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

Score
lexATranscriptional repressor; Represses a number of genes involved in the response to DNA damage (SOS response), including recA and lexA. In the presence of single-stranded DNA, RecA interacts with LexA causing an autocatalytic cleavage which disrupts the DNA-binding part of LexA, leading to derepression of the SOS regulon and eventually DNA repair. (237 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
recA
Recombinase A; 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. It interacts with LexA causing its activation and leading to its autocatalytic cleavage; Belongs to the RecA family.

clpX
Putative ATPase; ATP-dependent specificity component of the Clp protease. It directs the protease to specific substrates. Can perform chaperone functions in the absence of ClpP.
  
   
 0.910
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.
      
 0.866
dinB
DNA polymerase IV; Poorly processive, error-prone DNA polymerase involved in untargeted mutagenesis. Copies undamaged DNA at stalled replication forks, which arise in vivo from mismatched or misaligned primer ends. These misaligned primers can be extended by PolIV. Exhibits no 3'-5' exonuclease (proofreading) activity. May be involved in translesional synthesis, in conjunction with the beta clamp from PolIII.
 
 
 0.855
argR
Arginine repressor; Regulates arginine biosynthesis genes.

DIP1871
Similar to Neurospora crassa phytoene dehydrogenase Al-1 SW:CRTI_NEUCR (P21334) (595 aa) fasta scores: E(): 1.6e-33, 29.77% id in 524 aa, and to Corynebacterium glutamicum phytoene desaturase CrtI TR:AAK64299 (EMBL:AF159510) (549 aa) fasta scores: E(): 5.6e-107, 54.59% id in 511 aa.
      
 0.744
hrcA
Putative heat-inducible transcription repressor; Negative regulator of class I heat shock genes (grpE-dnaK- dnaJ and groELS operons). Prevents heat-shock induction of these operons.
  
   
 0.705
ag84
Antigen 84; Similar to Corynebacterium glutamicum antigen 84 Wag31 TR:Q9L4H7 (EMBL:AJ242594) (365 aa) fasta scores: E(): 1.7e-21, 60.66% id in 361 aa, and to Mycobacterium leprae antigen 84 Ag84 or ML0922 SW:AG84_MYCLE (P46815) (266 aa) fasta scores: E(): 1.8e-14, 43.97% id in 332 aa, and to Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigen 84 Ag84 or Wag31 or Rv2145c or MT2204 or MTCY270.23 SW:AG84_MYCTU (P46816) (260 aa) fasta scores: E(): 6.3e-14, 44.27% id in 332 aa. Note: Contains three putative colied-coil regions (residues 84..131, 193..235, 248..273).

pcrA
Similar to Mycobacterium leprae ATP-dependent DNA helicase PcrA or UvrD or ML0153 SW:PCRA_MYCLE (Q9CD72) (778 aa) fasta scores: E(): 5.7e-165, 59.08% id in 804 aa, and to Bacillus subtilis ATP-dependent DNA helicase PcrA SW:PCRA_BACSU (O34580) (739 aa) fasta scores: E(): 4.1e-80, 42.76% id in 802 aa.

uvrC
Putative excinuclease ABC subunit C; The UvrABC repair system catalyzes the recognition and processing of DNA lesions. UvrC both incises the 5' and 3' sides of the lesion. The N-terminal half is responsible for the 3' incision and the C-terminal half is responsible for the 5' incision.
