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

hbsNon-specific DNA-binding protein HBsu; Histone-like DNA-binding protein which is capable of wrapping DNA to stabilize it, and thus to prevent its denaturation under extreme environmental conditions. Binds evenly across chromosome, does not display a preference for AT content. (92 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
rpsT
Ribosomal protein S20 (BS20); Binds directly to 16S ribosomal RNA; Belongs to the bacterial ribosomal protein bS20 family.
  
  
 0.824
rpsO
Ribosomal protein S15 (BS18); One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds directly to 16S rRNA where it helps nucleate assembly of the platform of the 30S subunit by binding and bridging several RNA helices of the 16S rRNA.
  
  
 0.789
lrpC
Transcriptional regulator (Lrp/AsnC family); Transcriptional regulator with a possible role in regulation of amino acid metabolism. Plays a role in the growth phase transition.
   
  
 0.757
yfmK
Putative acetyltransferase; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pe: putative enzyme; Belongs to the acetyltransferase family.
   
  
 0.749
cspD
Cold-shock protein, molecular chaperone, RNA-helicase co-factor; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type f: factor.
  
 
 0.745
hfq
Hfq RNA chaperone; RNA chaperone that binds small regulatory RNA (sRNAs) and mRNAs to facilitate mRNA translational regulation in response to envelope stress, environmental stress and changes in metabolite concentrations. Also binds with high specificity to tRNAs. Belongs to the Hfq family.
   
  
 0.721
parB
Site-specific DNA-binding protein; Required for the initiation of sporulation and for normal chromosome segregation. Antagonizes sporulation inhibition by Soj. It probably interacts with a specific DNA site and other proteins involved in partitioning and cell division, and antagonizes Soj in response to cell cycle events related to chromosome partitioning.
   
  
 0.709
ydgE
Putative N-acetyltransferase; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pe: putative enzyme; Belongs to the acetyltransferase family.
      
 0.680
rpmF
Ribosomal protein L32; Evidence 2a: Function of homologous gene experimentally demonstrated in an other organism; Product type f: factor.
  
  
 0.680
acpA
Acyl carrier protein; Carrier of the growing fatty acid chain in fatty acid biosynthesis; Belongs to the acyl carrier protein (ACP) family.
   
  
 0.672
