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

mifMRegulator of OxaAB translation; Sensor protein that upregulates translation of the secondary membrane protein insertase (MisCB/YqjG) when activity of the primary membrane protein insertase (MisCA/SpoIIIJ) is limited. Acts as a ribosome-nascent chain complex. When the primary membrane protein insertase activity or level is reduced, the membrane insertion of MifM is impaired, which induces arrest of MifM translation and unfolding of the mRNA hairpin. Unfolding leads to translation of the downstream gene, which encodes the secondary membrane protein insertase MisCB/YqjG. Translation arres [...] (95 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
oxaAB
Sec-independent factor for membrane protein insertion (YidC/SpoIIIJ family); Required for the insertion and/or proper folding and/or complex formation of integral membrane proteins into the membrane. Involved in integration of membrane proteins that insert both dependently and independently of the Sec translocase complex, as well as at least some lipoproteins (By similarity). Also involved in protein secretion processes. It has an overlapping, although partly distinct, function compared to SpoIIIJ(MisCB).

oxaAA
Sec-independent factor for membrane protein insertion (YidC/SpoIIIJ family); Required for the insertion and/or proper folding and/or complex formation of integral membrane proteins into the membrane. Involved in integration of membrane proteins that insert both dependently and independently of the Sec translocase complex, as well as at least some lipoproteins (By similarity). Also involved in protein secretion processes. Essential for sporulation by activating sigma factor SpoIIIG/SigG after engulfment is completed in the prespore, maybe by acting on SpoIIIAE. It has an overlapping, al [...]

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.

yqkK
Hypothetical protein; Evidence 5: No homology to any previously reported sequences.
      
 0.849
prfB
Peptide chain release factor 2; Peptide chain release factor 2 directs the termination of translation in response to the peptide chain termination codons UGA and UAA.
   
  
 0.847
ffh
Signal recognition particle-like (SRP) GTPase; Involved in targeting and insertion of nascent membrane proteins into the cytoplasmic membrane. Binds to the hydrophobic signal sequence of the ribosome-nascent chain (RNC) as it emerges from the ribosomes. The SRP-RNC complex is then targeted to the cytoplasmic membrane where it interacts with the SRP receptor FtsY. Interaction with FtsY leads to the transfer of the RNC complex to the Sec translocase for insertion into the membrane, the hydrolysis of GTP by both Ffh and FtsY, and the dissociation of the SRP-FtsY complex into the individua [...]

rpmC
Ribosomal protein L29; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type s: structure.
    
 
 0.828
rplW
Ribosomal protein L23; One of the early assembly proteins it binds 23S rRNA. One of the proteins that surrounds the polypeptide exit tunnel on the outside of the ribosome. Forms the main docking site for trigger factor binding to the ribosome; Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL23 family.
    
 
 0.822
rplV
Ribosomal protein L22 (BL17); This protein binds specifically to 23S rRNA; its binding is stimulated by other ribosomal proteins, e.g. L4, L17, and L20. It is important during the early stages of 50S assembly. It makes multiple contacts with different domains of the 23S rRNA in the assembled 50S subunit and ribosome (By similarity).

rpsT
Ribosomal protein S20 (BS20); Binds directly to 16S ribosomal RNA; Belongs to the bacterial ribosomal protein bS20 family.
