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

speDS-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase; Catalyzes the decarboxylation of S-adenosylmethionine to S- adenosylmethioninamine (dcAdoMet), the propylamine donor required for the synthesis of the polyamines spermine and spermidine from the diamine putrescine. (264 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
speE
Spermidine synthase (putrescine aminopropyltransferase); Involved in the biosynthesis of polyamines which play a significant role in the structural and functional organization in the chromoid of E.coli by compacting DNA and neutralizing negative charges. Catalyzes the irreversible transfer (ping-pong mechanism) of a propylamine group from the amino donor S-adenosylmethioninamine (decarboxy-AdoMet) to putrescine (1,4-diaminobutane) to yield spermidine. Cadaverine (1,5-diaminopentane) and spermidine can also be used as the propylamine acceptor.
 
 
 0.999
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. Is essential for growth.
  
 
 0.974
dcm
DNA cytosine methyltransferase; This methylase recognizes the double-stranded sequence CCWGG, causes specific methylation on C-2 on both strands.
     
  0.900
speB
Agmatinase; Catalyzes the formation of putrescine from agmatine.
  
  
 0.876
speF
Ornithine decarboxylase isozyme, inducible; Protein involved in polyamine biosynthetic process; Belongs to the Orn/Lys/Arg decarboxylase class-I family.
     
 0.823
speC
Ornithine decarboxylase, constitutive; Ornithine decarboxylase isozyme; Protein involved in polyamine biosynthetic process.
     
 0.823
speA
Biosynthetic arginine decarboxylase, PLP-binding; Catalyzes the biosynthesis of agmatine from arginine. Belongs to the Orn/Lys/Arg decarboxylase class-II family. SpeA subfamily.
  
  
 0.740
potI
Putrescine ABC transporter permease; Required for the activity of the bacterial periplasmic transport system of putrescine; Belongs to the binding-protein-dependent transport system permease family. CysTW subfamily.
     
 0.578
fliN
Flagellar motor switching and energizing component; FliN is one of three proteins (FliG, FliN, FliM) that form a switch complex that is proposed to be located at the base of the basal body. This complex interacts with the CheY and CheZ chemotaxis proteins, in addition to contacting components of the motor that determine the direction of flagellar rotation.
   
    0.531
yacC
PulS_OutS family protein.
