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

Score
recTRac prophage; Binds to single-stranded DNA and also promotes the renaturation of complementary single-stranded DNA. Function in recombination. Has a function similar to that of lambda RedB. (269 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
recE
Rac prophage; Is involved in the RecE pathway of recombination. Catalyzes the degradation of double-stranded DNA. Acts progressively in a 5' to 3' direction, releasing 5'-phosphomononucleotides. Has a strong preference for linear duplex substrate DNA and appears to be unable to initiate degradation from single-stranded breaks in DNA.
 
  
 0.999
recA
DNA recombination and repair protein; Required for homologous recombination and the bypass of mutagenic DNA lesions by the SOS response. Catalyzes ATP-driven homologous pairing and strand exchange of DNA molecules necessary for DNA recombinational repair. Catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP in the presence of single-stranded DNA, the ATP-dependent uptake of single- stranded DNA by duplex DNA, and the ATP-dependent hybridization of homologous single-stranded DNAs. The SOS response controls an apoptotic-like death (ALD) induced (in the absence of the mazE-mazF toxin-antitoxin module) in resp [...]

ssb
Single-stranded DNA-binding protein; Plays an important role in DNA replication, recombination and repair. Binds to ssDNA and to an array of partner proteins to recruit them to their sites of action during DNA metabolism. Acts as a sliding platform that migrates on DNA via reptation. SSB or its 10 C-terminal amino acids stimulates the ATPase activity of RadD.
     
 0.832
ydaC
DUF1187 family protein, Rac prophage; Helps to maintain the integrity of the chromosome by lowering the steady-state level of double strand breaks. This region of DNA acts as an antitoxin to toxin RalR, a DNase, but it seems to be sRNA RalA that has the antitoxin activity and not this putative protein. Therefore the identity of this as a protein-coding gene has been cast into doubt.
  
  
 0.798
ydaQ
Rac prophage; Putative lambdoid prophage Rac excisionase.
  
  
 0.789
ralR
Rac prophage; Toxic component of a type I toxin-antitoxin (TA) system. Upon overexpression inhibits growth and reduces colony-forming units in both the presence and absence of the Rac prophage, cells become filamentous. Has deoxyribonuclease activity (probably endonucleolytic), does not digest RNA. Its toxic effects are neutralized by sRNA antitoxin RalA, which is encoded in trans on the opposite DNA strand. Has RAL-like activity.
  
  
 0.789
flu
Novel sRNA, CP4-44; Controls colony form variation and autoaggregation. May function as an adhesin.
  
     0.665
kilR
Killing protein, Rac prophage; Causes inhibition of cell division. At high levels of expression, can also abolish the rod shape of the cells. Division inhibition by KilR can be relieved by overexpression of the cell division protein FtsZ.
  
  
 0.645
recO
Gap repair protein; Involved in DNA repair and RecF pathway recombination; Belongs to the RecO family.
      
 0.634
recF
Gap repair protein; The RecF protein is involved in DNA metabolism; it is required for DNA replication and normal SOS inducibility. RecF binds preferentially to single-stranded, linear DNA. It also seems to bind ATP.
