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

defPolypeptide deformylase; Removes the formyl group from the N-terminal Met of newly synthesized proteins. Requires at least a dipeptide for an efficient rate of reaction. N-terminal L-methionine is a prerequisite for activity but the enzyme has broad specificity at other positions (By similarity). (197 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
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).

rplQ
Similar to M. tuberculosis 50S ribosomal protein L17 rplQ Rv3456c SW:RL17_MYCTU (O06323) (180 aa); Fasta score E(): 0, 81.9% identity in 171 aa overlap. Contains Pfam match to entry PF01196 Ribosomal_L17, Ribosomal protein L17.
   
   0.926
mapB
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.
  
 
 0.864
rpsF
30S ribosomal protein S6; Binds together with S18 to 16S ribosomal RNA.
   
   0.858
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.
 
   0.842
ML1481
Possible molecular chaperone; 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.

mapA
Probable 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.

rpsP
Highly similar to many 30s ribosomal proteins (S16) including: Bacillus subtilis SW:RS16_BACSU (P21474) (89 aa); Fasta score E(): 2.1e-10, 45.1% identity in 82 aa overlap and Mycobacterium tuberculosis SW:RS16_MYCTU (Q10795) (162 aa); Fasta score E(): 0, 82.5% identity in 160 aa overlap. Contains Pfam match to entry PF00886 Ribosomal_S16, Ribosomal protein S16. Contains PS00732 Ribosomal protein S16 signature; Belongs to the bacterial ribosomal protein bS16 family.
 
   0.835
rplI
50S ribosomal protein L9; Binds to the 23S rRNA.
 
   0.828
rpsT
30S ribosomal protein S20; Binds directly to 16S ribosomal RNA.
