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

yciSDUF1049 family inner membrane protein, function unknown; Involved in the assembly of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (102 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
yciM
Modulates cellular lipopolysaccharide (LPS) levels by regulating LpxC, which is involved in lipid A biosynthesis. May act by modulating the proteolytic activity of FtsH towards LpxC. May also coordinate assembly of proteins involved in LPS synthesis at the plasma membrane

yfaL
Putative autotransporter adhesin yfal; Probably an autotransporter

yhcB
annotation not available

pepA
Leucyl aminopeptidase; Probably involved in the processing and regular turnover of intracellular proteins . Catalyzes the removal of unsubstituted N-terminal amino acids from various peptides. Required for plasmid ColE1 site-specific recombination but not in its aminopeptidase activity. Could act as a structural component of the putative nucleoprotein complex in which the Xer recombination reaction takes place
      
 0.732
pgpB
Phosphatidylglycerophosphatase b; Catalyzes the dephosphorylation of diacylglycerol diphosphate (DGPP) to phosphatidate (PA) and the subsequent dephosphorylation of PA to diacylglycerol (DAG). Also has undecaprenyl pyrophosphate phosphatase activity, required for the biosynthesis of the lipid carrier undecaprenyl phosphate. Can also use lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and phosphatidylglycerophosphate as substrates. The pattern of activities varies according to subcellular location, PGP phosphatase activity is higher in the cytoplasmic membrane, whereas PA and LPA phosphatase activities are [...]

hns
A DNA-binding protein implicated in transcriptional repression (silencing) Also involved in bacterial chromosome organization and compaction . H-NS binds tightly to AT-rich dsDNA and inhibits transcription Binds upstream and downstream of initiating RNA polymerase, trapping it in a loop and preventing transcription . Binds to hundreds of sites, approximately half its binding sites are in non-coding DNA, which only accounts for about 10% of the genome . Many of these loci were horizontally transferred (HTG); this offers the selective advantage of silencing foreign DNA while keeping it i [...]

stpA
Dna-binding transcriptional repressor stpa with rna chaperone activity; A DNA-binding protein that acts in a fashion similar to H-NS protein upon overexpression, represses a number of genes including the cryptic blg operon, hns, papB and the proU locus . A subset of H-NS/StpA-regulated genes also require Hha for repression; Hha and Cnu (YdgT) increases the number of genes DNA bound by H-NS/StpA and may also modulate the oligomerization of the H-NS/StpA-complex . Repression can be inhibited by dominant-negative mutants of StpA or H-NS

pyrF
Orotidine-5'-phosphate decarboxylase; Catalyzes the decarboxylation of orotidine 5'-monophosphate (OMP) to uridine 5'-monophosphate (UMP)
       0.624
yggI
Zn-dependent metalloprotease-related protein; Involved in bolA gene expression at the stationary phase
  
     0.618
gsiA
Glutathione abc transporter atp binding subunit gsia; Part of the ABC transporter complex GsiABCD involved in glutathione import. Responsible for energy coupling to the transport system
