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

rpoBDNA-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. (1169 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
rpoC
DNA-directed RNA polymerase, beta' subunit; DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates.
 0.999
rpoA
DNA-directed RNA polymerase, alpha subunit; DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates.
 
 0.999
rpoZ
DNA-directed RNA polymerase, omega subunit; Promotes RNA polymerase assembly. Latches the N- and C- terminal regions of the beta' subunit thereby facilitating its interaction with the beta and alpha subunits.
  
 0.999
carD
Transcriptional regulator, CarD family protein; Controls rRNA transcription by binding to the RNA polymerase (RNAP). Required for the stringent response to starvation, oxidative and genotoxic stresses as well as control of rRNA under normal growth conditions.
   
 
 0.999
sigA
Sigma factor MysA; Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. This sigma factor is the primary sigma factor during exponential growth.
 
 
 0.998
rpsL
Ribosomal protein S12; With S4 and S5 plays an important role in translational accuracy.
 
 
 0.997
rplK
Ribosomal protein L11; Forms part of the ribosomal stalk which helps the ribosome interact with GTP-bound translation factors.
 
 
 0.995
rbpA
Conserved hypothetical protein; Binds to RNA polymerase (RNAP), probably stimulating transcriptions from principal, but not alternative sigma factor promoters (By similarity). Partially restores transcription in the presence of rifampicin (Rif) in vitro; overexpression leads to an increase in the Rif tolerance in vivo, with smaller colonies. Seems to act by removing Rif from its binding site and preventing its further binding. No longer stimulates transcription in Rif-resistant RNA polymerase (with mutations in rpoB).
   
 
 0.995
rpsJ
Ribosomal protein S10; Involved in the binding of tRNA to the ribosomes. Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS10 family.
 
 
 0.994
rplD
Ribosomal protein L4/L1 family protein; One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, this protein initially binds near the 5'-end of the 23S rRNA. It is important during the early stages of 50S assembly. It makes multiple contacts with different domains of the 23S rRNA in the assembled 50S subunit and ribosome.
