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

merTMercury ion transport protein; Function of strongly homologous gene; transporter. (123 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
merP
Periplasmic mercury ion binding protein; Involved in mercury resistance. Acts as a mercury scavenger that specifically binds to a mercuric ion in the periplasm and probably passes it to the cytoplasmic mercuric reductase MerA via the mercuric transport protein MerT.
 
  
 0.986
merR
Mercuric resistance operon regulatory protein; Function of homologous gene experimentally demonstrated in an other organism; regulator.
 
  
 0.972
NIDE0067
Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function.
 
     0.910
NIDE1742
Putative Multi-domain non-ribosomal peptide synthetase; Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; putative enzyme.
   
   0.826
ybeY
Conserved protein of unknown function, putative Metalloprotease; Single strand-specific metallo-endoribonuclease involved in late-stage 70S ribosome quality control and in maturation of the 3' terminus of the 16S rRNA.
    
   0.800
zitB
Zinc transporter ZitB; Function of homologous gene experimentally demonstrated in an other organism; transporter.
 
   
 0.787
arsR
Arsenical resistance operon repressor; Function of homologous gene experimentally demonstrated in an other organism; regulator.
  
  
 0.752
lpd
Dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase, E3 component of Pyruvate and 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complexes; Function of homologous gene experimentally demonstrated in an other organism; enzyme.
     
 0.694
cutA
Divalent-cation tolerance protein CutA; Function of homologous gene experimentally demonstrated in an other organism; factor.
      
 0.692
rpsQ
30S ribosomal protein S17; One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds specifically to the 5'-end of 16S ribosomal RNA.
   
   0.671
