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

topoMDNA gyrase subunit A; Catalyzes the relaxation of negatively supercoiled DNA in the presence of ATP or dATP but not other nucleotides. Individual subunits have no activity. Not able to negatively supercoil DNA, it can however introduce positive supercoils in DNA. Relaxes positive supercoils in an ATP-dependent manner. Catenates and decatenates DNA. Generates dsDNA breaks in the presence of the quinolone antibiotic ciprofloxacin, showing it is a topoisomerase. (713 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
gyrB
DNA gyrase, B subunit; A type II topoisomerase that negatively supercoils closed circular double-stranded (ds) DNA in an ATP-dependent manner to modulate DNA topology and maintain chromosomes in an underwound state. Negative supercoiling favors strand separation, and DNA replication, transcription, recombination and repair, all of which involve strand separation. Also able to catalyze the interconversion of other topological isomers of dsDNA rings, including catenanes and knotted rings. Type II topoisomerases break and join 2 DNA strands simultaneously in an ATP-dependent manner.

topoN
DNA topoisomerase IV subunit B; Catalyzes the relaxation of negatively supercoiled DNA in the presence of ATP or dATP but not other nucleotides. Individual subunits have no activity. Not able to negatively supercoil DNA, it can however introduce positive supercoils in DNA. Relaxes positive supercoils in an ATP-dependent manner. Catenates and decatenates DNA. Generates dsDNA breaks in the presence of the quinolone antibiotic ciprofloxacin, showing it is a topoisomerase.

topA
DNA topoisomerase I; Releases the supercoiling and torsional tension of DNA, which is introduced during the DNA replication and transcription, by transiently cleaving and rejoining one strand of the DNA duplex. Introduces a single-strand break via transesterification at a target site in duplex DNA. The scissile phosphodiester is attacked by the catalytic tyrosine of the enzyme, resulting in the formation of a DNA- (5'-phosphotyrosyl)-enzyme intermediate and the expulsion of a 3'-OH DNA strand. The free DNA strand then undergoes passage around the unbroken strand, thus removing DNA sup [...]

mfpA
Conserved hypothetical protein; When present on multicopy plasmids confers increased resistance to fluoroquinolone antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin and sparfloxacin but not the quinolone nalidixic acid. Forms a structure that exhibits size, shape and electrostatic similarity to B-form DNA; it may bind to DNA gyrase which is postulated to protect it from fluoroquinolones (By similarity). Belongs to the pentapeptide repeat protein family.

Regulatory protein, putative; Identified by match to protein family HMM PF07905.

atpFH
ATP synthase delta chain; F(1)F(0) ATP synthase produces ATP from ADP in the presence of a proton or sodium gradient. F-type ATPases consist of two structural domains, F(1) containing the extramembraneous catalytic core and F(0) containing the membrane proton channel, linked together by a central stalk and a peripheral stalk. During catalysis, ATP synthesis in the catalytic domain of F(1) is coupled via a rotary mechanism of the central stalk subunits to proton translocation (By similarity).

recA
Protein RecA; Required for homologous recombination (HR) and the bypass of mutagenic DNA lesions (double strand breaks, DSB) by the SOS response. Can catalyze the hydrolysis of ATP in the presence of single-stranded DNA, the ATP-dependent uptake of single-stranded DNA by duplex DNA, and the ATP-dependent hybridization of homologous single-stranded DNAs. Numerous X-ray crystals have been resolved under different conditions which indicate the flexibility of the protein, essential to its function. Gln-196 contributes to this plasticity by acting as a switch residue, which transmits the ef [...]

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. This subunit often mutates to generate rifampicin (Rif) resistance. Interaction with RbpA partially restores Rif-inhibited transcription; once the subunit is Rif-resistant however RbpA no longer stimulates transcription.

lysX
lysyl-tRNA synthetase; Catalyzes the production of L-lysyl-tRNA(Lys)transfer and the transfer of a lysyl group from L-lysyl-tRNA(Lys) to membrane-bound phosphatidylglycerol (PG), which produces lysylphosphatidylglycerol (LPG), one of the components of the bacterial membrane with a positive net charge. LPG synthesis contributes to the resistance to cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs) and likely protects M.tuberculosis against the CAMPs produced by competiting microorganisms (bacteriocins). In fact, the modification of anionic phosphatidylglycerol with positively charged L-lysine res [...]
