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

ctxBCholera enterotoxin, B subunit; The B subunit pentameric ring directs the A subunit to its target by binding to the GM1 gangliosides present on the surface of the intestinal epithelial cells. It can bind five GM1 gangliosides. It has no toxic activity by itself. (124 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ctxA
Cholera enterotoxin, A subunit; The A1 chain catalyzes the ADP-ribosylation of Gs alpha, a GTP-binding regulatory protein, to activate the adenylate cyclase. This leads to an overproduction of cAMP and eventually to a hypersecretion of chloride and bicarbonate followed by water, resulting in the characteristic cholera stool. The A2 chain tethers A1 to the pentameric ring.
   
 0.999
zot
Zona occludens toxin; Increases the permeability of the small intestine mucosa by affecting the structure of intercellular tight junctions (zonula occludens).
     
 0.759
ace
Accessory cholera enterotoxin; Increases short-circuit current in rabbit ileal tissue mounted in Ussing chambers, by increasing the potential difference. Cultures of V.cholerae containing the cloned ace gene cause fluid secretion in ligated rabbit ileal loops.
     
 0.671
cep
Colonization factor; Similar to; identified by sequence similarity; putative.
     
 0.668
VC_1460
Hypothetical protein; Identified by Glimmer2; putative.
     
 0.650
tcpA
Toxin co-regulated pilin; Constituent of pili, which may be involved in adhesion of V.cholerae to the host intestinal epithelium.
      
 0.613
toxR
Cholera toxin transcriptional activator; This transcription activator controls cholera toxin, pilus colonization factor and outer membrane protein expression in V.cholerae. It binds to the 5'-TTTTGAT-3' tandemly repeated DNA sequence in the cholera toxin promoter region. ToxS interacts with the C-terminal periplasmic domain of ToxR, stimulating its activity. It activates transcription at the promoters for tcpI and tcpA and this is presumably via ToxT.
      
 0.487
rtxC
RTX toxin activating protein; Involved in fatty acylation of the protoxin (RtxA) at two internal lysine residues, thereby converting it to the active toxin. The acyl donor is ACP (By similarity).
      
 0.487
hlyA
Haemolysin; Bacterial hemolysin that causes cytolysis by forming heptameric pores in target host membranes.
      
 0.469
ompW
Outer membrane protein OmpW; Similar to SP:P17266 PID:48376 PID:2199526; identified by sequence similarity; putative.
      
 0.469
