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

mcp3Methyl-accepting chemotaxis protein; Chemotactic-signal transducers respond to changes in the concentration of attractants and repellents in the environment, transduce a signal from the outside to the inside of the cell, and facilitate sensory adaptation through the variation of the level of methylation. (539 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
cheA
Chemotaxis sensor histidine kinase CheA; Involved in the transmission of sensory signals from the chemoreceptors to the flagellar motors. CheA is autophosphorylated; it can transfer its phosphate group to either CheB or CheY (By similarity).
 
 0.943
cheW
Purine-binding chemotaxis protein; Involved in the transmission of sensory signals from the chemoreceptors to the flagellar motors.
 
 0.931
TM_0718
Purine-binding chemotaxis protein; Similar to GB:M13462 SP:P07365 PID:145520 GB:U00096 PID:1736540 percent identity: 61.43; identified by sequence similarity; putative.
 
 0.916
cheR
Chemotactic methyltransferase; Methylation of the membrane-bound methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins (MCP) to form gamma-glutamyl methyl ester residues in MCP.
 0.889
cheB
Protein-glutamate methylesterase; Involved in chemotaxis. Part of a chemotaxis signal transduction system that modulates chemotaxis in response to various stimuli. Catalyzes the demethylation of specific methylglutamate residues introduced into the chemoreceptors (methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins or MCP) by CheR. Also mediates the irreversible deamidation of specific glutamine residues to glutamic acid. Belongs to the CheB family.
 0.881
TM_1147
Conserved hypothetical protein; Similar to PID:558266 percent identity: 58.48; identified by sequence similarity; putative.
   
  0.806
cheD
Chemotaxis methylation protein; Deamidates glutamine residues on chemoreceptors (MCPs). CheD- mediated MCP deamidation is required for productive communication of the conformational signals of the chemoreceptors to the CheA kinase. In addition, demethylates methylated glutamate residues on chemoreceptors Mcp2 and Mcp4. Enhances the activity of CheC.
 
  0.773
TM_1148
Isocitrate dehydrogenase; Similar to SP:P21954 PID:1431074 PID:171749 percent identity: 74.63; identified by sequence similarity; putative; Belongs to the isocitrate and isopropylmalate dehydrogenases family.
       0.746
TM_1184
pleD-related protein; Similar to PID:1652841 percent identity: 50.78; identified by sequence similarity; putative.
 
 0.656
cheC
Chemotaxis protein CheC; Involved in restoring normal CheY-P levels by dephosphorylating CheY-P. Inhibits CheD by incorporating in its fold a structural motif that mimics a CheD substrate recognition site to bait and inactivate it; Belongs to the CheC family.
