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

cusFPeriplasmic copper- and silver-binding protein; Part of a cation efflux system that mediates resistance to copper and silver. Binds one copper per polypeptide. (110 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
cusC
Copper/silver efflux system, outer membrane component; Forms pores that allow passive diffusion of cations across the outer membrane. Part of a cation efflux system that mediates resistance to copper and silver. In pathogenic strains it allows the bacteria to invade brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMEC) thus allowing it to cross the blood-brain barrier and cause neonatal meningitis.
 
 0.999
cusB
Copper/silver efflux system, membrane fusion protein; Part of a cation efflux system that mediates resistance to copper and silver.
 
 0.999
cusA
Copper/silver efflux system, membrane component; Part of a cation efflux system that mediates resistance to copper and silver; Belongs to the resistance-nodulation-cell division (RND) (TC 2.A.6) family.
 
 
 0.999
cusS
Copper-sensing histidine kinase in two-component regulatory system with CusR; Member of the two-component regulatory system CusS/CusR involved in response to copper and silver. Acts as a copper/silver ion sensor. Activates CusR by phosphorylation.
 
  
 0.969
cusR
Response regulator in two-component regulatory system with CusS; Member of the two-component regulatory system CusS/CusR involved in response to copper and silver. Activates the expression of cusCFBA, hiuH and plasmid pRJ1004 gene pcoE in response to increasing levels of copper or silver ions. Can also increase the basal-level expression of copper resistance gene operon pcoABCD.
 
  
 0.961
cueO
Multicopper oxidase (laccase); Probably involved in periplasmic detoxification of copper by oxidizing Cu(+) to Cu(2+) and thus preventing its uptake into the cytoplasm. Possesses phenoloxidase and ferroxidase activities and might be involved in the production of polyphenolic compounds and the prevention of oxidative damage in the periplasm.
  
  
 0.898
cueR
Copper-responsive regulon transcriptional regulator; Regulates the transcription of the copA and cueO genes. It detects cytoplasmic copper stress and activates transcription in response to increasing copper concentrations.
   
  
 0.894
copA
Copper transporter; [Copper-exporting P-type ATPase]: Exports Cu(+) from the cytoplasm to the periplasm. Binds 2 Cu(+) ions per monomer, which are transferred to periplasmic copper chaperone CusF upon ATP hydrolysis. In vitro an excess of CusF over CopA is required for efficient transfer. May also be involved in silver export.
  
  
 0.706
arsB
Arsenite/antimonite transporter; Involved in arsenical resistance. Thought to form the channel of an arsenite pump (By similarity); Belongs to the ArsB family.
  
   
 0.589
yebZ
Inner membrane protein; Putative resistance protein; Protein involved in response to drug.
     
 0.579
