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:
some 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

Score
asnBAsparagine synthase (glutamine-hydrolysing); Catalyzes the ATP-dependent conversion of aspartate into asparagine, using glutamine as a source of nitrogen. Can also use ammonia as the nitrogen source in vitro, albeit with lower efficiency. As nucleotide substrates, ATP and dATP are utilized at a similar rate in both the glutamine- and ammonia-dependent reactions, whereas GTP utilization is only 15% that of ATP, and CTP, UTP, ITP and XTP are very poor or not substrates. Also exhibits glutaminase activity (554 aa)
