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

coxASpore cortex protein; Evidence 2a: Function of homologous gene experimentally demonstrated in an other organism; Product type f: factor. (198 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
safA
Morphogenetic protein associated with SpoVID; Probably involved in the assembly of some coat protein components implicated in both lysozyme resistance and germination. Could be required for the assembly of CotG. Associates with SpoIVD during the early stage of coat assembly.
  
    0.820
spsK
Putative dTDP-4-dehydrorhamnose reductase; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pe: putative enzyme.
   
  
 0.756
tasA
Major 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.
      
 0.705
nadA
Quinolinate synthetase; Catalyzes the condensation of iminoaspartate with dihydroxyacetone phosphate to form quinolinate.
  
    0.698
spsI
Glucose-1-phosphate thymidylyltransferase; Catalyzes the formation of dTDP-glucose, from dTTP and glucose 1-phosphate, as well as its pyrophosphorolysis. Belongs to the glucose-1-phosphate thymidylyltransferase family.
   
  
 0.687
gerQ
Inner spore coat protein; Essential for the localization of CwlJ in the spore coat and for spore germination triggered by calcium and dipicolinic acid (DPA). Its assembly into the spore coat is dependent on the coat morphogenetic proteins CotE and SpoIVA.
   
  
 0.589
cotJC
Component of the inner spore coat; The cotJ operon proteins affect spore coat composition. They are either required for the normal formation of the inner layers of the coat or are themselves structural components of the coat.
   
  
 0.545
yrbC
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function.
       0.543
cotY
Outer spore coat protein (insoluble fraction); Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type cp: cell process.
   
  
 0.523
cotF
Spore coat protein; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type s: structure.
   
  
 0.455
