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

cstACarbon starvation-induced membrane protein; Involved in peptide utilization. Belongs to the peptide transporter carbon starvation (CstA) (TC 2.A.114) family. (598 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
csrA
Carbon storage regulator; A translational regulator that binds mRNA to regulate translation initiation and/or mRNA stability. Usually binds in the 5'- UTR at or near the Shine-Dalgarno sequence preventing ribosome-binding, thus repressing translation. Represses expression of flagellin (hag) in a post-transcriptional fashion. Specifically binds to 2 sites in the 5'-UTR of hag mRNA in a cooperative fashion; the second site overlaps the Shine-Dalgarno sequence and prevents 30S ribosomal subunit binding. Mutation of either binding site abolishes CsrA regulation of hag expression. Repressio [...]

ysfE
Hypothetical protein; Evidence 5: No homology to any previously reported sequences.
  
    0.837
glgC
Glucose-1-phosphate adenylyltransferase (ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase) subunit alpha; Involved in the biosynthesis of ADP-glucose, a building block required for the elongation reactions to produce glycogen. Catalyzes the reaction between ATP and alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate (G1P) to produce pyrophosphate and ADP-Glc.
   
  
 0.801
hfq
Hfq RNA chaperone; RNA chaperone that binds small regulatory RNA (sRNAs) and mRNAs to facilitate mRNA translational regulation in response to envelope stress, environmental stress and changes in metabolite concentrations. Also binds with high specificity to tRNAs. Belongs to the Hfq family.
      
 0.738
rbsC
Ribose ABC transporter (permease); Part of the ABC transporter complex RbsABC involved in ribose import. Probably responsible for the translocation of the substrate across the membrane.
   
    0.721
rbsK
Ribokinase; Catalyzes the phosphorylation of ribose at O-5 in a reaction requiring ATP and magnesium. The resulting D-ribose-5-phosphate can then be used either for sythesis of nucleotides, histidine, and tryptophan, or as a component of the pentose phosphate pathway.
   
  
 0.699
acsA
acetyl-CoA synthetase; Catalyzes the conversion of acetate into acetyl-CoA (AcCoA), an essential intermediate at the junction of anabolic and catabolic pathways. AcsA undergoes a two-step reaction. In the first half reaction, AcsA combines acetate with ATP to form acetyl-adenylate (AcAMP) intermediate. In the second half reaction, it can then transfer the acetyl group from AcAMP to the sulfhydryl group of CoA, forming the product AcCoA (By similarity). Has a role in growth and sporulation on acetate.
   
    0.686
rbsR
Transcriptional regulator (LacI family); Transcriptional repressor for the ribose rbsDACBK operon.
   
    0.685
acoR
Transcriptional regulator; Acts as a transcriptional activator of the acoABCL operon encoding the acetoin dehydrogenase complex.
  
    0.671
rbsA
Ribose ABC transporter (ATP-binding protein); Part of the ABC transporter complex RbsABC involved in ribose import. Responsible for energy coupling to the transport system. Belongs to the ABC transporter superfamily. Ribose importer (TC 3.A.1.2.1) family.
