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

hfqRNA-binding protein Hfq; RNA chaperone that binds small regulatory RNA (sRNAs) and mRNAs to facilitate mRNA translational regulation in response to envelope stress, environmental stress and changes in metabolite concentrations. Also binds with high specificity to tRNAs. Belongs to the Hfq family. (87 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
hflX
GTPase HflX; GTPase that associates with the 50S ribosomal subunit and may have a role during protein synthesis or ribosome biogenesis. Belongs to the TRAFAC class OBG-HflX-like GTPase superfamily. HflX GTPase family.
 
  
 0.933
hflC
Modulator of FtsH protease HflC; HflC and HflK could regulate a protease.
    
 0.916
hflK_2
Modulator of FtsH protease HflK; HflC and HflK could encode or regulate a protease.
    
 0.914
exoA
Exodeoxyribonuclease.
    
 
 0.877
pcnB_1
Poly(A) polymerase I precursor; Adds poly(A) tail to the 3' end of many RNAs, which usually targets these RNAs for decay. Plays a significant role in the global control of gene expression, through influencing the rate of transcript degradation, and in the general RNA quality control. Belongs to the tRNA nucleotidyltransferase/poly(A) polymerase family.
    
 
 0.867
pnp
Polyribonucleotide nucleotidyltransferase; Involved in mRNA degradation. Catalyzes the phosphorolysis of single-stranded polyribonucleotides processively in the 3'- to 5'- direction.
    
 
 0.865
ihfA
Integration host factor subunit alpha; This protein is one of the two subunits of integration host factor, a specific DNA-binding protein that functions in genetic recombination as well as in transcriptional and translational control. Belongs to the bacterial histone-like protein family.
   
  
 0.832
katA_1
Catalase.
    
 
 0.829
katA_2
Catalase.
    
 
 0.829
dksA
RNA polymerase-binding transcription factor DksA; Transcription factor that acts by binding directly to the RNA polymerase (RNAP). Required for negative regulation of rRNA expression and positive regulation of several amino acid biosynthesis promoters. Also required for regulation of fis expression.
