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.

mscLLarge-conductance mechanosensitive channel; Channel that opens in response to stretch forces in the membrane lipid bilayer. May participate in the regulation of osmotic pressure changes within the cell. (159 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ribE
Riboflavin synthase, beta chain; Catalyzes the formation of 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine by condensation of 5-amino-6-(D-ribitylamino)uracil with 3,4-dihydroxy-2- butanone 4-phosphate. This is the penultimate step in the biosynthesis of riboflavin.

ribH2
Putative 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine synthase; Catalyzes the formation of 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine by condensation of 5-amino-6-(D-ribitylamino)uracil with 3,4-dihydroxy-2- butanone 4-phosphate. This is the penultimate step in the biosynthesis of riboflavin.

metK
Methionine S-adenosyltransferase; Observed by proteomics; Citation: Proteomics from VerBerkmoes et al. (2003) unpublished; Belongs to the AdoMet synthase family.
 
    0.852
SmpB
Small protein B; Required for rescue of stalled ribosomes mediated by trans- translation. Binds to transfer-messenger RNA (tmRNA), required for stable association of tmRNA with ribosomes. tmRNA and SmpB together mimic tRNA shape, replacing the anticodon stem-loop with SmpB. tmRNA is encoded by the ssrA gene; the 2 termini fold to resemble tRNA(Ala) and it encodes a 'tag peptide', a short internal open reading frame. During trans-translation Ala-aminoacylated tmRNA acts like a tRNA, entering the A-site of stalled ribosomes, displacing the stalled mRNA. The ribosome then switches to tran [...]

dapA2-2
Dihydrodipicolinate synthase; Catalyzes the condensation of (S)-aspartate-beta-semialdehyde [(S)-ASA] and pyruvate to 4-hydroxy-tetrahydrodipicolinate (HTPA).
       0.775
RPA2684
Conserved unknown protein; Observed by proteomics; Citation: Proteomics from VerBerkmoes et al. (2003) unpublished.
  
  
 0.692
aqpZ
Aquaporin Z (water channel); Channel that permits osmotically driven movement of water in both directions. It is involved in the osmoregulation and in the maintenance of cell turgor during volume expansion in rapidly growing cells. It mediates rapid entry or exit of water in response to abrupt changes in osmolarity; Belongs to the MIP/aquaporin (TC 1.A.8) family.
     
 0.687
sodB
Superoxide dismutase; Destroys radicals which are normally produced within the cells and which are toxic to biological systems. Belongs to the iron/manganese superoxide dismutase family.
  
  
 0.638
RPA2689
Possible thiol-specific antioxidant related protein; Observed by proteomics; Citation: Proteomics from VerBerkmoes et al. (2003) unpublished.
       0.613
carB
Carbamoyl-phosphate synthase large subunit; Observed by proteomics; Citation: Proteomics from VerBerkmoes et al. (2003) unpublished; Belongs to the CarB family.
