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.

mecBNegative regulator of genetic competence; Enables the recognition and targeting of unfolded and aggregated proteins to the ClpC protease or to other proteins involved in proteolysis. Acts negatively in the development of competence by binding ComK and recruiting it to the ClpCP protease. When overexpressed, inhibits sporulation. Also involved in Spx degradation by ClpC. (194 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
clpC
Class III stress response-related ATPase; Belongs to the ClpA/ClpB family.
    
 
 0.924
clpE
ATP-dependent Clp protease-like (class III stress gene) ClpE; Belongs to the ClpA/ClpB family.
    
 
 0.842
ylbO
DNA-binding domain protein.
  
     0.632
mcsB
McsB; Catalyzes the specific phosphorylation of arginine residues in a large number of proteins. Is part of the bacterial stress response system. Protein arginine phosphorylation has a physiologically important role and is involved in the regulation of many critical cellular processes, such as protein homeostasis, motility, competence, and stringent and stress responses, by regulating gene expression and protein activity.
      
 0.605
clpP
ATP-dependent Clp protease proteolytic subunit (class III heat-shock protein); Cleaves peptides in various proteins in a process that requires ATP hydrolysis. Has a chymotrypsin-like activity. Plays a major role in the degradation of misfolded proteins. ClpXP1 is involved in the complete degradation of the Site-2 clipped anti-sigma-W factor RsiW. This results in the release of SigW and the transcription activation of the genes under the control of the sigma-W factor (By similarity); Belongs to the peptidase S14 family.
   
 
 0.598
yabA
DnaA and DnaN interacting protein containing domain DUF972- YabA; Involved in initiation control of chromosome replication. Belongs to the YabA family.
  
     0.578
BL02228
Putative hydrolase.
  
    0.564
blaI
Putative beta-lactamase repressor protein.
      
 0.548
BL02225
FAD-dependent pyridine nucleotide-disulphide oxidoreductase.
       0.548
comK
Competence transcription factor ComK.
  
   
 0.535
