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.

mms6Bacterial magnetic particle specific iron-binding protein; Promotes the formation of magnetite in Fe(2+)-rich conditions, when magnetite is not readily formed. Binds Fe(3+) and Fe(2+) (Probable). May play a role in nucleation of magnetite crystal formation (Probable). May help control production of crystals with a specific morphology (Probable). Greatly improves the formation of magnetosome-like magnetite crystals in vitro. Isolated short protein, probably residues 75-133, binds up to 18 Fe(3+) per monomer and self-assembles into micelles about 21-26 nm in diameter; the C-terminal 21 [...] (157 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
mmsF
Hypothetical protein; Plays a major role in synthesis of cubooctahedral magnetite crystals by controlling crystal growth and morphology after nucleation. Has a partially redundant function with MamF (By similarity). When overexpressed in E.coli the soluble protein self assembles into shells of about 36 nm. This protein mediates the formation of magnetite nanoparticles from a solution of Fe(2+) and Fe(3+) sulfate; the crystals are larger and lack alternative iron oxide/oxyhydroxide species seen in the protein's absence.

mms13
Tightly bound bacterial magnetic particle protein; Probably involved in magnetite crystal growth (Probable). The lumenal domain may bind the magnetite crystals, affecting crystal size and shape (Probable).
     
 0.442
mms7
Tightly bound bacterial magnetic particle protein; Helps regulate magnetite crystal morphology, probably in a single growth axis. May help control oxido-reduction reactions surrounding the crystal lattice of the forming magnetite mineral (Probable). Probably binds Fe(2+), may play a role in nucleation of magnetite crystal formation (Probable). Expression in a deletion mutant restores growth of spherical (wild-type) magnetite crystals. Increased protein levels allow crystal growth in the minor axis but not increased numbers of crystals.
