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.

lexALexA repressor; Represses a number of genes involved in the response to DNA damage (SOS response), including recA and lexA. In the presence of single-stranded DNA, RecA interacts with LexA causing an autocatalytic cleavage which disrupts the DNA-binding part of LexA, leading to derepression of the SOS regulon and eventually DNA repair. (202 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
recA
recA protein; Can catalyze the hydrolysis of ATP in the presence of single- stranded DNA, the ATP-dependent uptake of single-stranded DNA by duplex DNA, and the ATP-dependent hybridization of homologous single-stranded DNAs. It interacts with LexA causing its activation and leading to its autocatalytic cleavage; Belongs to the RecA family.

MCA2165
Conserved hypothetical protein; Identified by similarity to OMNI:NTL03PA00671.
 
 
 0.976
MCA2166
Conserved hypothetical protein; Identified by similarity to GP:9946550.

dnaE2
Putative DNA polymerase III, alpha subunit; DNA polymerase involved in damage-induced mutagenesis and translesion synthesis (TLS). It is not the major replicative DNA polymerase.
 
   
 0.898
recN
DNA repair protein RecN; May be involved in recombinational repair of damaged DNA.
   
  
 0.852
uvrA
Excinuclease ABC, A subunit; The UvrABC repair system catalyzes the recognition and processing of DNA lesions. UvrA is an ATPase and a DNA-binding protein. A damage recognition complex composed of 2 UvrA and 2 UvrB subunits scans DNA for abnormalities. When the presence of a lesion has been verified by UvrB, the UvrA molecules dissociate.
  
  
 0.792
ntrC
Nitrogen regulation protein NR(I); Member of the two-component regulatory system NtrB/NtrC, which controls expression of the nitrogen-regulated (ntr) genes in response to nitrogen limitation. Phosphorylated NtrC binds directly to DNA and stimulates the formation of open promoter-sigma54-RNA polymerase complexes.
  
   
 0.694
proA
Gamma-glutamyl phosphate reductase; Catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of L-glutamate 5- phosphate into L-glutamate 5-semialdehyde and phosphate. The product spontaneously undergoes cyclization to form 1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate. Belongs to the gamma-glutamyl phosphate reductase family.
      
 0.645
hup
Prophage MuMc02, DNA-binding protein HU; Identified by similarity to SP:P02346; match to protein family HMM PF00216; Belongs to the bacterial histone-like protein family.
      
 0.639
htpX
Heat shock protein HtpX; Identified by similarity to SP:P23894; match to protein family HMM PF01435; match to protein family HMM PF06509; Belongs to the peptidase M48B family.
