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

mciZCell division factor; Blocks Z-ring formation in the mother cell during sporulation by inhibiting the polymerization of FtsZ. Binds to the minus end of FtsZ and functions as a filament-capping protein. At high concentrations, is capable of both capping and sequestration of FtsZ. Decreases the GTPase activity of FtsZ. (40 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ftsZ
Cell-division initiation protein; Essential cell division protein that forms a contractile ring structure (Z ring) at the future cell division site. The regulation of the ring assembly controls the timing and the location of cell division. One of the functions of the FtsZ ring is to recruit other cell division proteins to the septum to produce a new cell wall between the dividing cells. Binds GTP and shows GTPase activity.
    
 
 0.997
minC
Cell-division regulator (septum placement); Cell division inhibitor that blocks the formation of polar Z ring septums. Rapidly oscillates between the poles of the cell to destabilize FtsZ filaments that have formed before they mature into polar Z rings. Prevents FtsZ polymerization. The MinCD complex plays an important role in asymmetric septum formation during sporulation of B.subtilis cells.
      
 0.753
ftsA
Cell-division protein essential fo Z-ring assembly; Cell division protein that is required for the assembly of the Z ring. May serve as a membrane anchor for the Z ring (By similarity). Binds and hydrolyzes ATP. Also involved in sporulation (Probable). Belongs to the FtsA/MreB family.
      
 0.709
yshA
Conserved hypothetical protein; Activator of cell division through the inhibition of FtsZ GTPase activity, therefore promoting FtsZ assembly into bundles of protofilaments necessary for the formation of the division Z ring. It is recruited early at mid-cell but it is not essential for cell division (By similarity); Belongs to the ZapA family. Type 2 subfamily.
      
 0.691
ugtP
UDP-glucose diacylglyceroltransferase; Processive glucosyltransferase involved in the biosynthesis of both the bilayer- and non-bilayer-forming membrane glucolipids. Is able to successively transfer up to three glucosyl residues to diacylglycerol (DAG), thereby catalyzing the formation of beta- monoglucosyl-DAG (3-O-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol), beta-diglucosyl-DAG (3-O-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl-beta-(1->6)-D- glucopyranosyl)-1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol) and beta-triglucosyl-DAG (3-O- (beta-D-glucopyranosyl-beta-(1->6)-D-glucopyranosyl-beta-(1->6)-D- glucopyranosyl)-1,2-diac [...]

yqkF
NADPH-dependent aldo-keto reductase; Evidence 2b: Function of strongly homologous gene; Product type e: enzyme; Belongs to the aldo/keto reductase family. Aldo/keto reductase 2 subfamily.
       0.586
fbpB
Regulator of iron homeostasis; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type r: regulator.
      
 0.572
ezrA
Negative regulator of FtsZ ring formation; Negative regulator of FtsZ ring formation; modulates the frequency and position of FtsZ ring formation. Inhibits FtsZ ring formation at polar sites. Interacts either with FtsZ or with one of its binding partners to promote depolymerization.
      
 0.564
yqxK
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function; To M.jannaschii MJ0043 N-terminal region.
       0.553
nudF
ADP-ribose pyrophosphatase; Acts on ADP-mannose and ADP-glucose as well as ADP-ribose. Prevents glycogen biosynthesis. The reaction catalyzed by this enzyme is a limiting step of the gluconeogenic process (By similarity).
