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

ubiEBifunctional demethylmenaquinone methyltransferase/2-methoxy-6-polyprenyl-1,4-benzoquinol methylase; Methyltransferase required for the conversion of demethylmenaquinol (DMKH2) to menaquinol (MKH2) and the conversion of 2-polyprenyl-6-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinol (DDMQH2) to 2-polyprenyl-3- methyl-6-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinol (DMQH2). (245 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
menA
1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoate octaprenyltransferase; Conversion of 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoate (DHNA) to demethylmenaquinone (DMK); Belongs to the MenA family. Type 1 subfamily.

OSI10797.1
Hypothetical protein; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology.
       0.773
ubiH_2
2-polyprenyl-6-methoxyphenol hydroxylase; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology.
  
  
 0.768
ubiH_1
Ubiquinone biosynthesis protein UbiH; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology.
  
  
 0.753
ubiF
Ubiquinone biosynthesis protein UbiH; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology.
  
  
 0.699
ubiG
Bifunctional 3-demethylubiquinol 3-O-methyltransferase/2-polyprenyl-6-hydroxyphenol methylase; O-methyltransferase that catalyzes the 2 O-methylation steps in the ubiquinone biosynthetic pathway; Belongs to the methyltransferase superfamily. UbiG/COQ3 family.
  
 0.689
zapA
Cell division protein ZapA; Activator of cell division through the inhibition of FtsZ GTPase activity, therefore promoting FtsZ assembly into bundles of protofilaments necessary for the formation of the division Z ring. It is recruited early at mid-cell but it is not essential for cell division.
      
 0.686
ubiA
4-hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase; Catalyzes the prenylation of para-hydroxybenzoate (PHB) with an all-trans polyprenyl group. Mediates the second step in the final reaction sequence of ubiquinone-8 (UQ-8) biosynthesis, which is the condensation of the polyisoprenoid side chain with PHB, generating the first membrane-bound Q intermediate 3-octaprenyl-4-hydroxybenzoate.
 
  
 0.613
ubiD
3-octaprenyl-4-hydroxybenzoate decarboxylase; Catalyzes the decarboxylation of 3-octaprenyl-4-hydroxy benzoate to 2-octaprenylphenol, an intermediate step in ubiquinone biosynthesis.
 
 
  
 0.577
luxS
S-ribosylhomocysteine lyase; 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.
