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

defAPolypeptide deformylase; Removes the formyl group from the N-terminal Met of newly synthesized proteins; Belongs to the polypeptide deformylase family. (136 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
pepM
Methionine aminopeptidase; Removes the N-terminal methionine from nascent proteins. The N-terminal methionine is often cleaved when the second residue in the primary sequence is small and uncharged (Met-Ala-, Cys, Gly, Pro, Ser, Thr, or Val). Requires deformylation of the N(alpha)-formylated initiator methionine before it can be hydrolyzed; Belongs to the peptidase M24A family. Methionine aminopeptidase type 1 subfamily.
  
 
 0.883
ropA
Trigger factor (prolyl isomerase); Involved in protein export. Acts as a chaperone by maintaining the newly synthesized protein in an open conformation. Functions as a peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase; Belongs to the FKBP-type PPIase family. Tig subfamily.
  
 
 0.755
rpsT
30S ribosomal protein S20; Binds directly to 16S ribosomal RNA.
  
 
 0.746
rpsU
30S ribosomal protein S21; Belongs to the bacterial ribosomal protein bS21 family.
  
 
 0.743
rplU
50S ribosomal protein L21; This protein binds to 23S rRNA in the presence of protein L20; Belongs to the bacterial ribosomal protein bL21 family.
  
 
 0.741
rplV
50S ribosomal protein L22; This protein binds specifically to 23S rRNA; its binding is stimulated by other ribosomal proteins, e.g. L4, L17, and L20. It is important during the early stages of 50S assembly. It makes multiple contacts with different domains of the 23S rRNA in the assembled 50S subunit and ribosome (By similarity).
    
   0.731
rplQ
50S ribosomal protein L17.
    
   0.724
rpsP
30S ribosomal protein S16; Belongs to the bacterial ribosomal protein bS16 family.
  
   0.722
rplM
50S ribosomal protein L13; This protein is one of the early assembly proteins of the 50S ribosomal subunit, although it is not seen to bind rRNA by itself. It is important during the early stages of 50S assembly.
  
   0.721
rpsI
30S ribosomal protein S9; Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS9 family.
  
   0.720
