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

aldBAlpha-acetolactate decarboxylase. (239 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
als
Acetolactate synthase; Belongs to the TPP enzyme family.
 
 
 0.996
ilvB
Acetolactate synthase, large subunit.
  
 
 0.980
ilvN
Acetolactate synthase, small subunit.
     
 0.914
stu0909
Acetoin reductase, truncated; Truncated.
     
 0.912
pfl
Pyruvate formate-lyase.
      
 0.790
ilvC
Ketol-acid reductoisomerase; Involved in the biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA). Catalyzes an alkyl-migration followed by a ketol-acid reduction of (S)-2-acetolactate (S2AL) to yield (R)-2,3-dihydroxy-isovalerate. In the isomerase reaction, S2AL is rearranged via a Mg-dependent methyl migration to produce 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-ketobutyrate (HMKB). In the reductase reaction, this 2-ketoacid undergoes a metal-dependent reduction by NADPH to yield (R)-2,3-dihydroxy-isovalerate.
     
 0.560
pta
Phosphotransacetylase.
      
 0.515
nox
NADH oxidase (H2O-forming).
      
 0.451
ackA
Acetate kinase; Catalyzes the formation of acetyl phosphate from acetate and ATP. Can also catalyze the reverse reaction; Belongs to the acetokinase family.
      
 0.445
ldh
L-lactate dehydrogenase; Catalyzes the conversion of lactate to pyruvate. Belongs to the LDH/MDH superfamily. LDH family.
     
 0.433
