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

Score
furTranscriptional regulator for iron transport and metabolism; Iron uptake repressor. Acts on the transcription of ferri- siderophore uptake genes. (149 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
mntC
Manganese ABC transporter (permease); Probably part of the ABC transporter complex MntABCD involved in manganese import. Probably responsible for the translocation of the substrate across the membrane; Belongs to the ABC-3 integral membrane protein family.
  
  
 0.757
ripX
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.
  
  
 0.711
ylaN
Conserved hypothetical protein; Essential for cell growth and for normal cell shape.
  
    0.616
rpoA
RNA polymerase (alpha subunit); DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates.
   
   0.608
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.
   
  
 0.591
mutS
DNA mismatch repair recognition factor; This protein is involved in the repair of mismatches in DNA. It is possible that it carries out the mismatch recognition step. This protein has a weak ATPase activity (By similarity). Overexpression of mutSL partially suppresses the high spontaneous mutation frequency of a ytkD/mutM/mutY triple disruption which lacks the system required to prevent damage by oxidized guanine (8-oxo-dGTP). This suggests that MutSL also functions to repair mismatches due to oxidative stress in both growing and stationary phase cells.
     
 0.586
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.
       0.578
ahpC
Alkyl hydroperoxide reductase (small subunit); Thiol-specific peroxidase that catalyzes the reduction of hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxides to water and alcohols, respectively. Plays a role in cell protection against oxidative stress by detoxifying peroxides; Belongs to the peroxiredoxin family. AhpC/Prx1 subfamily.
  
  
 0.576
ycbR
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function.
      
 0.573
yqzK
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function.
       0.567
