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

pucKUric acid permease; Uptake of uric acid. (430 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
pucL
Urate oxidase with peroxide reductase N-terminal domain; Catalyzes two steps in the degradation of uric acid, i.e. the oxidation of uric acid to 5-hydroxyisourate (HIU) and the stereoselective decarboxylation of 2-oxo-4-hydroxy-4-carboxy-5- ureidoimidazoline (OHCU) to (S)-allantoin.
  
 0.984
pucJ
Uric acid permease; Uptake of uric acid.
 
  
0.925
pucM
5-hydroxyisourate hydrolase; Catalyzes the hydrolysis of 5-hydroxyisourate (HIU) to 2-oxo- 4-hydroxy-4-carboxy-5-ureidoimidazoline (OHCU).
 
    0.916
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.
  
 0.833
pucH
Allantoinase; Catalyzes the conversion of allantoin (5-ureidohydantoin) to allantoic acid by hydrolytic cleavage of the five-member hydantoin ring.
  
  
 0.732
pucR
Transcriptional regulator of the purine degradation operon; Activates the expression of pucFG, pucH, pucI, pucJKLM and guaD, while it represses pucABCDE and its own expression. Belongs to the CdaR family.
  
    0.726
pyrR
Transcriptional attenuator and uracil phosphoribosyltransferase activity; Regulates transcriptional attenuation of the pyrimidine nucleotide (pyr) operon by binding in a uridine-dependent manner to specific sites on pyr mRNA. This disrupts an antiterminator hairpin in the RNA and favors formation of a downstream transcription terminator, leading to a reduced expression of downstream genes; Belongs to the purine/pyrimidine phosphoribosyltransferase family. PyrR subfamily.
  
  
 0.713
pyrB
Aspartate carbamoyltransferase; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type e: enzyme.
  
  
 0.713
yrbD
Sodium/proton-dependent alanine transporter; Evidence 2a: Function of homologous gene experimentally demonstrated in an other organism; transporter.
  
  
 0.697
samT
Bifunctional homocysteine S-methyltransferase/5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase; Evidence 2a: Function of homologous gene experimentally demonstrated in an other organism; enzyme.
   
  
 0.691
