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.

sufSCysteine desulfurase; Enzyme able to deliver sulfur to partners involved in Fe-S cluster assembly. Catalyzes the removal of elemental sulfur atoms from L-cysteine to produce L-alanine. Activity is stimulated 40- to 100-fold by SufU, which acts as a second substrate for this enzyme following release of Ala, and generating SufU.S. A mixture of SufS, SufU, Fra and L-cysteine is able to reconstitute Fe-S clusters on apo-aconitase (citB), reconstituting aconitase activity. (406 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
sufB
FeS cluster formation protein; The SufBCD complex acts synergistically with SufE to stimulate the cysteine desulfurase activity of SufS. The SufBCD complex contributes to the assembly or repair of oxygen-labile iron-sulfur clusters under oxidative stress. May facilitate iron uptake from extracellular iron chelators under iron limitation (By similarity). Belongs to the UPF0051 (ycf24) family.
 
 0.999
sufU
Iron-sulfur cluster assembly scaffold protein; Its function is controversial. Has been generally assumed to be an iron-sulfur cluster assembly scaffold protein , but more recent evidence suggest it is a sulfurtransferase rather than a scaffold assembly protein. Has been shown to bind low levels of a labile, air- sensitive Fe-S cluster; this can be assembled under anaerobic conditions from FeCl(3) and Li(2)S. Has been shown to be able to transfer this Fe-S cluster to an acceptor protein. Stimulates the cysteine desulfurase activity of SufS, for which it acts as a second substrate. Alkyl [...]

sufD
FeS assembly protein SufD; The SufBCD complex acts synergistically with SufE to stimulate the cysteine desulfurase activity of SufS. The SufBCD complex contributes to the assembly or repair of oxygen-labile iron-sulfur clusters under oxidative stress. May facilitate iron uptake from extracellular iron chelators under iron limitation (By similarity). Belongs to the UPF0051 (ycf24) family.

sufC
Sulfur mobilizing ABC protein, ATPase; Evidence 2b: Function of strongly homologous gene; enzyme; Belongs to the ABC transporter superfamily. Ycf16 family.
  
 0.999
trxB
Thioredoxin reductase; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type e: enzyme; Belongs to the class-II pyridine nucleotide-disulfide oxidoreductase family.
  
 
  0.915
metI
Cystathionine gamma-synthase and O-acetylhomoserine thiolyase; Catalyzes the formation of L-cystathionine from O-acetyl-L- homoserine and L-cysteine. Cannot use O-succinyl-L-homoserine as substrate. Also exhibits O-acetylhomoserine thiolyase activity, catalyzing the synthesis of L-homocysteine from O-acetyl-L-homoserine and sulfide.
   
 
 0.907
yitW
Conserved hypothetical protein; Involved in the maturation of iron-sulfur (Fe-S) proteins. May function as a Fe-S cluster carrier.
 
  
 0.770
fra
Frataxin; Possible global iron distributor for the cell. Promotes the biosynthesis of iron-sulfur clusters by delivering Fe to the iron- sulfur cluster assembly scaffold protein SufU. In the presence of SufS and L-cysteine reconstitutes Fe-S clusters on SufU, which when further incubated with apo-aconitase (citB) reconstitutes aconitase activity. Able to reconstitute an Fe-S cluster on Thermotoga maritima IscU.

ccpA
Transcriptional regulator (Lacl family); Global transcriptional regulator of carbon catabolite repression (CCR) and carbon catabolite activation (CCA), which ensures optimal energy usage under diverse conditions. Interacts with either P- Ser-HPr or P-Ser-Crh, leading to the formation of a complex that binds to DNA at the catabolite-response elements (cre). Binding to DNA allows activation or repression of many different genes and operons.
    
   0.587
metQ
Methionine ABC transporter, substrate binding lipoprotein; Part of the ABC transporter complex MetNPQ involved in methionine import. Binds the methionine and transfers it to the membrane-bound permease. It has also been shown to be involved in methionine sulfoxide transport (Probable); Belongs to the NlpA lipoprotein family.
