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

zapCConserved hypothetical protein; Contributes to the efficiency of the cell division process by stabilizing the polymeric form of the cell division protein FtsZ. Acts by promoting interactions between FtsZ protofilaments and suppressing the GTPase activity of FtsZ. (180 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ftsZ
Cell division protein FtsZ; Essential cell division protein that forms a contractile ring structure (Z ring) at the future cell division site. The regulation of the ring assembly controls the timing and the location of cell division. One of the functions of the FtsZ ring is to recruit other cell division proteins to the septum to produce a new cell wall between the dividing cells. Binds GTP and shows GTPase activity.
    
 
 0.880
zapB
Conserved hypothetical protein; Non-essential, abundant cell division factor that is required for proper Z-ring formation. It is recruited early to the divisome by direct interaction with FtsZ, stimulating Z-ring assembly and thereby promoting cell division earlier in the cell cycle. Its recruitment to the Z-ring requires functional FtsA or ZipA.
  
   
 0.851
vibB
Vibriobactin-specific isochorismatase; Involved in the biosynthesis of the catechol siderophore vibriobactin. Vibriobactin is a chelating compound involved in transporting iron from the bacterial environment into the cell cytoplasm; Belongs to the isochorismatase family.
    
   0.815
crl
Transcriptional regulator Crl; Binds to the sigma-S subunit of RNA polymerase, activating expression of sigma-S-regulated genes. Stimulates RNA polymerase holoenzyme formation and may bind to several other sigma factors, such as sigma-70 and sigma-32; Belongs to the Crl family.
  
     0.765
bamC
Lipoprotein-34 NlpB; Part of the outer membrane protein assembly complex, which is involved in assembly and insertion of beta-barrel proteins into the outer membrane.
  
     0.748
VC_2473
Conserved hypothetical protein; Identified by Glimmer2; putative.
  
     0.748
lapA
Conserved hypothetical protein; Involved in the assembly of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Belongs to the LapA family.
  
     0.746
zapD
Conserved hypothetical protein; Cell division factor that enhances FtsZ-ring assembly. Directly interacts with FtsZ and promotes bundling of FtsZ protofilaments, with a reduction in FtsZ GTPase activity.
  
   
 0.745
seqA
seqA protein; Negative regulator of replication initiation, which contributes to regulation of DNA replication and ensures that replication initiation occurs exactly once per chromosome per cell cycle. Binds to pairs of hemimethylated GATC sequences in the oriC region, thus preventing assembly of replication proteins and re- initiation at newly replicated origins. Repression is relieved when the region becomes fully methylated.
  
     0.740
rraB
Conserved hypothetical protein; Globally modulates RNA abundance by binding to RNase E (Rne) and regulating its endonucleolytic activity. Can modulate Rne action in a substrate-dependent manner by altering the composition of the degradosome.
