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

mutLDNA mismatch repair protein MutL; This protein is involved in the repair of mismatches in DNA. It is required for dam-dependent methyl-directed DNA mismatch repair. May act as a 'molecular matchmaker', a protein that promotes the formation of a stable complex between two or more DNA-binding proteins in an ATP-dependent manner without itself being part of a final effector complex (By similarity). (425 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
mutS1
DNA mismatch repair protein MutS; This protein is involved in the repair of mismatches in DNA. It is possible that it carries out the mismatch recognition step. This protein has a weak ATPase activity (By similarity).

dnaN
DNA polymerase III beta chain; Confers DNA tethering and processivity to DNA polymerases and other proteins. Acts as a clamp, forming a ring around DNA (a reaction catalyzed by the clamp-loading complex) which diffuses in an ATP- independent manner freely and bidirectionally along dsDNA. Initially characterized for its ability to contact the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase III (Pol III), a complex, multichain enzyme responsible for most of the replicative synthesis in bacteria; Pol III exhibits 3'-5' exonuclease proofreading activity. The beta chain is required for initiation of re [...]
   
 0.990
pol
DNA polymerase I 3'-5' exo domain; 5'-3' exonuclease acting preferentially on double-stranded DNA.
   
 0.988
rep
ATP-dependent DNA helicase REP.
   
 
 0.987
gidB
Glucose inhibited division protein B; Specifically methylates the N7 position of a guanine in 16S rRNA; Belongs to the methyltransferase superfamily. RNA methyltransferase RsmG family.
 
   
 0.844
gyrB
Gyrase B; A type II topoisomerase. Despite its similarity to DNA gyrase, this enzyme is not able to supercoil DNA, and instead acts like topoisomerase IV. Relaxes both positively and negatively supercoiled DNA in an ATP-dependent fashion, decatenates interlocked circles. If this subunit is reconstituted with GyrA from E.coli the hybrid enzyme supercoils relaxed plasmid DNA; if paired with E.coli ParC supercoiling is not restored. This the first bacteria shown to not contain DNA gyrase, although it has 2 copies of a reverse gyrase that introduces positive supercoils. Type II topoisomera [...]

miaA
tRNA delta-2-isopentenylpyrophosphate (IPP) transferase; Catalyzes the transfer of a dimethylallyl group onto the adenine at position 37 in tRNAs that read codons beginning with uridine, leading to the formation of N6-(dimethylallyl)adenosine (i(6)A); Belongs to the IPP transferase family.
  
 0.807
pyrF
Orotidine-5'-phosphate decarboxylase; Catalyzes the decarboxylation of orotidine 5'-monophosphate (OMP) to uridine 5'-monophosphate (UMP); Belongs to the OMP decarboxylase family. Type 1 subfamily.
     
 0.771
uvrC
Repair excision nuclease subunit C; The UvrABC repair system catalyzes the recognition and processing of DNA lesions. UvrC both incises the 5' and 3' sides of the lesion. The N-terminal half is responsible for the 3' incision and the C-terminal half is responsible for the 5' incision.
