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

Score
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. Belongs to the peptidase S24 family. (197 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
recA
DNA repair 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.

TM_0328
m4C-methyltransferase; Similar to GB:AE000511 PID:2313355 percent identity: 58.37; identified by sequence similarity; putative; Belongs to the N(4)/N(6)-methyltransferase family.
    
 0.920
gyrA
DNA gyrase, subunit A; 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.
     
 0.882
metG
methionyl-tRNA synthetase; Is required not only for elongation of protein synthesis but also for the initiation of all mRNA translation through initiator tRNA(fMet) aminoacylation.
       0.836
TM_1083
Conserved hypothetical protein; Activates the tRNA-splicing ligase complex by facilitating the enzymatic turnover of catalytic subunit RtcB. Acts by promoting the guanylylation of RtcB, a key intermediate step in tRNA ligation. Can also alter the NTP specificity of RtcB such that ATP, dGTP or ITP is used efficiently (By similarity). May also act as a chaperone or modulator of proteins involved in DNA or RNA processing.
       0.810
TM_1080
Sugar-phosphate isomerase; Similar to GB:AE000657 percent identity: 77.62; identified by sequence similarity; putative.
       0.801
TM_1081
Anti-sigma factor antagonist, putative; In the phosphorylated form it could act as an anti-anti-sigma factor that counteracts an anti-sigma factor and thus releases a sigma factor from inhibition; Belongs to the anti-sigma-factor antagonist family.
  
  
 0.777
prmA
Ribosomal protein L11 methyltransferase, putative; Methylates ribosomal protein L11; Belongs to the methyltransferase superfamily. PrmA family.
       0.773
panC
Pantoate--beta-alanine ligase; Catalyzes the condensation of pantoate with beta-alanine in an ATP-dependent reaction via a pantoyl-adenylate intermediate. Belongs to the pantothenate synthetase family.
       0.768
TM_1078
Conserved hypothetical protein; Similar to GB:AE000657 percent identity: 65.74; identified by sequence similarity; putative.
