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

dutProbable deoxyuridine triphosphatase; This enzyme is involved in nucleotide metabolism: it produces dUMP, the immediate precursor of thymidine nucleotides and it decreases the intracellular concentration of dUTP so that uracil cannot be incorporated into DNA; Belongs to the dUTPase family. (154 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ML1514
Putative mycobacteriophage protein; Catalyzes the reductive methylation of 2'-deoxyuridine-5'- monophosphate (dUMP) to 2'-deoxythymidine-5'-monophosphate (dTMP) while utilizing 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate (mTHF) as the methyl donor, and NADPH and FADH(2) as the reductant.
    
 0.988
thyA
Thymidylate synthase; Catalyzes the reductive methylation of 2'-deoxyuridine-5'- monophosphate (dUMP) to 2'-deoxythymidine-5'-monophosphate (dTMP) while utilizing 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate (mTHF) as the methyl donor and reductant in the reaction, yielding dihydrofolate (DHF) as a by- product. This enzymatic reaction provides an intracellular de novo source of dTMP, an essential precursor for DNA biosynthesis.
  
 0.958
ndk
Nucleoside diphosphate kinase; Major role in the synthesis of nucleoside triphosphates other than ATP. The ATP gamma phosphate is transferred to the NDP beta phosphate via a ping-pong mechanism, using a phosphorylated active-site intermediate; Belongs to the NDK family.
   
 
 0.944
tmk
Putative thymidylate kinase; Phosphorylation of dTMP to form dTDP in both de novo and salvage pathways of dTTP synthesis; Belongs to the thymidylate kinase family.
  
 
 0.934
ML2507
Probable deoxycytidine triphosphate deaminase; Bifunctional enzyme that catalyzes both the deamination of dCTP to dUTP and the hydrolysis of dUTP to dUMP without releasing the toxic dUTP intermediate.
    
 0.922
ML1029
Conserved hypothetical protein; Identical to the previously sequenced Mycobacterium leprae hypothetical protein TR:Q49993 (EMBL:U15181) (273 aa); Fasta score E(): 0, 99.6% identity in 273 aa overlap. Also highly similar to Mycobacterium tuberculosis hypothetical protein Rv2696c TR:O07198 (EMBL:Z96072) (259 aa); Fasta score E(): 0, 70.6% identity in 262 aa overlap.
       0.859
ML1027
Possible membrane protein; Identical to the previously sequenced Mycobacterium leprae hypothetical protein TR:Q49991 (EMBL:U15181) (157 aa); Fasta score E(): 0, 99.4% identity in 157 aa overlap. Also highly similar to proteins of unknown function from Mycobacterium tuberculosis Rv2698 TR:O07200 (EMBL:Z96072) (161 aa); Fasta score E(): 0, 78.9% identity in 161 aa overlap and Streptomyces coelicolor TR:O54132 (EMBL:AL021530) (154 aa); Fasta score E(): 1.1e-08, 33.6% identity in 149 aa overlap. Contains possible membrane spanning hydrophobic domains. Contains a probable helix-turn-helix m [...]

ML0269
Putative F420-dependent glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase; Catalyzes the coenzyme F420-dependent oxidation of glucose 6- phosphate (G6P) to 6-phosphogluconolactone. Appears to have a role in resistance to oxidative stress, via its consumption of G6P that serves as a source of reducing power to combat oxidative stress in mycobacteria.

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 [...]

nrdE
Ribonucleoside diphosphate reductase [alpha] chain; Provides the precursors necessary for DNA synthesis. Catalyzes the biosynthesis of deoxyribonucleotides from the corresponding ribonucleotides (By similarity).
