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.

ytjAConserved hypothetical protein; Could be involved in insertion of integral membrane proteins into the membrane; Belongs to the UPF0161 family. (75 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
rnpA
Protein component of ribonuclease P (RNase P) (substrate specificity); RNaseP catalyzes the removal of the 5'-leader sequence from pre-tRNA to produce the mature 5'-terminus. It can also cleave other RNA substrates such as 4.5S RNA. The protein component plays an auxiliary but essential role in vivo by binding to the 5'-leader sequence and broadening the substrate specificity of the ribozyme.

serS
seryl-tRNA synthetase; Catalyzes the attachment of serine to tRNA(Ser). Is also able to aminoacylate tRNA(Sec) with serine, to form the misacylated tRNA L- seryl-tRNA(Sec), which will be further converted into selenocysteinyl- tRNA(Sec).
  
  
 0.829
oxaAB
Sec-independent factor for membrane protein insertion (YidC/SpoIIIJ family); Required for the insertion and/or proper folding and/or complex formation of integral membrane proteins into the membrane. Involved in integration of membrane proteins that insert both dependently and independently of the Sec translocase complex, as well as at least some lipoproteins (By similarity). Also involved in protein secretion processes. It has an overlapping, although partly distinct, function compared to SpoIIIJ(MisCB).
  
  
 0.813
secE
Preprotein translocase subunit; Essential subunit of the Sec protein translocation channel SecYEG. Clamps together the 2 halves of SecY. May contact the channel plug during translocation.
   
    0.807
rsmD
Putative ribosomal RNA small subunit methyltransferase D; May catalyze the S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent methylation of a specific base in rRNA.
  
    0.795
oxaAA
Sec-independent factor for membrane protein insertion (YidC/SpoIIIJ family); Required for the insertion and/or proper folding and/or complex formation of integral membrane proteins into the membrane. Involved in integration of membrane proteins that insert both dependently and independently of the Sec translocase complex, as well as at least some lipoproteins (By similarity). Also involved in protein secretion processes. Essential for sporulation by activating sigma factor SpoIIIG/SigG after engulfment is completed in the prespore, maybe by acting on SpoIIIAE. It has an overlapping, al [...]
  
  
 0.795
rho
Transcriptional terminator Rho; Facilitates transcription termination by a mechanism that involves Rho binding to the nascent RNA, activation of Rho's RNA- dependent ATPase activity, and release of the mRNA from the DNA template.
  
    0.764
jag
SpoIIIJ-associated RNA/ssDNA-binding protein; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type f: factor.
  
    0.744
luxS
S-ribosylhomocysteine lyase; Involved in the synthesis of autoinducer 2 (AI-2) which is secreted by bacteria and is used to communicate both the cell density and the metabolic potential of the environment. The regulation of gene expression in response to changes in cell density is called quorum sensing. Catalyzes the transformation of S-ribosylhomocysteine (RHC) to homocysteine (HC) and 4,5-dihydroxy-2,3-pentadione (DPD); Belongs to the LuxS family.
  
    0.703
yneR
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function; Belongs to the HesB/IscA family.
