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

ywlEProtein-tyrosine-phosphatase; Catalyzes the specific dephosphorylation of phosphoarginine residues in a large number of proteins. Counteracts the protein arginine kinase McsB in vivo. Can dephosphorylate CtsR-P; thus, can restore the DNA-binding ability of the CtsR repressor by reversing the McsB-mediated phosphorylation. Is the only active pArg phosphatase present in B.subtilis. Exhibits almost no activity against pSer, pThr, or pTyr peptides. Appears to play a role in B.subtilis stress resistance. Protein arginine phosphorylation has a physiologically important role and is involved i [...] (150 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
mcsB
Protein tyrosine kinase; Catalyzes the specific phosphorylation of arginine residues in a large number of proteins. Is part of the bacterial stress response system, where it is involved in regulating the global heat shock repressor CtsR; phosphorylates arginine residues in the winged helix- turn-helix domain of CtsR, thereby preventing its binding to DNA and consequently inducing the expression of repressed genes. The transcriptional repressor HrcA, the chaperone GroEL, the unfoldase ClpC, together with several ribosomal subunits, represent other physiological targets of McsB under str [...]

mcsA
Activator of protein kinase McsB; Activates the phosphorylation activity of the protein- arginine kinase McsB. Is required for the delocalization of competence proteins from the cell poles.
  
   
 0.952
ywlF
Ribose 5-phosphate epimerase; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type e: enzyme.
 
    0.931
clpC
Class III stress response-related ATPase, AAA+ superfamily; Competence gene repressor; required for cell growth at high temperature. Negative regulator of comK expression. May interact with MecA to negatively regulate comK; Belongs to the ClpA/ClpB family. ClpC subfamily.
  
  
 0.875
ctsR
Transcriptional regulator; Controls the expression of the cellular protein quality control genes clpC, clpE and clpP, as well as mcsA and mcsB. Acts as a repressor of these class III stress genes by binding to a directly repeated heptanucleotide operator sequence (A/GGTCAAA NAN A/GGTCAAA). After heat shock, CtsR is degraded by the ClpCP and ClpEP proteolytic systems, ensuring the derepression of clpE, clpP and the clpC operon. CtsR negatively autoregulates its own synthesis.
  
   
 0.874
ptkA
Protein tyrosine kinase; May be involved in the regulation of capsular polysaccharide biosynthesis. Autophosphorylates in vitro. Phosphorylates and activates in vitro two UDP-glucose dehydrogenases, YwqF and TuaD, as well as the DNA-binding proteins Ssb and SsbB; Belongs to the CpsD/CapB family.
  
 
 0.865
ywqE
Protein tyrosine-phosphatase; Dephosphorylates the phosphotyrosine-containing proteins YwqD, YwqF and Ssb.
      
 0.850
tsaC
tRNA(NNU) t(6)A37 threonylcarbamoyladenosine modification; Required for the formation of a threonylcarbamoyl group on adenosine at position 37 (t(6)A37) in tRNAs that read codons beginning with adenine. Catalyzes the conversion of L-threonine, HCO(3)(-)/CO(2) and ATP to give threonylcarbamoyl-AMP (TC-AMP) as the acyladenylate intermediate, with the release of diphosphate. Is also able to catalyze the reverse reaction in vitro, i.e. the formation of ATP from TC-AMP and PPi; Belongs to the SUA5 family.
 
    0.828
glyA
Serine hydroxymethyltransferase; Catalyzes the reversible interconversion of serine and glycine with tetrahydrofolate (THF) serving as the one-carbon carrier. This reaction serves as the major source of one-carbon groups required for the biosynthesis of purines, thymidylate, methionine, and other important biomolecules. Also exhibits THF-independent aldolase activity toward beta-hydroxyamino acids, producing glycine and aldehydes, via a retro-aldol mechanism (By similarity); Belongs to the SHMT family.
 
    0.808
yrkH
Putative hydrolase; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pe: putative enzyme.
