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

recFPutative DNA replication and SOS induction protein; The RecF protein is involved in DNA metabolism; it is required for DNA replication and normal SOS inducibility. RecF binds preferentially to single-stranded, linear DNA. It also seems to bind ATP (By similarity). (385 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
dnaN
Putative DNA polymerase III, [beta] subunit; Confers DNA tethering and processivity to DNA polymerases and other proteins. Acts as a clamp, forming a ring around DNA (a reaction catalyzed by the clamp-loading complex) which diffuses in an ATP- independent manner freely and bidirectionally along dsDNA. Initially characterized for its ability to contact the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase III (Pol III), a complex, multichain enzyme responsible for most of the replicative synthesis in bacteria; Pol III exhibits 3'-5' exonuclease proofreading activity. The beta chain is required for in [...]

gyrB
Putative DNA gyrase subunit B; A type II topoisomerase that negatively supercoils closed circular double-stranded (ds) DNA in an ATP-dependent manner to modulate DNA topology and maintain chromosomes in an underwound state. Negative supercoiling favors strand separation, and DNA replication, transcription, recombination and repair, all of which involve strand separation. Also able to catalyze the interconversion of other topological isomers of dsDNA rings, including catenanes and knotted rings. Type II topoisomerases break and join 2 DNA strands simultaneously in an ATP-dependent manner.
  
  
 0.955
recR
DNA repair protein; May play a role in DNA repair. It seems to be involved in an RecBC-independent recombinational process of DNA repair. It may act with RecF and RecO.
 
  
 0.925
dnaA
Putative chromosomal replication initiator protein; Plays an important role in the initiation and regulation of chromosomal replication. Binds to the origin of replication; it binds specifically double-stranded DNA at a 9 bp consensus (dnaA box): 5'- TTATC[CA]A[CA]A-3'. DnaA binds to ATP and to acidic phospholipids (By similarity).

rnpA
Ribonuclease P protein component; RNaseP catalyzes the removal of the 5'-leader sequence from pre-tRNA to produce the mature 5'-terminus. It can also cleave other RNA substrates such as 4.5S RNA. The protein component plays an auxiliary but essential role in vivo by binding to the 5'-leader sequence and broadening the substrate specificity of the ribozyme.

ML0004
Similar to hypothetical proteins from mycobacteria e.g. M. tuberculosis Rv0004, ypothetical protein, TR:P71573 (EMBL:AL123456) (187 aa); Fasta score E(): 0, 77.2% identity in 167 aa overlap. Previously sequenced as TR:Q50181 (EMBL:Z70722) (199 aa); Fasta score E(): 0, 99.5% identity in 187 aa overlap; Belongs to the UPF0232 family.

ML0633
Conserved hypothetical protein; Involved in DNA repair and RecF pathway recombination.
    
 
 0.803
recA
RecA protein; Can catalyze the hydrolysis of ATP in the presence of single- stranded DNA, the ATP-dependent uptake of single-stranded DNA by duplex DNA, and the ATP-dependent hybridization of homologous single-stranded DNAs. It interacts with LexA causing its activation and leading to its autocatalytic cleavage (By similarity).

gltB
Similar to M. tuberculosis Rv3859c, putative ferredoxin-dependent glutamate synthase, TR:P96218 (EMBL:Al123456) (1527 aa); Fasta score E(): 0, 90.2% identity in 1527 aa overlap and to Synechocystis sp. gltB, ferredoxin-dependent glutamate synthase 1, SW:GLTB_SYNY3 (P55037) (1550 aa); Fasta score E(): 0, 57.2% identity in 1525 aa overlap. Contains Pfam match to entry PF01493 DUF14, Domain of unknown function. Contains Pfam match to entry PF01645 Glu_synthase, Conserved region in glutamate synthase. Contains PS00095 C-5 cytosine-specific DNA methylases C-terminal signature.
