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.

ypmPConserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function; PubMedId: 15060025. (83 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ilvA
Threonine dehydratase; Catalyzes the anaerobic formation of alpha-ketobutyrate and ammonia from threonine in a two-step reaction. The first step involved a dehydration of threonine and a production of enamine intermediates (aminocrotonate), which tautomerizes to its imine form (iminobutyrate). Both intermediates are unstable and short-lived. The second step is the nonenzymatic hydrolysis of the enamine/imine intermediates to form 2- ketobutyrate and free ammonia. In the low water environment of the cell, the second step is accelerated by RidA (By similarity).

scuA
Assembly factor BSco of the Cu(A) site of cytochrome c oxidase; Necessary for insertion of copper into the active site of cytochrome c oxidase. May play a role in copper homeostasis or redox signaling; Belongs to the SCO1/2 family.
  
    0.591
ilvE
Ketomethiobutyrate-branched-chain/aromatic amino acid aminotransferase; Transaminates branched-chain amino acids and ketoglutarate. Involved in the final step of the methionine regeneration pathway, where ketomethiobutyrate (KMTB) is converted to methionine via a transamination. The amino donor preference is isoleucine, leucine, valine, phenylalanine, and tyrosine; Belongs to the class-IV pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family.
   
  
 0.570
ilvD
Dihydroxy-acid dehydratase; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type e: enzyme; Belongs to the IlvD/Edd family.
   
  
 0.507
ilvC
Acetohydroxy-acid isomeroreductase; Involved in the biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA). Catalyzes an alkyl-migration followed by a ketol-acid reduction of (S)-2-acetolactate (S2AL) to yield (R)-2,3-dihydroxy-isovalerate. In the isomerase reaction, S2AL is rearranged via a Mg-dependent methyl migration to produce 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-ketobutyrate (HMKB). In the reductase reaction, this 2-ketoacid undergoes a metal-dependent reduction by NADPH to yield (R)-2,3-dihydroxy-isovalerate.

yplQ
Putative membrane hydrolase; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pe: putative enzyme.

ypmS
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function.
  
    0.417
ypmR
Putative exported lipase/acylhydrolase (lipoprotein); Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pe: putative enzyme.
