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

maeANAD-dependent malic enzyme (conversion of malate into pyruvate); Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type e: enzyme. (582 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ywkB
Putative transporter; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pt: putative transporter.
  
  
 0.972
mdh
Malate dehydrogenase; Catalyzes the reversible oxidation of malate to oxaloacetate.
  
 0.959
pyk
Pyruvate kinase; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type e: enzyme; In the C-terminal section; belongs to the PEP-utilizing enzyme family.
  
 0.954
fumC
Fumarate hydratase; Involved in the TCA cycle. Catalyzes the stereospecific interconversion of fumarate to L-malate; Belongs to the class-II fumarase/aspartase family. Fumarase subfamily.
  
 
 0.934
ldh
L-lactate dehydrogenase; Catalyzes the conversion of lactate to pyruvate.
  
 0.928
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.
   
 0.927
ydaP
Putative enzyme with pyruvate as substrate; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pe: putative enzyme.
  
 
 0.916
pdhB
Pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1 beta subunit); The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex catalyzes the overall conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA and CO(2). It contains multiple copies of three enzymatic components: pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1), dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase (E2) and lipoamide dehydrogenase (E3).
   
 
 0.915
yflS
2-oxoglutarate/malate transporter; Might be a malate transporter.
  
  
 0.911
yvkC
Putative phosphotransferase; 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 PEP-utilizing enzyme family.
