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

ripXSite-specific tyrosine recombinase for chromosome partitioning; Site-specific tyrosine recombinase, which acts by catalyzing the cutting and rejoining of the recombining DNA molecules. The XerC- XerD complex is essential to convert dimers of the bacterial chromosome into monomers to permit their segregation at cell division. It also contributes to the segregational stability of plasmids. (296 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
spoIIIE
Spore DNA translocase; Plays an essential role during sporulation. Required for the translocation of the chromosomal DNA from mother cell into the forespore during polar septation, for the final steps of compartmentalization in the presence of trapped DNA, and for the final steps of engulfment. The N-terminus mediates localization to the division septum and is required for both septal membrane fusion and engulfment membrane fusion. May form DNA-conducting channels across the two lipid bilayers of the septum after cell division. The C-terminus functions as a DNA motor that exports DNA i [...]

sftA
DNA translocase; Required for the accurate completion of chromosome partitioning, in part by promoting efficient resolution of chromosome dimers, before the formation of the division septum. Binds to DNA in a non-specific manner. Shows ATPase activity. Not required for cytokinesis.
  
  
 0.962
rtp
Replication terminator protein; Plays a role in DNA replication and termination (fork arrest mechanism). Two dimers of rtp bind to the two inverted repeat regions (IRI and IRII) present in the termination site. The binding of each dimer is centered on an 8 bp direct repeat.

yqzK
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function.
       0.803
fur
Transcriptional regulator for iron transport and metabolism; Iron uptake repressor. Acts on the transcription of ferri- siderophore uptake genes.
  
  
 0.711
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.
  
  
 0.690
recU
Holliday junction resolvase; Has at least 2 separable functions; Holliday junction resolution with generation of monomeric chromosomes, and modulation of RecA activity. Endonuclease that resolves Holliday junction intermediates in genetic recombination. Cleaves mobile four-strand junctions by introducing symmetrical nicks in paired strands. Promotes annealing of linear ssDNA with homologous dsDNA. Required for DNA repair, homologous recombination and chromosome segregation. Partially inhibits the hydrolysis of dATP or rATP by RecA. Holliday junction resolution is stimulated by RuvB.
  
  
 0.637
drm
Phosphopentomutase; Phosphotransfer between the C1 and C5 carbon atoms of pentose; Belongs to the phosphopentomutase family.
  
    0.603
codV
Site-specific tyrosine recombinase for chromosome partitioning; Site-specific tyrosine recombinase, which acts by catalyzing the cutting and rejoining of the recombining DNA molecules. The XerC- XerD complex is essential to convert dimers of the bacterial chromosome into monomers to permit their segregation at cell division. It also contributes to the segregational stability of plasmids.

recA
Multifunctional SOS repair factor; Multifunctional protein involved in homologous recombination, DNA repair and competence. Can catalyze the hydrolysis of (d)ATP in the presence of single-stranded DNA; prefers dATP at least in vitro, catalyzes the dATP-dependent uptake of single- stranded DNA by duplex DNA, and the dATP-dependent hybridization of homologous single-stranded DNAs (strand exchange). RecA-ATP cannot catalyze homologous DNA strand exchange; SsbA and DprA activate strand exchange by RecA-ATP. It interacts with LexA causing its activation and leading to its autocatalytic clea [...]
