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

ycaLPutative peptidase-related chaperone; Involved in the degradation of the LPS-assembly protein LptD. Degrades LptD that have engaged the Bam complex but are stalled at an early step in the outer membrane protein assembly process. (254 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
bepA
OM protein maintenance and assembly metalloprotease and chaperone, periplasmic; Functions as both a chaperone and a metalloprotease. Maintains the integrity of the outer membrane by promoting either the assembly or the elimination of outer membrane proteins, depending on their folding state. Promotes disulfide rearrangement of LptD during its biogenesis, and proteolytic degradation of LptD and BamA when their proper assembly is compromised. May facilitate membrane attachment of LoiP under unfavorable conditions; Belongs to the peptidase M48 family. BepA subfamily.

cmk
Cytidylate kinase; ATP, dATP, and GTP are equally effective as phosphate donors. CMP and dCMP are the best phosphate acceptors. Belongs to the cytidylate kinase family. Type 1 subfamily.

yrhB
Stable heat shock chaperone.
      
 0.522
aroA
5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthetase; Catalyzes the transfer of the enolpyruvyl moiety of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to the 5-hydroxyl of shikimate-3-phosphate (S3P) to produce enolpyruvyl shikimate-3-phosphate and inorganic phosphate.

ybhL
Putative acetate transporter; BAX Inhibitor-1 family inner membrane protein.
      
 0.459
lit
T4 phage exclusion protein; Interacts with a short DNA sequence about one-quarter of the way into the major capsid protein gene 23 of T4; general translation inhibition occurs when this late gene of the virus is expressed. Belongs to the peptidase U49 family.
      
 0.457
degP
Serine endoprotease (protease Do), membrane-associated; DegP acts as a chaperone at low temperatures but switches to a peptidase (heat shock protein) at higher temperatures. Degrades transiently denatured and unfolded or misfolded proteins which accumulate in the periplasm following heat shock or other stress conditions. DegP is efficient with Val-Xaa and Ile-Xaa peptide bonds, suggesting a preference for beta-branched side chain amino acids. Only unfolded proteins devoid of disulfide bonds appear capable of being cleaved, thereby preventing non-specific proteolysis of folded proteins. [...]

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 [...]

rpsA
30S ribosomal subunit protein S1; Required for translation of most natural mRNAs except for leaderless mRNA. Binds mRNA upstream of the Shine- Dalgarno (SD) sequence and helps it bind to the 30S ribosomal subunit; acts as an RNA chaperone to unfold structured mRNA on the ribosome but is not essential for mRNAs with strong SDs and little 5'-UTR structure, thus it may help fine-tune which mRNAs that are translated. Unwinds dsRNA by binding to transiently formed ssRNA regions; binds about 10 nucleotides. Has a preference for polypyrimidine tracts. Negatively autoregulates its own translat [...]
 
    0.419
crfC
Clamp-binding sister replication fork colocalization protein, dynamin-related; Important for the colocalization of sister nascent DNA strands after replication fork passage during DNA replication, and for positioning and subsequent partitioning of sister chromosomes. Does not have GTPase activity on its own; Belongs to the TRAFAC class dynamin-like GTPase superfamily. Dynamin/Fzo/YdjA family.
