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

merTMerT mercuric transport protein. (116 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
merP
Mercuric transport periplasmic 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.
 
  
 0.981
merR
Mercuric resistance operon regulatory protein.
 
  
 0.943
merA
Mercuric reductase; Resistance to Hg(2+) in bacteria appears to be governed by a specialized system which includes mercuric reductase. MerA protein is responsible for volatilizing mercury as Hg(0). Belongs to the class-I pyridine nucleotide-disulfide oxidoreductase family.
 
  
 0.916
merD
Mercuric resistance operon coregulator.
 
  
 0.901
merC
MerC mercury transport protein.
     
 0.892
sodB
Superoxide dismutase; Destroys radicals which are normally produced within the cells and which are toxic to biological systems. Belongs to the iron/manganese superoxide dismutase family.
   
 
 0.649
ybeY
Hypothetical protein; Single strand-specific metallo-endoribonuclease involved in late-stage 70S ribosome quality control and in maturation of the 3' terminus of the 16S rRNA.
    
   0.622
ilvB
Acetolactate synthase large subunit.
   
  
 0.616
rpsQ
Small subunit ribosomal protein S17; One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds specifically to the 5'-end of 16S ribosomal RNA.
   
   0.600
ilvH
Acetolactate synthase small subunit.
      
 0.591
