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

yerD
Putative flavoenzyme; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pe: putative enzyme.
 
 0.995
pyrK
Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (electron transfer subunit); Responsible for channeling the electrons from the oxidation of dihydroorotate from the FMN redox center in the PyrD subunit to the ultimate electron acceptor NAD(+); Belongs to the PyrK family.

gudB
Cryptic glutamate dehydrogenase; GudB seems to be intrinsically inactive, however spontaneous mutations removing a 9-bp direct repeat within the wild-type gudB sequence activated the GudB protein and allowed more-efficient utilization of amino acids of the glutamate family. This insertion presumably causes severe destabilization of the fold of the protein, leading to an inactive enzyme that is very quickly degraded. The cryptic GudB serves as a buffer that may compensate for mutations in the rocG gene and that can also be decryptified for the utilization of glutamate as a single carbon [...]

glnA
Glutamine synthetase; Glutamine synthetase (GS) is an unusual multitasking protein that functions as an enzyme, a transcription coregulator, and a chaperone in ammonium assimilation and in the regulation of genes involved in nitrogen metabolism. It catalyzes the ATP-dependent biosynthesis of glutamine from glutamate and ammonia. Feedback-inhibited GlnA interacts with and regulates the activity of the transcriptional regulator TnrA. During nitrogen limitation, TnrA is in its DNA- binding active state and turns on the transcription of genes required for nitrogen assimilation. Under condi [...]

rocG
Glutamate dehydrogenase; Devoted to catabolic function of glutamate (and other amino acids of the glutamate family) utilization as sole nitrogen source. It is not involved in anabolic function of glutamate biosynthesis since B.subtilis possesses only one route of glutamate biosynthesis from ammonia, catalyzed by glutamate synthase. RocG is unable to utilize glutamate or glutamine as sole carbon source and to synthesize glutamate, but it is involved in the utilization of arginine, and proline as carbon or nitrogen source. The catabolic RocG is essential for controlling gltAB expression [...]

purF
Glutamine phosphoribosylpyrophosphate amidotransferase; Catalyzes the formation of phosphoribosylamine from phosphoribosylpyrophosphate (PRPP) and glutamine.
  
 
 0.924
carB
Arginine-specific carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase (large subunit); Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type e: enzyme; Belongs to the CarB family.
  
 
 0.924
nasC
Assimilatory nitrate reductase (catalytic subunit); Nitrate reductase is a key enzyme involved in the first step of nitrate assimilation in plants, fungi and bacteria.
    
 0.923
mtnU
Ketoglutaramate omega-amidase; May be involved in a regulatory step in the methylthioribose (MTR) recycling pathway; Belongs to the carbon-nitrogen hydrolase superfamily. NIT1/NIT2 family.
