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

rbsKRibokinase; 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. (293 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
rbsR
Transcriptional regulator (LacI family); Transcriptional repressor for the ribose rbsDACBK operon.
  
 0.999
rbsD
Ribose ABC transporter (membrane bound ribose binding); Catalyzes the interconversion of beta-pyran and beta-furan forms of D-ribose.
 
  
 0.999
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.
 
  
 0.999
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.
 
  
 0.999
rbsB
Ribose ABC transporter (ribose-binding lipoprotein); Part of the ABC transporter complex RbsABC involved in ribose import. Binds ribose.
 
  
 0.998
deoC
Deoxyribose-phosphate aldolase; Catalyzes a reversible aldol reaction between acetaldehyde and D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to generate 2-deoxy-D-ribose 5- phosphate.
 
 
 0.987
tkt
Transketolase; Catalyzes the transfer of a two-carbon ketol group from a ketose donor to an aldose acceptor, via a covalent intermediate with the cofactor thiamine pyrophosphate.
  
 0.927
prs
Phosphoribosylpyrophosphate synthetase; Involved in the biosynthesis of the central metabolite phospho-alpha-D-ribosyl-1-pyrophosphate (PRPP) via the transfer of pyrophosphoryl group from ATP to 1-hydroxyl of ribose-5-phosphate (Rib- 5-P).
  
 0.926
ywlF
Ribose 5-phosphate epimerase; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type e: enzyme.
  
 
 0.919
pgcA
Alpha-phosphoglucomutase; Catalyzes the interconversion between glucose-6-phosphate and alpha-glucose-1-phosphate. This is the first step in the biosynthesis of diglucosyl-diacylglycerol (Glc2-DAG), i.e. the predominant glycolipid found in B.subtilis membrane, which is also used as a membrane anchor for lipoteichoic acid (LTA). Has a role in the biosynthesis of all phosphate-containing envelope polymers, since glucose-1-phosphate is the precursor of UDP-glucose, which serves as a glucosyl donor not only for the biosynthesis of LTA but also for wall teichoic acids (WTAs). Is required fo [...]
