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

mapZConserved hypothetical protein; Early cell division protein that marks the future cell division site and supports proper FtsZ ring positioning. (620 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
stu0234
Conserved hypothetical protein; Belongs to the methyltransferase superfamily.
       0.800
pknB
Protein kinase.
   
 
 0.658
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.
    
 
 0.551
snf
ATP-dependent RNA helicase.
       0.529
divIVA
Cell division initiation protein.
     
 0.513
gpsB
Conserved hypothetical protein; Divisome component that associates with the complex late in its assembly, after the Z-ring is formed, and is dependent on DivIC and PBP2B for its recruitment to the divisome. Together with EzrA, is a key component of the system that regulates PBP1 localization during cell cycle progression. Its main role could be the removal of PBP1 from the cell pole after pole maturation is completed. Also contributes to the recruitment of PBP1 to the division complex. Not essential for septum formation.
     
 0.506
recU
Recombination protein U; Endonuclease that resolves Holliday junction intermediates in genetic recombination. Cleaves mobile four-strand junctions by introducing symmetrical nicks in paired strands. Promotes annealing of linear ssDNA with homologous dsDNA. Required for DNA repair, homologous recombination and chromosome segregation; Belongs to the RecU family.
     
 0.491
dnaI
Primosome component (helicase loader) DnaI.
      
 0.489
mraW
S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methyltransferase, putative; Specifically methylates the N4 position of cytidine in position 1402 (C1402) of 16S rRNA.
      
 0.487
jag
Conserved hypothetical protein, Jag protein.
      
 0.469
