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

pomZParA family protein; Spatial regulator of cell division that is involved in identifying the incipient division site, recruiting FtsZ to the division site and stabilizing the Z-ring. Binds ATP and GTP. Belongs to the ParA family. (319 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
MXAN_7476
Identified by match to protein family HMM PF02195; match to protein family HMM TIGR00180; Belongs to the ParB family.

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.

MXAN_0636
Hypothetical protein; Identified by Glimmer2; putative.
  
  
 0.904
dnaA
Chromosomal replication initiator protein DnaA; Plays an important role in the initiation and regulation of chromosomal replication. Binds to the origin of replication; it binds specifically double-stranded DNA at a 9 bp consensus (dnaA box): 5'- TTATC[CA]A[CA]A-3'. DnaA binds to ATP and to acidic phospholipids. Belongs to the DnaA family.

MXAN_4634
ParB-like nuclease domain protein; Identified by match to protein family HMM PF02195.
  
 
 0.672
ftsA
Cell division protein FtsA; Cell division protein that is involved in the assembly of the Z ring. May serve as a membrane anchor for the Z ring. Belongs to the FtsA/MreB family.

divIVA
Cell-division initiation protein DivIVA; Identified by similarity to GB:CAB06818.1; match to protein family HMM PF05103.
