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

bchCChlorophyll synthesis pathway, bchC; This protein catalyzes the penultimate step in bacteriochlorophyll a biosynthesis. (318 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
bchX
Chlorophyllide reductase, BchX subunit; Converts chlorophylls (Chl) into bacteriochlorophylls (BChl) by reducing ring B of the tetrapyrrole.
 
 
 0.999
bchZ
Putative chlorophyllide reductase, BchZ subunit; Converts chlorophylls (Chl) into bacteriochlorophylls (BChl) by reducing ring B of the tetrapyrrole; Belongs to the ChlB/BchB/BchZ family.
 
 
 0.998
bchY
Chlorophyllide reductase, BchY subunit; Converts chlorophylls (Chl) into bacteriochlorophylls (BChl) by reducing ring B of the tetrapyrrole.
 
 
 0.998
bchF
IMG reference gene:2512955291; PFAM: 2-vinyl bacteriochlorophyllide hydratase (BCHF); TIGRFAM: 2-vinyl bacteriochlorophyllide hydratase.
 
 
 0.997
bchG
Chlorophyll synthase; Catalyzes the esterification of bacteriochlorophyllide a by geranylgeraniol-PPi.
 
 
 0.992
crtF
hydroxyneurosporene-O-methyltransferase; Methyltransferase that mediates the O-methylation of 1- hydroxy carotenoids. Converts hydroxyneurosporene to methoxyneurosporene or demethylspheroidene to spheroidene. Also able to produce spirilloxanthin (By similarity).
  
 0.968
crtD
Methoxyneurosporene dehydrogenase; Catalyzes the introduction of C-3,4 double bonds into 1- hydroxyneurosporene (1-HO-Neu) to yield demethylspheroidene (DMS). It prefer the acyclic carotenoids such as 1-hydroxylycopene, and 1- hydroxy-gamma-carotene, whereas 1-hydroxy-3,4-didehydrolycopene and 1,1-dihydroxylycopene are much less effective.
 
  
 0.955
bchM
Mg-protoporphyrin IX methyltransferase; IMG reference gene:2512955296; PFAM: Methyltransferase small domain; Magnesium-protoporphyrin IX methyltransferase C-terminus; TIGRFAM: magnesium protoporphyrin O-methyltransferase.
 
 
 0.951
crtE
Farnesyl-diphosphate synthase; Catalyzes the condensation of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) and isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) to yield geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP) needed for biosynthesis of carotenoids and diterpenes. Belongs to the FPP/GGPP synthase family.
 
 
 0.941
bchH
Cobaltochelatase CobN subunit; Involved in bacteriochlorophyll pigment biosynthesis; introduces a magnesium ion into protoporphyrin IX to yield Mg- protoroporphyrin IX.
  
  
 0.937
