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

tasAMajor biofilm matrix component; TasA is the major protein component of the biofilm extracellular matrix. It forms amyloid fibers that bind cells together in the biofilm. Exhibits an antibacterial activity against a variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. In laboratory strains, is also involved in proper spore coat assembly. (261 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
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.
  
  
 0.981
tapA
Lipoprotein for biofilm formation; Required for biofilm formation. Required for the proper anchoring and polymerization of TasA amyloid fibers at the cell surface. Is also a minor component of TasA fibers.
  
  
 0.926
epsA
Modulator of protein tyrosine kinase EpsB; Evidence 2b: Function of strongly homologous gene; regulator.
   
    0.730
coxA

    0.643
epsE
Bifunctional flagellar clutch and glycosyltransferase; May be involved in the production of the exopolysaccharide (EPS) component of the extracellular matrix during biofilm formation. EPS is responsible for the adhesion of chains of cells into bundles. Required for biofilm maintenance; Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 2 family.
   
    0.641
motA
Motility protein A; MotA and MotB comprise the stator element of the flagellar motor complex. Required for rotation of the flagellar motor. Probable transmembrane proton channel (By similarity).
   
  
 0.633
epsD
Putative extracellular matrix biosynthesis enzyme; May be involved in the production of the exopolysaccharide (EPS) component of the extracellular matrix during biofilm formation. EPS is responsible for the adhesion of chains of cells into bundles. Required for biofilm maintenance; Belongs to the glycosyltransferase group 1 family. Glycosyltransferase 4 subfamily.
