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

ftsZCell division protein FtsZ; Essential cell division protein that forms a contractile ring structure (Z ring) at the future cell division site. The regulation of the ring assembly controls the timing and the location of cell division. One of the functions of the FtsZ ring is to recruit other cell division proteins to the septum to produce a new cell wall between the dividing cells. Binds GTP and shows GTPase activity. (351 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ftsA
Cell division protein FtsA, putative; Cell division protein that is involved in the assembly of the Z ring. May serve as a membrane anchor for the Z ring.
 
 
 0.999
TM_1277
Cell division protein FtsA, putative; Similar to GB:AE000657 percent identity: 49.73; identified by sequence similarity; putative.
  
 
 0.959
minC
Septum site-determining protein MinC, putative; Cell division inhibitor that blocks the formation of polar Z ring septums. Rapidly oscillates between the poles of the cell to destabilize FtsZ filaments that have formed before they mature into polar Z rings. Prevents FtsZ polymerization (By similarity). Belongs to the MinC family.
   
 
 0.942
secA
Preprotein translocase SecA subunit; Part of the Sec protein translocase complex. Interacts with the SecYEG preprotein conducting channel. Has a central role in coupling the hydrolysis of ATP to the transfer of proteins into and across the cell membrane, serving as an ATP-driven molecular motor driving the stepwise translocation of polypeptide chains across the membrane.
 
 
 0.940
gyrB
DNA gyrase, subunit B; A type II topoisomerase that negatively supercoils closed circular double-stranded (ds) DNA in an ATP-dependent manner to modulate DNA topology and maintain chromosomes in an underwound state. Negative supercoiling favors strand separation, and DNA replication, transcription, recombination and repair, all of which involve strand separation. Also able to catalyze the interconversion of other topological isomers of dsDNA rings, including catenanes and knotted rings. Type II topoisomerases break and join 2 DNA strands simultaneously in an ATP-dependent manner.
 
  
 0.908
murG
Undecaprenyl-PP-MurNAc-pentapeptide-UDPGlcNAc GlcNAc transferase; Cell wall formation. Catalyzes the transfer of a GlcNAc subunit on undecaprenyl-pyrophosphoryl-MurNAc-pentapeptide (lipid intermediate I) to form undecaprenyl-pyrophosphoryl-MurNAc- (pentapeptide)GlcNAc (lipid intermediate II); Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 28 family. MurG subfamily.

TM_0837
General secretion pathway protein E; Similar to GB:AE000657 percent identity: 67.38; identified by sequence similarity; putative.
     
 0.870
TM_0838
Hypothetical protein; Identified by sequence similarity; putative.
       0.827
TM_0839
Rod shape-determining protein RodA; Similar to GB:AE000657 percent identity: 63.05; identified by sequence similarity; putative; Belongs to the SEDS family.
 
 
 0.793
ilvE
Branched-chain amino acid aminotransferase, putative; Acts on leucine, isoleucine and valine; Belongs to the class-IV pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family.
