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

lutCComponent of an iron-sulfur oxidase; Is essential for L-lactate degradation and allows cells to grow with lactate as the sole carbon source. May also allow cells to utilize an alternative carbon source during biofilm formation, since it contributes to the formation of architecturally complex communities when lactate is present. (240 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
lutB
Component of an iron-sulfur oxidase; Is essential for L-lactate degradation and allows cells to grow with lactate as the sole carbon source. Has probably a role as an electron transporter during oxidation of L-lactate. May also allow cells to utilize an alternative carbon source during biofilm formation, since it contributes to the formation of architecturally complex communities when lactate is present.
 
 0.999
lutA
Iron-sulfur oxidase component; Is essential for L-lactate degradation and allows cells to grow with lactate as the sole carbon source. May also allow cells to utilize an alternative carbon source during biofilm formation, since it contributes to the formation of architecturally complex communities when lactate is present.
 
 0.999
glcF
Glycolate oxidase iron-sulfur subunit; Component of a complex that catalyzes the oxidation of glycolate to glyoxylate. Is also able to oxidize D-lactate ((R)- lactate). Does not link directly to O(2), and 2,6-dichloroindophenol (DCIP) and phenazine methosulfate (PMS) can act as artificial electron acceptors in vitro, but the physiological molecule that functions as primary electron acceptor during glycolate oxidation is unknown.
 
 
 0.864
yvfI
Putative transcriptional regulator (GntR family); Negatively regulates the transcription of the lutABC operon, which is required for L-lactate utilization. LutR activity is regulated by lactate, since presence of L-lactate, that probably binds to LutR, leads to derepression of the operon. Also appears to be essential for bacilysin biosynthesis.
 
  
 0.789
yvfH
Putative lactate permease; Is the principal permease for the uptake of L-lactate in B.subtilis.
 
  
 0.729
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.
  
  
 0.690
lctP
L-lactate permease; May play a role in L-lactate transport.
 
  
 0.669
fadF
Putative iron-sulphur-binding reductase; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; putative enzyme.
  
 
 0.653
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.
    
   0.570
ptb
Phosphate butyryl coenzyme A transferase; Catalyzes the conversion of butyryl-CoA through butyryl phosphate to butyrate; Belongs to the phosphate acetyltransferase and butyryltransferase family.
  
  
 0.543
