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

efeUFerrous ion permease; Uptake of Fe(2+) ions across the membrane. (481 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
efeM
Lipoprotein binding ferrous or ferric iron for transport; Involved in iron uptake; Belongs to the EfeM/EfeO family.
 
  
 0.999
efeN
Peroxidase converting ferric iron into ferrous iron; Involved in the recovery of exogenous heme iron. Extracts iron from heme while preserving the tetrapyrrol ring intact (By similarity).
 
  
 0.998
fhuD
Ferrichrome ABC transporter (ferrichrome-binding lipoprotein); Part of the ABC transporter complex FhuCBGD involved in iron(3+)-hydroxamate import. Binds the iron(3+)-hydroxamate complex and transfers it to the membrane-bound permease. Required for the transport of ferrichrome and coprogen.
   
  
 0.812
yfiY
Putative iron(III) dicitrate transporter binding lipoprotein; Part of the ABC transporter complex YfiYZ/YfhA/YusV involved in import of the iron-hydroxamate siderophores schizokinen, arthrobactin and corprogen. Binds the siderophores and delivers them to the surface of YfiZ/YfhA (Probable).
   
  
 0.771
feuA
Iron hydroxamate-binding lipoprotein; Involved in the uptake of iron. Belongs to the bacterial solute-binding protein 8 family.
   
  
 0.711
yxeB
ABC transporter (ferrioxamine binding lipoprotein); Part of the ABC transporter complex FhuCBGD involved in iron(3+)-hydroxamate import. Binds the iron(3+)-hydroxamate complex and transfers it to the membrane-bound permease. Partially required for the transport of desferrioxamine.
   
  
 0.711
yfiZ
iron(III) siderophore transport permease; Part of the ABC transporter complex YfiYZ/YfhA/YusV involved in import of the iron-hydroxamate siderophores schizokinen, arthrobactin and corprogen.
   
    0.695
folN
5-formyltetrahydrofolate cyclo-ligase; Evidence 2a: Function of homologous gene experimentally demonstrated in an other organism; Product type e: enzyme; Belongs to the 5-formyltetrahydrofolate cyclo-ligase family.
      
 0.685
fhuG
Ferrichrome ABC transporter (permease); Part of the ABC transporter complex FhuBGCD involved in iron(3+)-hydroxamate import. Responsible for the translocation of the substrate across the membrane (By similarity).
   
  
 0.664
btr
HTH-type transcriptional activator Btr; In iron-limited conditions, activates expression of the feuABCybbA operon, which encodes the bacillibactin uptake system. Acts by binding directly to a conserved direct repeat element upstream of the feuA promoter. Activity is increased in the presence of bacillibactin.
