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

rbsRTranscriptional regulator (LacI family); Transcriptional repressor for the ribose rbsDACBK operon. (326 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
rbsK
Ribokinase; Catalyzes the phosphorylation of ribose at O-5 in a reaction requiring ATP and magnesium. The resulting D-ribose-5-phosphate can then be used either for sythesis of nucleotides, histidine, and tryptophan, or as a component of the pentose phosphate pathway.
  
 0.999
rbsD
Ribose ABC transporter (membrane bound ribose binding); Catalyzes the interconversion of beta-pyran and beta-furan forms of D-ribose.
 
  
 0.997
rbsA
Ribose ABC transporter (ATP-binding protein); Part of the ABC transporter complex RbsABC involved in ribose import. Responsible for energy coupling to the transport system. Belongs to the ABC transporter superfamily. Ribose importer (TC 3.A.1.2.1) family.
 
  
 0.996
rbsC
Ribose ABC transporter (permease); Part of the ABC transporter complex RbsABC involved in ribose import. Probably responsible for the translocation of the substrate across the membrane.
 
  
 0.994
rbsB
Ribose ABC transporter (ribose-binding lipoprotein); Part of the ABC transporter complex RbsABC involved in ribose import. Binds ribose.
 
  
0.994
ywsB
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function; PubMedId: 15187182.
  
    0.809
yncC
Putative sugar transporter; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pt: putative transporter.
   
  
 0.693
cstA
Carbon starvation-induced membrane protein; Involved in peptide utilization. Belongs to the peptide transporter carbon starvation (CstA) (TC 2.A.114) family.
   
    0.685
acoR
Transcriptional regulator; Acts as a transcriptional activator of the acoABCL operon encoding the acetoin dehydrogenase complex.
   
    0.677
yrbE
Putative oxidoreductase; 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 Gfo/Idh/MocA family.
   
    0.641
