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

metE5-methyltetrahydropteroyltriglutamate-- homocysteine methyltransferase; Catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from 5- methyltetrahydrofolate to homocysteine resulting in methionine formation; Belongs to the vitamin-B12 independent methionine synthase family. (755 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
metK
S-adenosylmethionine synthetase; Catalyzes the formation of S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) from methionine and ATP. The overall synthetic reaction is composed of two sequential steps, AdoMet formation and the subsequent tripolyphosphate hydrolysis which occurs prior to release of AdoMet from the enzyme.

KGI53562.1
Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology; Belongs to the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase family.
  
 0.977
KGI53319.1
Catalyzes the formation of cystathionine from L-cysteine and O-succinyl-L-homoserine; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology.
  
 
 0.973
luxS
S-ribosylhomocysteinase; Involved in the synthesis of autoinducer 2 (AI-2) which is secreted by bacteria and is used to communicate both the cell density and the metabolic potential of the environment. The regulation of gene expression in response to changes in cell density is called quorum sensing. Catalyzes the transformation of S-ribosylhomocysteine (RHC) to homocysteine (HC) and 4,5-dihydroxy-2,3-pentadione (DPD). Belongs to the LuxS family.
    
 0.961
KGI55001.1
O-acetylhomoserine aminocarboxypropyltransferase; Catalyzes the formation of L-methionine and acetate from O-acetyl-L-homoserine and methanethiol; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology.
  
 
 0.928
metG
methionyl-tRNA synthetase; Is required not only for elongation of protein synthesis but also for the initiation of all mRNA translation through initiator tRNA(fMet) aminoacylation.
     
 0.907
KGI54225.1
Homoserine dehydrogenase; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology.
   
 
 0.895
KGI53668.1
Hypothetical protein; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology; Belongs to the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase family.
  
 0.863
thrB
Serine kinase; Catalyzes the ATP-dependent phosphorylation of L-homoserine to L-homoserine phosphate; Belongs to the GHMP kinase family. Homoserine kinase subfamily.
     
 0.854
KGI53656.1
Threonine dehydratase; Catalyzes the formation of 2-oxobutanoate from L-threonine; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology.
