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

infBTranslation initiation factor eaIF-5B; Function in general translation initiation by promoting the binding of the formylmethionine-tRNA to ribosomes. Seems to function along with eIF-2. (598 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
rpl2
LSU ribosomal protein L2P; One of the primary rRNA binding proteins. Required for association of the 30S and 50S subunits to form the 70S ribosome, for tRNA binding and peptide bond formation. It has been suggested to have peptidyltransferase activity; this is somewhat controversial. Makes several contacts with the 16S rRNA in the 70S ribosome. Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL2 family.
 
 0.999
rpl15
LSU ribosomal protein L15P; Binds to the 23S rRNA; Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL15 family.
 
 0.998
rps5
SSU ribosomal protein S5P; With S4 and S12 plays an important role in translational accuracy.
 
 0.998
rps3
SSU ribosomal protein S3P; Binds the lower part of the 30S subunit head. Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS3 family.
 
 
 0.998
rps11
SSU ribosomal protein S11P; Located on the platform of the 30S subunit. Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS11 family.
 
 0.998
rps4
SSU ribosomal protein S4P; One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds directly to 16S rRNA where it nucleates assembly of the body of the 30S subunit.
 
 
 0.998
rps2
PFAM: ribosomal protein S2; KEGG: mmp:MMP0667 SSU ribosomal protein S2; Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS2 family.
 
 0.998
rpl5
LSU ribosomal protein L5P; This is 1 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. In the 70S ribosome it contacts protein S13 of the 30S subunit (bridge B1b), connecting the 2 subunits; this bridge is implicated in subunit movement. May contact the P site tRNA; the 5S rRNA and some of its associated proteins might help stabilize positioning of ribosome-bound tRNAs.
 
 
 0.997
rpl6
LSU ribosomal protein L6P; This protein binds to the 23S rRNA, and is important in its secondary structure. It is located near the subunit interface in the base of the L7/L12 stalk, and near the tRNA binding site of the peptidyltransferase center; Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL6 family.
 
 
 0.996
rps19
SSU ribosomal protein S19P; Protein S19 forms a complex with S13 that binds strongly to the 16S ribosomal RNA.
