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

infBTranslation initiation factor 2 (infB); One of the essential components for the initiation of protein synthesis. Protects formylmethionyl-tRNA from spontaneous hydrolysis and promotes its binding to the 30S ribosomal subunits. Also involved in the hydrolysis of GTP during the formation of the 70S ribosomal complex (By similarity); Belongs to the TRAFAC class translation factor GTPase superfamily. Classic translation factor GTPase family. IF-2 subfamily. (842 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
rplA
Ribosomal protein L1 (rplA); Binds directly to 23S rRNA. The L1 stalk is quite mobile in the ribosome, and is involved in E site tRNA release.
 
 0.996
rpsC
Ribosomal protein S3 (rpsC); Binds the lower part of the 30S subunit head. Binds mRNA in the 70S ribosome, positioning it for translation; Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS3 family.
   
 
 0.995
rplF
Ribosomal protein L6 (rplF); This protein binds to the 23S rRNA, and is important in its secondary structure. It is located near the subunit interface in the base of the L7/L12 stalk, and near the tRNA binding site of the peptidyltransferase center; Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL6 family.
   
 
 0.995
rpsE
Ribosomal protein S5 (rpsE); With S4 and S12 plays an important role in translational accuracy; Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS5 family.
  
 0.995
rplK
Ribosomal protein L11 (rplK); Forms part of the ribosomal stalk which helps the ribosome interact with GTP-bound translation factors.
  
 0.995
rpsB
Ribosomal protein S2 (rpsB); Similar to GB:AE000783 percent identity: 58.75; identified by sequence similarity; putative; Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS2 family.
  
 0.995
rplC
Ribosomal protein L3 (rplC); One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds directly near the 3'-end of the 23S rRNA, where it nucleates assembly of the 50S subunit; Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL3 family.
   
 0.994
rplB
Ribosomal protein L2 (rplB); One of the primary rRNA binding proteins. Required for association of the 30S and 50S subunits to form the 70S ribosome, for tRNA binding and peptide bond formation. It has been suggested to have peptidyltransferase activity; this is somewhat controversial. Makes several contacts with the 16S rRNA in the 70S ribosome. Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL2 family.
   
 0.994
rplP
Ribosomal protein L16 (rplP); Binds 23S rRNA and is also seen to make contacts with the A and possibly P site tRNAs; Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL16 family.
   
 0.994
rplR
Ribosomal protein L18 (rplR); This is one of the proteins that binds and probably mediates the attachment of the 5S RNA into the large ribosomal subunit, where it forms part of the central protuberance.
   
 
 0.994
