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

TM_1512Sun protein; Specifically methylates the cytosine at position 967 (m5C967) of 16S rRNA. (431 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
fmt
methionyl-tRNA formyltransferase; Attaches a formyl group to the free amino group of methionyl- tRNA(fMet). The formyl group appears to play a dual role in the initiator identity of N-formylmethionyl-tRNA by promoting its recognition by IF2 and preventing the misappropriation of this tRNA by the elongation apparatus; Belongs to the Fmt family.
 
 
 0.999
thiI
Thiamin biosynthesis protein ThiI; Catalyzes the ATP-dependent transfer of a sulfur to tRNA to produce 4-thiouridine in position 8 of tRNAs, which functions as a near-UV photosensor. Also catalyzes the transfer of sulfur to the sulfur carrier protein ThiS, forming ThiS-thiocarboxylate. This is a step in the synthesis of thiazole, in the thiamine biosynthesis pathway. The sulfur is donated as persulfide by IscS.
   
    0.980
ligA
DNA ligase; DNA ligase that catalyzes the formation of phosphodiester linkages between 5'-phosphoryl and 3'-hydroxyl groups in double- stranded DNA using NAD as a coenzyme and as the energy source for the reaction. It is essential for DNA replication and repair of damaged DNA.
  
  
 0.978
rpsJ
Ribosomal protein S10; Involved in the binding of tRNA to the ribosomes. Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS10 family.
  
 
 0.936
TM_0990
Conserved hypothetical protein; Similar to GB:Pyro_h percent identity: 71.88; identified by sequence similarity; putative.
  
 
 0.934
rpmD
Ribosomal protein L30; Similar to SP:P02431 percent identity: 75.00; identified by sequence similarity; putative.
  
 
 0.919
rbgA
Conserved hypothetical protein; Required for a late step of 50S ribosomal subunit assembly. Has GTPase activity. Binds to the 23S rRNA (By similarity). Belongs to the TRAFAC class YlqF/YawG GTPase family. MTG1 subfamily.
 
 
 0.905
rpoB
DNA-directed RNA polymerase, beta subunit; DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates.
  
 
 0.904
TM_0848
Conserved hypothetical protein; Similar to SP:P54453 PID:1303788 GB:AL009126 percent identity: 57.89; identified by sequence similarity; putative.
 
 
 0.901
rplX
Ribosomal protein L24; One of two assembly initiator proteins, it binds directly to the 5'-end of the 23S rRNA, where it nucleates assembly of the 50S subunit.
  
 
 0.900
