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.

whiAConserved hypothetical protein; Involved in cell division and chromosome segregation. (328 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
rpoZ
Putative DNA-directed RNA polymerase omega chain; 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.
 
 
   0.932
rbpA
Conserved hypothetical protein; Binds to RNA polymerase (RNAP), stimulating transcription from principal, but not alternative sigma factor promoters. Belongs to the RNA polymerase-binding protein RbpA family.
  
 
 
 0.922
whiB-2
Putative regulatory protein; Acts as a transcriptional regulator. Probably redox- responsive. The apo- but not holo-form probably binds DNA.
  
 
 
 0.919
DIP1312
Conserved hypothetical protein; Required for morphogenesis under gluconeogenic growth conditions; Belongs to the gluconeogenesis factor family.
 
  
 0.878
rpoA
DNA-directed RNA polymerase alpha chain; DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates.
  
 
   0.872
ftsZ
Cell division protein; 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.
     
 0.868
rpoC
DNA-directed RNA polymerase beta' chain; DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates.
    
 
 0.845
DIP1313
Conserved hypothetical protein; Displays ATPase and GTPase activities.
 
  
 0.796
sigA
RNA polymerase sigma factor; 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.
  
 
 
 0.755
xerC
Putative integrase/recombinase; Site-specific tyrosine recombinase, which acts by catalyzing the cutting and rejoining of the recombining DNA molecules. The XerC- XerD complex is essential to convert dimers of the bacterial chromosome into monomers to permit their segregation at cell division. It also contributes to the segregational stability of plasmids.
