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

estAEsterase. (260 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
bcaT
Branched chain amino acid aminotransferase.
   
  
 0.787
metB2
Cystathionine beta-lyase.
   
  
 0.764
stu1185
Proteinase.
       0.564
pepXP
X-prolyl dipeptidyl peptidase; Removes N-terminal dipeptides sequentially from polypeptides having unsubstituted N-termini provided that the penultimate residue is proline; Belongs to the peptidase S15 family.
 
   
 0.564
rnj
Metallo-beta-lactamase superfamily protein; An RNase that has 5'-3' exonuclease and possibly endonuclease activity. Involved in maturation of rRNA and in some organisms also mRNA maturation and/or decay.
       0.559
stu1184
Unknown protein.
       0.558
mprF
Conserved hypothetical, predicted membrane protein (TMS14); Catalyzes the transfer of a lysyl group from L-lysyl- tRNA(Lys) to membrane-bound phosphatidylglycerol (PG), which produces lysylphosphatidylglycerol (LPG), a major component of the bacterial membrane with a positive net charge. LPG synthesis contributes to bacterial virulence as it is involved in the resistance mechanism against cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMP) produces by the host's immune system (defensins, cathelicidins) and by the competing microorganisms.
