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

spmBSpore maturation protein; Involved in spore core dehydration; might be involved in the transport of something into or out of the forespore or could be required for some modification of the cortex peptidoglycan structure; Belongs to the SpmB family. (178 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
spmA
Spore maturation protein; Involved in spore core dehydration; might be involved in the transport of something into or out of the forespore or could be required for some modification of the cortex peptidoglycan structure.
  
 0.999
dacB
D-alanyl-D-alanine carboxypeptidase (penicillin-binding protein 5*); Removes C-terminal D-alanyl residues from sugar-peptide cell wall precursors. Required specifically for the synthesis of the spore form of peptidoglycan (cortex).
  
  
 0.950
ylbJ
Putative factor required for spore cortex formation; Required for spore cortex formation.
 
  
 0.814
spoIIM
Autolysin component for dissolution of the septal cell wall (stage II sporulation); Required for complete septum migration and engulfment of the forespore compartment during sporulation. Required for stabilizing and recruiting of SpoIIP to the septal membrane.
  
  
 0.780
yqfC
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function; PubMedId: 12662922.
  
  
 0.779
spoIVFB
Membrane metalloprotease; Implicated in the coupling of mother cell to forespore gene expression. Required for spore formation. Processes the pro-sigma K factor.
  
  
 0.759
spoIIIAA
ATP-binding stage III sporulation protein; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type cp: cell process.
  
  
 0.748
tlp
Small acid-soluble spore protein (thioredoxin-like protein); Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type f: factor; Belongs to the Tlp family.
   
  
 0.742
spoVFA
Spore dipicolinate synthase subunit A; Together with DpaB, catalyzes the conversion of dihydrodipicolinate to dipicolinate (DPA), which constitutes up to 10% of the dry weight of the spore.
   
  
 0.691
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.
