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

Score
rdgBInosine/xanthosine triphosphate pyrophosphatase (subunit A); Pyrophosphatase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of nucleoside triphosphates to their monophosphate derivatives, with a high preference for the non-canonical purine nucleotides XTP (xanthosine triphosphate), dITP (deoxyinosine triphosphate) and ITP. Seems to function as a house-cleaning enzyme that removes non-canonical purine nucleotides from the nucleotide pool, thus preventing their incorporation into DNA/RNA and avoiding chromosomal lesions. Belongs to the HAM1 NTPase family. (198 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ysnB
Phosphoesterase; Evidence 2b: Function of strongly homologous gene; Product type e: enzyme; Belongs to the metallophosphoesterase superfamily. YfcE family.
 
  
 0.996
rph
Ribonuclease PH; Phosphorolytic 3'-5' exoribonuclease that plays an important role in tRNA 3'-end maturation. Removes nucleotide residues following the 3'-CCA terminus of tRNAs; can also add nucleotides to the ends of RNA molecules by using nucleoside diphosphates as substrates, but this may not be physiologically important. Probably plays a role in initiation of 16S rRNA degradation (leading to ribosome degradation) during starvation. Plays a role in the secondary pathway of 23S rRNA 3' end maturation.
 
  
 0.993
guaA
GMP synthetase; Catalyzes the synthesis of GMP from XMP.
 
 
 0.971
racE
Glutamate racemase; Provides the (R)-glutamate required for cell wall biosynthesis.
 
    0.943
guaB
Inosine-monophosphate dehydrogenase; Catalyzes the conversion of inosine 5'-phosphate (IMP) to xanthosine 5'-phosphate (XMP), the first committed and rate-limiting step in the de novo synthesis of guanine nucleotides, and therefore plays an important role in the regulation of cell growth.
  
 0.938
ndk
Nucleoside diphosphate kinase; Major role in the synthesis of nucleoside triphosphates other than ATP. The ATP gamma phosphate is transferred to the NDP beta phosphate via a ping-pong mechanism, using a phosphorylated active-site intermediate; Belongs to the NDK family.
  
 0.938
xpt
Xanthine phosphoribosyltransferase; Converts the preformed base xanthine, a product of nucleic acid breakdown, to xanthosine 5'-monophosphate (XMP), so that it can be reused for RNA or DNA synthesis; Belongs to the purine/pyrimidine phosphoribosyltransferase family. Xpt subfamily.
   
 0.920
hprT
Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase; Evidence 2a: Function of homologous gene experimentally demonstrated in an other organism; Product type e: enzyme.
  
 
 0.919
yfkN
Exported 2',3'-cyclic-nucleotide 2'-phosphodiesterase, 2' (or 3') nucleotidase and 5' nucleotidase; Catalyzes the release of inorganic phosphate from 2',3'- cyclic nucleotides through consecutive 2',3'-phosphodiesterase and 3'- (or 2') nucleotidase activities. Also possesses a 5'-nucleotidase activity. Does not catalyze the release of inorganic phosphate from 3',5'-cyclic nucleotides. Probably plays a role in the cellular reprocessing of nucleotides present in the medium, under conditions of phosphate shortage.
  
 
  0.902
yrpC
Glutamate racemase; Provides the (R)-glutamate required for cell wall biosynthesis.
