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

def2Polypeptide 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. Belongs to the polypeptide deformylase family. (183 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
rpsP
30S ribosomal protein S16; Belongs to the bacterial ribosomal protein bS16 family.
 
   0.821
tig
Trigger factor; 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.
  
 
 0.808
rplR
50S ribosomal protein L18; This is one of the proteins that binds and probably mediates the attachment of the 5S RNA into the large ribosomal subunit, where it forms part of the central protuberance.
  
 
   0.802
rpsT
30S ribosomal protein S20; Binds directly to 16S ribosomal RNA.
  
 
 0.801
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.
  
   0.799
rpsU
30S ribosomal protein S21; Belongs to the bacterial ribosomal protein bS21 family.
  
 
 0.798
rpmB
50S ribosomal protein L28; Belongs to the bacterial ribosomal protein bL28 family.
  
   0.786
rplM
50S ribosomal protein L13; This protein is one of the early assembly proteins of the 50S ribosomal subunit, although it is not seen to bind rRNA by itself. It is important during the early stages of 50S assembly.
  
   0.786
rpsB
30S ribosomal protein S2; Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS2 family.
  
   0.784
rpsI
30S ribosomal protein S9; Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS9 family.
  
   0.784
