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

cymRTranscriptional regulator of cysteine biosynthesis; Master repressor of cysteine metabolism in B.subtilis. Controls the expression of genes involved either in cysteine synthesis from sulfide (cysK), sulfonates (ssu), or methionine (mccAB) or in cystine uptake (tcyP). Activity of CymR is positively regulated by CysK in response to cysteine availability. When cysteine is present, the pool of O-acetylserine (OAS) is low, which leads to the formation of a CymR-CysK complex and transcriptional repression of the CymR regulon occurs. In the absence of cysteine, the OAS pool is high and the Cy [...] (138 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
cysK
Cysteine synthase; Catalyzes the conversion of O-acetylserine to cysteine. Also acts as a sensor of cysteine availability in the signal transduction pathway modulating CymR activity. When cysteine is present, the pool of O-acetylserine (OAS) is low, which leads to the formation of a CymR- CysK complex and transcriptional repression of the CymR regulon occurs. In the absence of cysteine, the OAS pool is high and the CymR-CysK complex is mostly dissociated, leading to a faster dissociation of CymR from its DNA targets and the lifting of CymR-dependent repression.

iscSA
Cysteine desulfurase involved in tRNA thiolation; Catalyzes the removal of elemental sulfur from cysteine to produce alanine.
  
  
 0.912
yrrT
Putative AdoMet-dependent methyltransferase; Could be a S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent methyltransferase; Belongs to the methyltransferase superfamily. YrrT family.
    
 
 0.777
perR
Transcriptional regulator (Fur family); Hydrogen and organic peroxide sensor. Represses the expression of a regulon of peroxide-inducible genes such as katA, ahpC, ahpF, the heme biosynthesis operon (hemAXCDBL), fur, perR, zosA and mrgA; Belongs to the Fur family.
     
 0.773
cysL
Regulator of sulfur assimilation CysL, activates cysJI expression; Transcriptional activator of the cysJI operon which is involved in sulfur assimilation. Also negatively regulates its own transcription.
      
 0.752
mccB
Cystathionine gamma-lyase and homocysteine gamma-lyase for reverse transsulfuration pathway; Catalyzes the conversion of cystathionine to cysteine, and homocysteine to sulfide.
     
 0.751
mnmA
tRNA 2-thiouridylase; Catalyzes the 2-thiolation of uridine at the wobble position (U34) of tRNA, leading to the formation of s(2)U34.
  
  
 0.709
tcyP
Sodium-cystine symporter; Mediates uptake of L-cystine, the oxidized form of L- cysteine. Although it is more specific for L-cystine, it could also transport a much broader range of amino acids and sulfur compounds including S-methylcysteine; Belongs to the dicarboxylate/amino acid:cation symporter (DAACS) (TC 2.A.23) family.
      
 0.681
ctsR
Transcriptional regulator; Controls the expression of the cellular protein quality control genes clpC, clpE and clpP, as well as mcsA and mcsB. Acts as a repressor of these class III stress genes by binding to a directly repeated heptanucleotide operator sequence (A/GGTCAAA NAN A/GGTCAAA). After heat shock, CtsR is degraded by the ClpCP and ClpEP proteolytic systems, ensuring the derepression of clpE, clpP and the clpC operon. CtsR negatively autoregulates its own synthesis.
      
 0.680
arxR
Transcriptional repressor; Negatively regulates yodC and azoR1 which may contribute to the degradation of aromatic compounds. Probably positively regulates the catechol-specific transcription of mhqNOP, mhqED, and mhqA.
