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

defPolypeptide deformylase (def); Removes the formyl group from the N-terminal Met of newly synthesized proteins. Requires at least a dipeptide for an efficient rate of reaction. N-terminal L-methionine is a prerequisite for activity but the enzyme has broad specificity at other positions (By similarity). (162 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
fmt
methionyl-tRNA formyltransferase (fmt); 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.
 0.996
rpsU
Ribosomal protein S21 (rpsU); Similar to SP:P49225 PID:710340 percent identity: 52.54; identified by sequence similarity; putative; Belongs to the bacterial ribosomal protein bS21 family.
  
 
 0.984
tig
Trigger factor (tig); Involved in protein export. Acts as a chaperone by maintaining the newly synthesized protein in an open conformation. Functions as a peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (By similarity). Belongs to the FKBP-type PPIase family. Tig subfamily.
  
 
 0.961
rpmE
Ribosomal protein L31 (rpmE); Binds the 23S rRNA.
  
   0.957
rpsF
Ribosomal protein S6 (rpsF); Binds together with S18 to 16S ribosomal RNA.
   
   0.956
rpsP
Ribosomal protein S16 (rpsP); Similar to SP:P21474 PID:2309081 GB:AL009126 percent identity: 53.85; identified by sequence similarity; putative; Belongs to the bacterial ribosomal protein bS16 family.
 
   0.947
metG
methionyl-tRNA synthetase (metG); Is required not only for elongation of protein synthesis but also for the initiation of all mRNA translation through initiator tRNA(fMet) aminoacylation.
  
 
 0.946
rplU
Ribosomal protein L21 (rplU); This protein binds to 23S rRNA in the presence of protein L20; Belongs to the bacterial ribosomal protein bL21 family.
  
   0.943
rplM
Ribosomal protein L13 (rplM); This protein is one of the early assembly proteins of the 50S ribosomal subunit, although it is not seen to bind rRNA by itself. It is important during the early stages of 50S assembly.
 
   0.943
rpmB
Ribosomal protein L28 (rpmB); Similar to GP:1763103 percent identity: 100.00; identified by sequence similarity; putative; Belongs to the bacterial ribosomal protein bL28 family.
  
   0.942
