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

clpEATP-dependent Clp protease-like (class III stress gene) ClpE; Belongs to the ClpA/ClpB family. (698 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
dnaK
Class I heat-shock protein (molecular chaperone); Acts as a chaperone; Belongs to the heat shock protein 70 family.
 
 
 0.980
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.
  
 
 0.922
mecA
Adaptor protein MecA; 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.

grpE
Heat-shock protein; Participates actively in the response to hyperosmotic and heat shock by preventing the aggregation of stress-denatured proteins, in association with DnaK and GrpE. It is the nucleotide exchange factor for DnaK and may function as a thermosensor. Unfolded proteins bind initially to DnaJ; upon interaction with the DnaJ-bound protein, DnaK hydrolyzes its bound ATP, resulting in the formation of a stable complex. GrpE releases ADP from DnaK; ATP binding to DnaK triggers the release of the substrate protein, thus completing the reaction cycle. Several rounds of ATP-depen [...]

dnaJ
Heat-shock protein; Participates actively in the response to hyperosmotic and heat shock by preventing the aggregation of stress-denatured proteins and by disaggregating proteins, also in an autonomous, DnaK-independent fashion. Unfolded proteins bind initially to DnaJ; upon interaction with the DnaJ-bound protein, DnaK hydrolyzes its bound ATP, resulting in the formation of a stable complex. GrpE releases ADP from DnaK; ATP binding to DnaK triggers the release of the substrate protein, thus completing the reaction cycle. Several rounds of ATP-dependent interactions between DnaJ, DnaK [...]

BL00880
ATP-dependent Clp protease proteolytic subunit (class III heat-shock protein); Belongs to the peptidase S14 family.
  
 
 0.838
BL03503
ATP-dependent protease proteolytic subunit (class III heat-shock protein); Belongs to the peptidase S14 family.
  
 
 0.838
clpP2
ATP-dependentprotease 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. Belongs to the peptidase S14 family.
  
 
 0.837
groES
Class I heat-shock protein (chaperonin); Binds to Cpn60 in the presence of Mg-ATP and suppresses the ATPase activity of the latter.
 
 
 0.825
tepA
Translocation-enhancing protein.
