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

alsSAlpha-acetolactate synthase; Evidence 2a: Function of homologous gene experimentally demonstrated in an other organism; Product type e: enzyme. (570 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
alsD
Alpha-acetolactate decarboxylase; Converts acetolactate into acetoin, which can be excreted by the cells. This may be a mechanism for controlling the internal pH of cells in the stationary stage; Belongs to the alpha-acetolactate decarboxylase family.
 
 
 0.999
ilvH
Acetolactate synthase (acetohydroxy-acid synthase) (small subunit); Evidence 2a: Function of homologous gene experimentally demonstrated in an other organism; Product type e: enzyme; Belongs to the acetolactate synthase small subunit family.
 0.998
ilvC
Acetohydroxy-acid isomeroreductase; Involved in the biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA). Catalyzes an alkyl-migration followed by a ketol-acid reduction of (S)-2-acetolactate (S2AL) to yield (R)-2,3-dihydroxy-isovalerate. In the isomerase reaction, S2AL is rearranged via a Mg-dependent methyl migration to produce 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-ketobutyrate (HMKB). In the reductase reaction, this 2-ketoacid undergoes a metal-dependent reduction by NADPH to yield (R)-2,3-dihydroxy-isovalerate.
 
 
 0.997
ilvD
Dihydroxy-acid dehydratase; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type e: enzyme; Belongs to the IlvD/Edd family.
  
 0.971
ilvA
Threonine dehydratase; Catalyzes the anaerobic formation of alpha-ketobutyrate and ammonia from threonine in a two-step reaction. The first step involved a dehydration of threonine and a production of enamine intermediates (aminocrotonate), which tautomerizes to its imine form (iminobutyrate). Both intermediates are unstable and short-lived. The second step is the nonenzymatic hydrolysis of the enamine/imine intermediates to form 2- ketobutyrate and free ammonia. In the low water environment of the cell, the second step is accelerated by RidA (By similarity).
  
 0.961
leuB
3-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase; Catalyzes the oxidation of 3-carboxy-2-hydroxy-4- methylpentanoate (3-isopropylmalate) to 3-carboxy-4-methyl-2- oxopentanoate. The product decarboxylates to 4-methyl-2 oxopentanoate; Belongs to the isocitrate and isopropylmalate dehydrogenases family. LeuB type 1 subfamily.
 0.950
alsR
Transcriptional regulator controlling alsSD and ictEP expression (LysR family); Regulates the expression of the alsSD operon for acetoin biosynthesis.
     
 0.944
pycA
Pyruvate carboxylase; Catalyzes a 2-step reaction, involving the ATP-dependent carboxylation of the covalently attached biotin in the first step and the transfer of the carboxyl group to pyruvate in the second, leading to oxaloacetate production. Fulfills an anaplerotic function in B.subtilis as it is necessary for growth on glucose, but is not required for sporulation.
     
 0.942
ilvB
Acetolactate synthase (acetohydroxy-acid synthase) (large subunit); Evidence 2a: Function of homologous gene experimentally demonstrated in an other organism; Product type e: enzyme.
  
 
0.938
ldh
L-lactate dehydrogenase; Catalyzes the conversion of lactate to pyruvate.
  
 0.934
