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

qmcAPHB domain membrane-anchored putative protease; Identified as a multi-copy suppressor of an FtsH/HtpX protease double disruption mutant. May play a role in the quality control of integral membrane proteins; Belongs to the band 7/mec-2 family. (305 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ybbJ
Inner membrane protein; stimulator of the QmcA suppressor of ftsH-htpX.

ftsH
Protease, ATP-dependent zinc-metallo; Acts as a processive, ATP-dependent zinc metallopeptidase for both cytoplasmic and membrane proteins. Plays a role in the quality control of integral membrane proteins. Degrades a few membrane proteins that have not been assembled into complexes such as SecY, F(0) ATPase subunit a and YccA, and also cytoplasmic proteins sigma-32, LpxC, KdtA and phage lambda cII protein among others. Degrades membrane proteins in a processive manner starting at either the N- or C-terminus; recognition requires a cytoplasmic tail of about 20 residues with no apparent [...]

fetA
Iron export ABC transporter ATPase; Part of the ABC transporter complex FetAB, which is probably involved in iron export and enhances resistance to H(2)O(2)-mediated oxidative stress. Probably responsible for energy coupling to the transport system.
  
  
 0.837
yqiK
PHB family membrane protein, function unknown; Putative membrane protein.
     
 0.816
htpX
Putative endopeptidase; Membrane-localized protease able to endoproteolytically degrade overproduced SecY but not YccA, another membrane protein. It seems to cleave SecY at specific cytoplasmic sites. Does not require ATP. Its natural substrate has not been identified. Probably plays a role in the quality control of integral membrane proteins. Belongs to the peptidase M48B family.
   
 
 0.676
fetB
Iron export ABC transporter permease; Part of the ABC transporter complex FetAB, which is probably involved in iron export and enhances resistance to H(2)O(2)-mediated oxidative stress. Probably responsible for the translocation of the substrate across the membrane; Belongs to the UPF0014 family.

hflK
Modulator for HflB protease specific for phage lambda cII repressor; HflC and HflK help govern the stability of phage lambda cII protein, and thereby control the lysogenization frequency of phage lambda. HflKC inhibits the SecY-degrading activity of FtsH, possibly helping quality control of integral membrane proteins. Belongs to the band 7/mec-2 family. HflK subfamily.
  
   
0.598
yjjV
Putative DNase; Belongs to the metallo-dependent hydrolases superfamily. TatD-type hydrolase family.
      
 0.525
hflC
HflB protease modulator specific for phage lambda cII repressor; HflC and HflK help govern the stability of phage lambda cII protein, and thereby control the lysogenization frequency of phage lambda. HflKC inhibits the SecY-degrading activity of FtsH, possibly helping quality control of integral membrane proteins. Belongs to the band 7/mec-2 family. HflC subfamily.

mscS
Mechanosensitive channel protein, small conductance; Mechanosensitive channel that participates in the regulation of osmotic pressure changes within the cell, opening in response to stretch forces in the membrane lipid bilayer, without the need for other proteins. Contributes to normal resistance to hypoosmotic shock. Forms an ion channel of 1.0 nanosiemens conductance with a slight preference for anions. The channel is sensitive to voltage; as the membrane is depolarized, less tension is required to open the channel and vice versa. The channel is characterized by short bursts of activ [...]
