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.

sigXRNA polymerase ECF(extracytoplasmic function)-type sigma factor sigma(X); Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. May be involved in the regulation of iron metabolism; Belongs to the sigma-70 factor family. ECF subfamily. (194 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
rsiX
Negative regulator of sigma(X) activity; The anti-sigma factor for extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma factor SigX, inhibits SigX activity and stabilizes it.
 
 
 0.998
sigZ
RNA polymerase ECF(extracytoplasmic function)-type sigma factor (sigma-Z); Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released.
  
   
 0.928
comS
Regulator of genetic competence; Required for the development of competence.
   
  
 0.880
pnpA
Polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase); Involved in mRNA degradation. Catalyzes the phosphorolysis of single-stranded polyribonucleotides processively in the 3'- to 5'- direction. Necessary for competence development in Bacillus subtilis. May be necessary for modification of the srfA transcript (stabilization or translation activation).
   
  
 0.793
comX
Competence pheromone precursor (pheromone peptide aa 46->55, geranyl-modified); Part of a major quorum-sensing system that regulates the development of genetic competence. Acts through the activation of the two-component regulatory system ComP/ComA composed of a sensor histidine kinase, ComP, and a response regulator, ComA, that regulates directly the transcription of over 20 genes. Transport through the membrane may involve Spo0K. Under certain conditions plays a role in sporulation.
      
 0.770
sigH
RNA polymerase sigma-30 factor (sigma(H)); Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. This sigma factor is involved in the transition to post- exponential phase in the beginning of sporulation. It is also required for transcription of several stationary phase genes.
  
  
 0.762
rpoB
RNA polymerase (beta subunit); DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates.
    
 
 0.728
abh
Transcriptional regulator; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type r: regulator; To B.subtilis AbrB and SpoVT.
   
  
 0.726
rpoC
RNA polymerase (beta' subunit); DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates.
    
 
 0.660
rsiW
anti-sigma(W) factor; The anti-sigma factor for extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma factor sigma-W (SigW). Holds SigW, its cognate ECF sigma factor, in an inactive form until released by regulated intramembrane proteolysis (RIP). SigW and RsiW mediate cell response to cell wall stress. RIP occurs when an extracytoplasmic signal triggers a concerted proteolytic cascade to transmit information and elicit cellular responses. The membrane-spanning regulatory substrate protein is first cut periplasmically (site-1 protease, S1P, PrsW) , then within the membrane itself (site-2 protease, S2P [...]
