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.

whiAPutative morphogen; Involved in cell division and chromosome segregation. May influence the activity of FtsZ. Binds DNA, but does not seem to function as a transcription factor ; Belongs to the WhiA family. (316 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
yvcJ
GTPase; Displays ATPase and GTPase activities. Can also hydrolyze pNPP. May affect the expression of competence via the phosphorylation of a cellular component.
  
 0.987
mgfK
Gluconeogenesis morphogenetic factor; Required for morphogenesis under gluconeogenic growth conditions. Required, in gluconeogenic growth conditions, for the correct localization of PBP1 and hence for displaying a normal rod shape; Belongs to the gluconeogenesis factor family.
  
  
 0.978
yvcN
Putative acetyltransferase; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; putative enzyme; Belongs to the arylamine N-acetyltransferase family.
  
  
 0.951
crh
Catabolite repression HPr-like protein; Along with seryl-phosphorylated HPr, phosphorylated Crh is implicated in carbon catabolite repression (CCR) of levanase, inositol dehydrogenase, and beta-xylosidase. Exerts its effect on CCR by interacting with CcpA.
  
  
 0.947
yvcI
Putative triphosphate pyrophosphate hydrolase; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pe: putative enzyme; Belongs to the Nudix hydrolase family.
  
  
 0.908
ftsZ
Cell-division initiation protein; Essential cell division protein that forms a contractile ring structure (Z ring) at the future cell division site. The regulation of the ring assembly controls the timing and the location of cell division. One of the functions of the FtsZ ring is to recruit other cell division proteins to the septum to produce a new cell wall between the dividing cells. Binds GTP and shows GTPase activity.
  
  
 0.857
rpoA
RNA polymerase (alpha subunit); DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates.
  
   0.765
sepF
Cell division machinery factor; Cell division protein that is part of the divisome complex and is recruited early to the Z-ring. Probably stimulates Z-ring formation, perhaps through the cross-linking of FtsZ protofilaments. Its function overlaps with FtsA; Belongs to the SepF family.
  
  
 0.765
rpoZ
Omega subunit of RNA polymerase; Promotes RNA polymerase assembly. Latches the N- and C- terminal regions of the beta' subunit thereby facilitating its interaction with the beta and alpha subunits (By similarity).
   
 
 0.763
sigA
RNA polymerase major sigma-43 factor (sigma-A); Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. This sigma factor is the primary sigma factor during exponential growth; Belongs to the sigma-70 factor family. RpoD/SigA subfamily.
