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

puuRRepressor for the divergent puu operons, putrescine inducible; Represses puuA, puuD and puuP. (185 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
puuD
Gamma-glutamyl-gamma-aminobutyrate hydrolase; Involved in the breakdown of putrescine via hydrolysis of the gamma-glutamyl linkage of gamma-glutamyl-gamma-aminobutyrate.
 
  
 0.992
puuA
Glutamate--putrescine ligase; Involved in the breakdown of putrescine via the biosynthesis of gamma-L-glutamylputrescine. It is able to use several diamines, spermidine and spermine. Absolutely essential to utilize putrescine as both nitrogen and carbon sources and to decrease the toxicity of putrescine, which can lead to inhibition of cell growth and protein synthesis; Belongs to the glutamine synthetase family.
 
  
 0.987
puuB
Gamma-glutamylputrescine oxidoreductase; Involved in the breakdown of putrescine via the oxidation of L-glutamylputrescine.
 
  
 0.904
puuC
Gamma-glutamyl-gamma-aminobutyraldehyde dehydrogenase; Catalyzes the oxidation of 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde (3-HPA) to 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP). It acts preferentially with NAD but can also use NADP. 3-HPA appears to be the most suitable substrate for PuuC followed by isovaleraldehyde, propionaldehyde, butyraldehyde, and valeraldehyde. It might play a role in propionate and/or acetic acid metabolisms. Also involved in the breakdown of putrescine through the oxidation of gamma-Glu-gamma-aminobutyraldehyde to gamma-Glu-gamma-aminobutyrate (gamma-Glu-GABA).
 
  
 0.861
puuE
4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase, PLP-dependent; Catalyzes the transfer of the amino group from gamma- aminobutyrate (GABA) to alpha-ketoglutarate (KG) to yield succinic semialdehyde (SSA). PuuE is important for utilization of putrescine as the sole nitrogen or carbon source; Belongs to the class-III pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family.
 
  
 0.776
puuP
Putrescine importer; Involved in the uptake of putrescine. Belongs to the amino acid-polyamine-organocation (APC) superfamily.
  
  
 0.743
ydcN
Putative DNA-binding transcriptional regulator; Regulates the expression of 12-16 transcription units involved in various steps of sulfur utilization. Represses expression of pfkB, fliZ, cysE, ydcO and its own expression. Activates expression of ypfN. Acts by binding to SutR boxes.
  
  
 0.644
nadR
Trifunctional NAD biosynthesis/regulator protein NadR; This enzyme has three activities: DNA binding, nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) adenylyltransferase and ribosylnicotinamide (RN) kinase. The DNA-binding domain binds to the nadB operator sequence in an NAD- and ATP-dependent manner. As NAD levels increase within the cell, the affinity of NadR for the nadB operator regions of nadA, nadB, and pncB increases, repressing the transcription of these genes. The RN kinase activity catalyzes the phosphorylation of RN to form nicotinamide ribonucleotide. The NMN adenylyltransferase activity [...]
   
  
 0.523
yidP
Uncharacterized HTH-type transcriptional regulator YidP; Pseudogene, arbutin specific enzyme IIC component of PTS;enzyme; Transport of small molecules: Carbohydrates, organic acids, alcohols; PTS system, arbutin-like IIB component; PTS system, arbutin-like IIC component.
 
  
 0.484
pheA
Chorismate mutase and prephenate dehydratase, P-protein; Catalyzes the Claisen rearrangement of chorismate to prephenate and the decarboxylation/dehydration of prephenate to phenylpyruvate.
  
  
 0.461
