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.

ysxESpore coat protein; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type cp: cell process. (341 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
spoVID
Morphogenetic spore protein (stage VI sporulation); Required for assembly of a normal spore coat. May be a component of the innermost layer of the spore coat that aids in its adherence to the prespore.
 
  
 0.991
yutH
Spore coat-associated protein; Involved in sporulation; Belongs to the CotS family.
  
  
 0.926
cotJA
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.
  
  
 0.895
cotE
Morphogenic spore protein; Morphogenic protein required for the assembly of the outer coat of the endospore. Is also a regulatory protein for the expression of cotA, cotB, cotC, cotH and other genes encoding spore outer coat proteins.
  
  
 0.877
gerM
Germination (cortex hydrolysis) and sporulation (stage II, multiple polar septa) lytic enzyme; Unknown. Affects both sporulation and germination.
  
    0.852
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.
   
  
 0.821
ylbD
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function.
  
  
 0.805
cotI
Spore coat kinase; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type e: enzyme.
  
  
 0.805
spoIVFA
Regulator of SpoIVFB (stage IV sporulation); Implicated in the coupling of mother cell to forespore gene expression. Required for spore formation at 37 degrees Celsius, but not at 30 degrees Celsius. SpoIVFA plays a central role in both maintaining the SpoIVFA/BofA/SpoIVFB complex and anchoring it to the outer forespore membrane. SpoIVFA brings BofA into close proximity to SpoIVFB, allowing BofA to inhibit SpoIVFB. Increased accumulation of SpoIVFA seems to inhibit the activity of SpoIVFB and thus regulates the activation of sigma-K.
  
    0.787
yheC
Spore coat associated protein, similar to YheD; Involved in sporulation; Belongs to the YheC/YheD family.
  
  
 0.778
