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

Score
tepAProtein export-enhancing factor; Required for efficient translocation of pre-proteins across the membrane; Belongs to the peptidase S14 family. TepA subfamily. (245 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ylzJ
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function.
  
  
 0.986
clpX
Protein unfolding ATPase required for presentation of proteins to proteases; ATP-dependent specificity component of the Clp protease. It directs the protease to specific substrates. Can perform chaperone functions in the absence of ClpP (By similarity). Probably the major protease that degrades proteins tagged by trans-translation.

yyaC
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function.
  
  
 0.917
clpC
Class III stress response-related ATPase, AAA+ superfamily; Competence gene repressor; required for cell growth at high temperature. Negative regulator of comK expression. May interact with MecA to negatively regulate comK; Belongs to the ClpA/ClpB family. ClpC subfamily.
  
 
 0.884
spoVT
Transcriptional regulator; Transcriptional factor that regulates positively or negatively the expression of a large number of forespore-specific sigma G-dependent genes. May provide a mechanism of feedback control that is important for forespore development. SpoVT levels during spore formation have a major impact on the germination and the resistance of the resultant spores. To B.subtilis AbrB and Abh.
  
  
 0.862
clpE
ATP-dependent Clp protease (class III stress gene); ATPase essential both for efficient CtsR-dependent gene derepression during heat stress and for rerepression. Together with ClpP, degrades the global regulator CtsR after heat shock. Is also involved in disaggregation of heat-denatured proteins. Has thus a role in overall protein quality control in response to heat stress.
  
 
 0.860
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.

ylmC
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function; PubMedId: 12429060.
 
     0.770
spoIIIAA
ATP-binding stage III sporulation protein; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type cp: cell process.
  
    0.768
hrcA
Transcriptional regulator of heat-shock genes; Negative regulator of class I heat shock genes (grpE-dnaK- dnaJ and groELS operons). Prevents heat-shock induction of these operons.
