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

acsAacetyl-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. (572 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ackA
Acetate kinase; Catalyzes the formation of acetyl phosphate from acetate and ATP. Can also catalyze the reverse reaction. Appears to favor the formation of acetate. Involved in the secretion of excess carbohydrate.
   
 
 0.990
acuA
Protein acetyltransferase; Part of the acuABC operon, which is possibly involved in the breakdown of acetoin and butanediol. Acts as an acetyltransferase inactivating acetyl-CoA synthetase AcsA via acetylation at a Lys residue.
 
  
 0.988
pta
Phosphotransacetylase; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type e: enzyme.
  
 
 0.987
citZ
Citrate synthase II; Might regulate the synthesis and function of enzymes involved in later enzymatic steps of Krebs cycle. Loss in activity results in sporulation defect; Belongs to the citrate synthase family.
  
 0.982
acuC
Protein deacetylase; Role in growth and sporulation on acetoin or butanediol. Involved in the breakdown of these compounds used as a carbon source; Belongs to the histone deacetylase family.
 
  
 0.978
citA
Citrate synthase I; Might regulate the synthesis and function of enzymes involved in later enzymatic steps of Krebs cycle. Loss in activity results in sporulation defect; Belongs to the citrate synthase family.
  
 0.964
mmgD
2-methylcitrate synthase/citrate synthase III; Involved in both the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) and methylcitric acid cycles. Has both 2-methylcitrate synthase and citrate synthase activities. Catalyzes the condensation of propionyl-CoA and oxaloacetate to yield 2-methylcitrate (2-MC) and CoA, and the condensation of acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate to yield citrate and CoA. Has 2.3-fold higher activity as a 2-methylcitrate synthase. Catalyzes the formation of either (2S,3R)- or (2R,3S)-2-methylcitrate.
  
 0.964
mmgA
Degradative acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type e: enzyme; Belongs to the thiolase-like superfamily. Thiolase family.
  
 
 0.961
yhfS
Putative acetyl-CoA C-acetyltransferase; May be involved in fatty acid metabolism; Belongs to the thiolase-like superfamily. Thiolase family.
  
 
 0.953
dhaS
Putative aldehyde dehydrogenase; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pe: putative enzyme; Belongs to the aldehyde dehydrogenase family.
