chain via ETF-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (ETF dehydrogenase) (By similarity).
      
 0.755
spoIVB
Regulatory membrane-associated serine protease; Plays a central role in the sigma-K checkpoint which coordinates gene expression during the later stages of spore formation. The protease is activated by trans cleavage of the zymogen precursor producing SpoIVB-45 kDa. This undergoes further trimming by cis cleavage to form SpoIVB-43 kDa and SpoIVB-42 kDa. The protease then cleaves the C-terminus of the SpoIVFA metalloprotease activating the latter.
  
  
 0.753
cotX
Spore coat protein (insoluble fraction); Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type cp: cell process.
   
  
 0.744
spoVAF
Stage V sporulation protein AF; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type cp: cell process.
  
  
 0.739
cotB
Spore coat protein (outer); Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type s: structure.
