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

comPTwo-component sensor histidine kinase; Sensor in the two-component regulatory system ComP/ComA involved in a major quorum response pathway that regulates the development of genetic competence. Plays a role in sporulation, at least partly interchangeable with that of SpoIIJ. Probably activates ComA by phosphorylation. (769 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
comX
Competence pheromone precursor (pheromone peptide aa 46->55, geranyl-modified); Part of a major quorum-sensing system that regulates the development of genetic competence. Acts through the activation of the two-component regulatory system ComP/ComA composed of a sensor histidine kinase, ComP, and a response regulator, ComA, that regulates directly the transcription of over 20 genes. Transport through the membrane may involve Spo0K. Under certain conditions plays a role in sporulation.
  
 
 0.998
comA
Two-component response regulator; Response regulator in the two-component regulatory system ComP/ComA involved in a major quorum response pathway that regulates the development of genetic competence. Regulates directly the expression of over 20 genes, including genes of the srfA operon, degQ, rapA, rapC, rapE, rapF, etc. Regulates indirectly, through the regulation of comK transcription, the expression of late competence genes.
 
 0.997
comQ
Isoprenyl transferase (pre-ComX modification); Involved in the maturation of ComX, part of a major quorum- sensing system that regulates the development of genetic competence.
  
  
 0.997
degQ
Pleiotropic regulator; Stimulates the phosphotransfer from phospho-DegS to DegU. Affects protease and levansucrose production.
     
 0.950
srfAA
Surfactin synthetase; This protein is a multifunctional enzyme able to activate and polymerize the amino acids Leu, Glu, Asp and Val. Activation sites for these AA consist of individual domains.
   
  
 0.926
phrC
Phosphatase RapC inhibitor; Inhibitor of the activity of phosphatase RapC; Belongs to the phr family.
   
  
 0.891
comS
Regulator of genetic competence; Required for the development of competence.
      
 0.888
rapC
Response regulator aspartate phosphatase; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type e: enzyme; Belongs to the RAP family.
   
  
 0.848
degU
Two-component response regulator; Member of the two-component regulatory system DegS/DegU, which plays an important role in the transition growth phase. Involved in the control of expression of different cellular functions, including production of degradative enzymes such as the neutral and alkaline proteases, flagellum formation, biofilm formation, and competence for DNA uptake. Positively or negatively regulates expression of many different genes. The phosphorylated form is required for synthesis of degradative enzymes, flagellum formation and biofilm formation. The unphosphorylated [...]

yxjL
Two-component response regulator [YxjM]; Probable member of the two-component regulatory system YxjM/YxjL.
