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

Score
degSTwo-component sensor histidine kinase; Member of the two-component regulatory system DegS/DegU, which plays an important role in the transition growth phase. Involved in the control of expression of different cellular functions, including production of degradative enzymes such as the neutral and alkaline proteases, flagellum formation and biofilm formation. Acts as both a protein kinase that undergoes autophosphorylation and subsequently transfers the phosphate to DegU, and a protein phosphatase that dephosphorylates phospho-DegU. (385 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
degU
Two-component response regulator; Member of the two-component regulatory system DegS/DegU, which plays an important role in the transition growth phase. Involved in the control of expression of different cellular functions, including production of degradative enzymes such as the neutral and alkaline proteases, flagellum formation, biofilm formation, and competence for DNA uptake. Positively or negatively regulates expression of many different genes. The phosphorylated form is required for synthesis of degradative enzymes, flagellum formation and biofilm formation. The unphosphorylated [...]
 0.997
degQ
Pleiotropic regulator; Stimulates the phosphotransfer from phospho-DegS to DegU. Affects protease and levansucrose production.
      
 0.920
sacB
Levansucrase; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type e: enzyme.
      
 0.886
desR
Two-component response regulator [DesK]; Member of the two-component regulatory system DesR/DesK, responsible for cold induction of the des gene coding for the Delta5 acyl-lipid desaturase.
 
 0.864
yfiK
Two-component response regulator [YfiJ]; Required for resistance to linearmycins, a family of antibiotic-specialized metabolites produced by some streptomycetes. Member of the two-component regulatory system LnrJ/LnrK, which induces expression of the LnrLMN ABC transporter in response to linearmycins and other polyenes. Probably binds to the promoter region of the lnrLMN operon and directly regulates its expression (Probable). May also promote biofilm formation.
 
 0.854
degR
Activation of degradative enzymes (aprE, nprE, sacB) production or activity; Stabilizes the phosphorylated form of DegU, leading to enhanced production of levansucrase, alkaline protease, and neutral protease.
      
 0.847
aprE
Serine alkaline protease (subtilisin E); Subtilisin is an extracellular alkaline serine protease, it catalyzes the hydrolysis of proteins and peptide amides; Belongs to the peptidase S8 family.
      
 0.845
yhcZ
Two-component response regulator [YhcY]; Member of the two-component regulatory system YhcY/YhcZ.
   0.828
comA
Two-component response regulator; Response regulator in the two-component regulatory system ComP/ComA involved in a major quorum response pathway that regulates the development of genetic competence. Regulates directly the expression of over 20 genes, including genes of the srfA operon, degQ, rapA, rapC, rapE, rapF, etc. Regulates indirectly, through the regulation of comK transcription, the expression of late competence genes.
 
   0.820
yxjL
Two-component response regulator [YxjM]; Probable member of the two-component regulatory system YxjM/YxjL.
   0.819
