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

araDL-ribulose-5-phosphate 4-epimerase; Involved in the degradation of L-arabinose. Catalyzes the interconversion of L-ribulose 5-phosphate (LRu5P) and D- xylulose 5-phosphate (D-Xu5P) via a retroaldol/aldol mechanism (carbon- carbon bond cleavage analogous to a class II aldolase reaction). (231 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
araA
L-arabinose isomerase; Catalyzes the conversion of L-arabinose to L-ribulose.
 
 0.999
araB
L-ribulokinase; Protein involved in carbohydrate catabolic process; Belongs to the ribulokinase family.
 
 
 0.999
xylB
Xylulokinase; Catalyzes the phosphorylation of D-xylulose to D-xylulose 5- phosphate. Also catalyzes the phosphorylation of 1- deoxy-D-xylulose to 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate, with lower efficiency. Can also use D-ribulose, xylitol and D- arabitol, but D-xylulose is preferred over the other substrates. Has a weak substrate-independent Mg-ATP-hydrolyzing activity ; Belongs to the FGGY kinase family.
  
 
 0.983
ulaE
L-xylulose 5-phosphate 3-epimerase; Catalyzes the isomerization of L-xylulose-5-phosphate to L- ribulose-5-phosphate. Is involved in the anaerobic L-ascorbate utilization; Belongs to the L-ribulose-5-phosphate 3-epimerase family.
 
 0.956
sgbU
Putative L-xylulose 5-phosphate 3-epimerase; Catalyzes the isomerization of L-xylulose-5-phosphate to L- ribulose-5-phosphate (Potential). May be involved in the utilization of 2,3-diketo-L-gulonate; Belongs to the L-ribulose-5-phosphate 3-epimerase family.
 
 0.950
rhaB
Rhamnulokinase; Involved in the catabolism of L-rhamnose (6-deoxy-L-mannose). It could also play a role in the metabolism of some rare sugars such as L-fructose. Catalyzes the transfer of the gamma-phosphate group from ATP to the 1-hydroxyl group of L-rhamnulose to yield L-rhamnulose 1- phosphate. Uridine triphosphate (UTP), cytidine 5-triphosphate (CTP), guanosine 5-triphosphate (GTP), and thymidine triphosphate (TTP) also can act as phosphoryl donors. It can also phosphorylate L-fuculose and L-xylulose. Belongs to the rhamnulokinase family.
  
  
 0.940
rhaD
Rhamnulose-1-phosphate aldolase; Catalyzes the reversible cleavage of L-rhamnulose-1-phosphate to dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and L-lactaldehyde. Also catalyzes the dephosphorylation of phospho- serine in vitro ; Belongs to the aldolase class II family. RhaD subfamily.
   
  
 0.938
araE
Arabinose transporter; Uptake of arabinose across the boundary membrane with the concomitant transport of protons into the cell (symport system).
   
  
 0.935
rpe
D-ribulose-5-phosphate 3-epimerase; Catalyzes the reversible epimerization of D-ribulose 5- phosphate to D-xylulose 5-phosphate.
     
 0.926
sgbE
L-ribulose-5-phosphate 4-epimerase; Catalyzes the interconversion of L-ribulose 5-phosphate (LRu5P) and D-xylulose 5-phosphate (D-Xu5P) via a retroaldol/aldol mechanism (carbon-carbon bond cleavage analogous to a class II aldolase reaction). May be involved in the utilization of 2,3-diketo-L-gulonate.
