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

sigZRNA polymerase ECF(extracytoplasmic function)-type sigma factor (sigma-Z); Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. (176 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
sigY
RNA polymerase ECF (extracytoplasmic function)-type sigma factor (sigma-Y); Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. Positively regulates the expression of the sigY-yxlCDEFG operon upon nitrogen starvation. Also positively regulates ybgB.
  
   
 0.973
sigV
RNA polymerase ECF(extracytoplasmic function)-type sigma factor (sigma(V)); Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. Positively regulates the expression of proteins involved in stress responses against bacitracin, paraquat and tellurite. Belongs to the sigma-70 factor family. ECF subfamily.
  
  
 0.963
sigX
RNA polymerase ECF(extracytoplasmic function)-type sigma factor sigma(X); Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. May be involved in the regulation of iron metabolism; Belongs to the sigma-70 factor family. ECF subfamily.
  
   
 0.931
yrpG
Putative oxidoreductase; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pe: putative enzyme; Belongs to the aldo/keto reductase family. Aldo/keto reductase 2 subfamily.
  
  
 0.751
yxlC
sigma-Y antisigma factor; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type r: regulator.
      
 0.708
ylaD
anti-YlaC sigma factor; Anti-sigma factor for YlaC; Belongs to the zinc-associated anti-sigma factor (ZAS) superfamily.
  
  
 0.590
rsiW
anti-sigma(W) factor; The anti-sigma factor for extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma factor sigma-W (SigW). Holds SigW, its cognate ECF sigma factor, in an inactive form until released by regulated intramembrane proteolysis (RIP). SigW and RsiW mediate cell response to cell wall stress. RIP occurs when an extracytoplasmic signal triggers a concerted proteolytic cascade to transmit information and elicit cellular responses. The membrane-spanning regulatory substrate protein is first cut periplasmically (site-1 protease, S1P, PrsW) , then within the membrane itself (site-2 protease, S2P [...]

rpoC
RNA polymerase (beta' subunit); DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates.
    
 
 0.582
ysmA
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function.
     
 0.580
rpoB
