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

spoVSStage V sporulation protein S; Induced early in sporulation under the control of sigma-H. Interferes with sporulation at an early stage. Seems to play a positive role in allowing cells to progress beyond stage V of sporulation. (86 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
spoVR
Involved in spore cortex synthesis (stage V sporulation); Appears to be involved in spore cortex formation.
   
  
 0.788
spoVG
Regulator required for spore cortex synthesis (stage V sporulation); Essential for sporulation. Interferes with or is a negative regulator of the pathway leading to asymmetric septation. Belongs to the SpoVG family.
   
  
 0.754
miaB
Enzyme for ms(2)i(6)A formation for tRNA modification; Catalyzes the methylthiolation of N6-(dimethylallyl)adenosine (i(6)A), leading to the formation of 2-methylthio-N6- (dimethylallyl)adenosine (ms(2)i(6)A) at position 37 in tRNAs that read codons beginning with uridine.
      0.643
ymdB
Putative 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 [...]
  
    0.546
spoIVA
Morphogenetic stage IV sporulation protein; ATPase. Has a role at an early stage in the morphogenesis of the spore coat outer layers. Its ATP hydrolysis is required for proper assembly of the spore coat. Forms a basement layer around the outside surface of the forespore and self-assembles irreversibly into higher order structures by binding and hydrolyzing ATP thus creating a durable and stable platform upon which thereafter morphogenesis of the coat can take place. Required for proper localization of spore coat protein CotE and sporulation-specific proteins including SpoVM.
  
  
 0.511
spo0A
Response regulator; May play the central regulatory role in sporulation. It may be an element of the effector pathway responsible for the activation of sporulation genes in response to nutritional stress. Spo0A may act in concert with Spo0H (a sigma factor) to control the expression of some genes that are critical to the sporulation process. Repressor of abrB, activator of the spoIIa operon. Binds the DNA sequence 5'-TGNCGAA-3' (0A box).
   
  
 0.510
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.
     
 0.499
spoVAD
Stage V sporulation protein AD; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type cp: cell process.
  
   
 0.496
cotS
Spore coat protein; Seems to be required for the assembly of the CotSA protein in spores.
      
 0.483
spoIIID
Transcriptional regulator; This protein regulates the transcription of sigK, which encodes mother cell chamber RNA polymerase sigma-factor (sigma K).
