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

ymdBPutative hydrolase involved in biofilm formation; Plays a central, regulatory role in the late adaptive responses and affects the levels of many genes. May act via regulation of cAMP levels. Decreases the expression of motility genes and induces genes involved in biofilm formation, by controlling the expression of SlrR. Required for formation of intercellular nanotubes that bridge neighboring cells to allow molecular exchange. Plays a key role in directing the early stages of colony development. In vitro, has a metal-dependent phosphodiesterase activity against 2',3'-cAMP and 2',3'-cGM [...] (264 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
rny
Endoribonuclease Y; Endoribonuclease that initiates mRNA decay. Initiates the decay of all SAM-dependent riboswitches, such as yitJ riboswitch. Involved in processing of the gapA operon mRNA, it cleaves between cggR and gapA. Is also the decay-initiating endonuclease for rpsO mRNA. Belongs to the RNase Y family.
  
  
 0.918
yuxH
Putative phosphodiesterase; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; putative enzyme.
      
 0.900
yjbK
Putative RNA/thiamine triphosphatase; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pe: putative enzyme.
      
 0.889
slrR
Transcriptional regulator of autolysin genes; Represses sigma(D)-dependent flagellar genes and activate the eps and yqxM operons. Repressor activity is regulated by SlrA. Controls the initiation of biofilm formation.
      
 0.850
sinR
Master regulator of biofilm formation; Negative as well as positive regulator of alternate developmental processes that are induced at the end of vegetative growth in response to nutrient depletion. Binds to the alkaline protease (aprE) gene at two sites. Also acts as a repressor of the key sporulation gene spo0A. Negatively regulates transcription of the eps operon, which is responsible for the biosynthesis of an exopolysaccharide involved in biofilm formation; therefore it could govern the transition between a state in which bacteria swim or swarm and a state in which bacteria assemb [...]
      
 0.769
sinI
Antagonist of SinR; Acts as an antagonist to SinR. SinI prevents SinR from binding to its target sequence on the gene for AprE.
      
 0.750
folD
Methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase; Catalyzes the oxidation of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate to 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate and then the hydrolysis of 5,10- methenyltetrahydrofolate to 10-formyltetrahydrofolate.
 
    0.732
yjdB
Putative exported protein; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type h: extrachromosomal origin.
      
 0.686
tapA
Lipoprotein for biofilm formation; Required for biofilm formation. Required for the proper anchoring and polymerization of TasA amyloid fibers at the cell surface. Is also a minor component of TasA fibers.
      
 0.680
hag
Flagellin protein; Flagellin is the subunit which polymerizes to form the filaments of bacterial flagella. Assembly into flagella requires FliW. Acts as a homeostatic autoinhibitory regulator to control its own cytoplasmic levels. Partner switching by flagellin between FliW and CsrA provides a flagellar assembly checkpoint to tightly control the timing of flagellin synthesis. Flagellin binds to assembly factor FliW, freeing translation regulator CsrA to repress translation of the flagellin mRNA. When the flagellar hook is assembled flagellin is secreted, depleting intracellular flagell [...]
