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

def-2Peptide 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. (178 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
rplT
Ribosomal protein L20; Binds directly to 23S ribosomal RNA and is necessary for the in vitro assembly process of the 50S ribosomal subunit. It is not involved in the protein synthesizing functions of that subunit.
 
 
 0.838
rplU
Ribosomal protein L21; This protein binds to 23S rRNA in the presence of protein L20; Belongs to the bacterial ribosomal protein bL21 family.
 
 
 0.832
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.
  
 
 0.818
rpsT
Ribosomal protein S20; Binds directly to 16S ribosomal RNA.
  
 
 0.811
rplI
Ribosomal protein L9; Binds to the 23S rRNA.
 
   0.809
rpsU
PFAM: ribosomal protein S21; KEGG: ajs:Ajs_2858 30S ribosomal protein S21; Belongs to the bacterial ribosomal protein bS21 family.
  
 
 0.806
rplY
Ribosomal 5S rRNA E-loop binding protein Ctc/L25/TL5; This is one of the proteins that binds to the 5S RNA in the ribosome where it forms part of the central protuberance. Belongs to the bacterial ribosomal protein bL25 family. CTC subfamily.
  
 
 
 0.803
rpsC
Ribosomal protein S3; Binds the lower part of the 30S subunit head. Binds mRNA in the 70S ribosome, positioning it for translation; Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS3 family.
  
 
 
 0.803
rpmA
PFAM: ribosomal protein L27; KEGG: mpt:Mpe_A0512 50S ribosomal protein L27; Belongs to the bacterial ribosomal protein bL27 family.
 
   0.799
rplD
Ribosomal protein L4/L1e; One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, this protein initially binds near the 5'-end of the 23S rRNA. It is important during the early stages of 50S assembly. It makes multiple contacts with different domains of the 23S rRNA in the assembled 50S subunit and ribosome.
