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

sipSType I signal peptidase; Not essential for cell viability, but required for efficient secretion of many proteins. (184 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
lspA
Signal peptidase II; This protein specifically catalyzes the removal of signal peptides from prolipoproteins.
  
  
 0.946
rseP
Regulator of sigma-W protease RasP; Is responsible for site-2 cleavage of the RsiW anti-sigma factor. This results, after a third proteolytic step catalyzed by the ClpXP protease, in the release of SigW and the transcription activation of the genes under the control of the sigma-W factor. Can also cleave liberated signal peptides of PenP and Mpr, probably within in the cell membrane.
 
  
 0.890
secA
Translocase binding subunit (ATPase); Part of the Sec protein translocase complex. Interacts with the SecYEG preprotein conducting channel. Has a central role in coupling the hydrolysis of ATP to the transfer of proteins into and across the cell membrane, serving as an ATP-driven molecular motor driving the stepwise translocation of polypeptide chains across the membrane; Belongs to the SecA family.
  
  
 0.873
secDF
Protein-export membrane protein; Required for efficient translocation of secretory pre- proteins under conditions of hypersecretion but is not required for the release of mature proteins from the membrane. In the N-terminal section; belongs to the SecD/SecF family. SecD subfamily.
  
  
 0.805
secG
Preprotein translocase subunit; Involved in protein export. Participates in an early event of protein translocation (By similarity).
  
  
 0.779
secY
Preprotein translocase subunit; The central subunit of the protein translocation channel SecYEG. Consists of two halves formed by TMs 1-5 and 6-10. These two domains form a lateral gate at the front which open onto the bilayer between TMs 2 and 7, and are clamped together by SecE at the back. The channel is closed by both a pore ring composed of hydrophobic SecY resides and a short helix (helix 2A) on the extracellular side of the membrane which forms a plug. The plug probably moves laterally to allow the channel to open. The ring and the pore may move independently.

spsB
Putative dTDP glycosyl/glycerophosphate transferase; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pe: putative enzyme.
      
 0.745
yrbF
Component of the preprotein translocase; The SecYEG-SecDF-YajC-YidC holo-translocon (HTL) protein secretase/insertase is a supercomplex required for protein secretion, insertion of proteins into membranes, and assembly of membrane protein complexes. While the SecYEG complex is essential for assembly of a number of proteins and complexes, the SecDF-YajC-YidC subcomplex facilitates these functions.
  
  
 0.735
ypzD
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function; Belongs to the GerPA/GerPF family.
      
 0.684
sipW
Type I signal peptidase; Required for the cleavage of the signal sequence of TasA and TapA, which are involved in biofilm formation. Belongs to the peptidase S26B family.
