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

ftsECell-division ABC transporter (ATP-binding protein); Part of the ABC transporter FtsEX involved in sporulation. May act as an importer, possibly at the top of a hierarchical cascade leading to the correct temporal initiation of sporulation. Acts upstream of the histidine kinases KinA, KinB and KinC, the RapA phosphatase and the Spo0A sporulation protein. (228 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ftsX
Cell-division ABC transporter; Part of the ABC transporter FtsEX involved in asymmetric cellular division facilitating the initiation of sporulation. May act as an importer, possibly at the top of a hierarchical cascade leading to the correct temporal initiation of sporulation. Acts upstream of the histidine kinases KinA, KinB and KinC, the RapA phosphatase and the Spo0A sporulation protein; Belongs to the ABC-4 integral membrane protein family. FtsX subfamily.

ftsA
Cell-division protein essential fo Z-ring assembly; Cell division protein that is required for the assembly of the Z ring. May serve as a membrane anchor for the Z ring (By similarity). Binds and hydrolyzes ATP. Also involved in sporulation (Probable). Belongs to the FtsA/MreB family.
  
  
 0.990
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.
   
 
 0.987
ftsW
Cell-division protein; Peptidoglycan polymerase that is essential for cell division.
  
  
 0.979
spoIIIE
Spore DNA translocase; Plays an essential role during sporulation. Required for the translocation of the chromosomal DNA from mother cell into the forespore during polar septation, for the final steps of compartmentalization in the presence of trapped DNA, and for the final steps of engulfment. The N-terminus mediates localization to the division septum and is required for both septal membrane fusion and engulfment membrane fusion. May form DNA-conducting channels across the two lipid bilayers of the septum after cell division. The C-terminus functions as a DNA motor that exports DNA i [...]

cwlO
Secreted cell wall DL-endopeptidase; The C-terminal part of CwlO shows a cell wall hydrolytic DL- endopeptidase activity; Belongs to the peptidase C40 family.
 
  
 0.963
yshA
Conserved hypothetical protein; Activator of cell division through the inhibition of FtsZ GTPase activity, therefore promoting FtsZ assembly into bundles of protofilaments necessary for the formation of the division Z ring. It is recruited early at mid-cell but it is not essential for cell division (By similarity); Belongs to the ZapA family. Type 2 subfamily.
   
  
 0.949
yknZ
Putative permease; Part of an unusual four-component transporter, which is required for protection against the killing factor SdpC (sporulation- delaying protein).
   
 0.948
yvrN
Putative ABC transporter (ATP-binding protein); Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pt: putative transporter.
     0.915
cydC
ABC membrane transporter (ATP-binding protein) required for cytochrome bb' function; Somehow involved in the cytochrome D branch of aerobic respiration. Seems to be a component of a transport system (By similarity); Belongs to the ABC transporter superfamily. Cysteine exporter (TC 3.A.1.129.1) family.
