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

htpXPutative endopeptidase; Membrane-localized protease able to endoproteolytically degrade overproduced SecY but not YccA, another membrane protein. It seems to cleave SecY at specific cytoplasmic sites. Does not require ATP. Its natural substrate has not been identified. Probably plays a role in the quality control of integral membrane proteins. Belongs to the peptidase M48B family. (293 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
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 [...]

yccA
Modulator of FtsH protease, inner membrane protein; Negatively modulates the activity of the FtsH protease for membrane substrates. Overexpression or stabilizing YccA counteracts the FtsH-mediated degradation of SecY when the SecYEG preprotein translocator is jammed; Belongs to the BI1 family.

grpE
Heat shock protein; Participates actively in the response to hyperosmotic and heat shock by preventing the aggregation of stress-denatured proteins, in association with DnaK and GrpE. It is the nucleotide exchange factor for DnaK and may function as a thermosensor. Unfolded proteins bind initially to DnaJ; upon interaction with the DnaJ-bound protein, DnaK hydrolyzes its bound ATP, resulting in the formation of a stable complex. GrpE releases ADP from DnaK; ATP binding to DnaK triggers the release of the substrate protein, thus completing the reaction cycle. Several rounds of ATP-depen [...]

clpB
Protein disaggregation chaperone; Part of a stress-induced multi-chaperone system, it is involved in the recovery of the cell from heat-induced damage, in cooperation with DnaK, DnaJ and GrpE. Acts before DnaK, in the processing of protein aggregates. Protein binding stimulates the ATPase activity; ATP hydrolysis unfolds the denatured protein aggregates, which probably helps expose new hydrophobic binding sites on the surface of ClpB-bound aggregates, contributing to the solubilization and refolding of denatured protein aggregates by DnaK.

mepM
Murein DD-endopeptidase, space-maker hydrolase, septation protein; A murein DD-endopeptidase with specificity for D-Ala-meso- diaminopimelic acid (mDAP) cross-links. Its role is probably to cleave D-Ala-mDAP cross-links to allow insertion of new glycans and thus cell wall expansion. Functionally redundant with MepM and MepH. Partially suppresses an mepS disruption mutant.

yebE
DUF533 family inner membrane protein.
   
    0.751
dnaK
Chaperone Hsp70, with co-chaperone DnaJ; Plays an essential role in the initiation of phage lambda DNA replication, where it acts in an ATP-dependent fashion with the DnaJ protein to release lambda O and P proteins from the preprimosomal complex. DnaK is also involved in chromosomal DNA replication, possibly through an analogous interaction with the DnaA protein. Also participates actively in the response to hyperosmotic shock.

htpG
Protein refolding molecular co-chaperone Hsp90, Hsp70-dependent; Molecular chaperone. Has ATPase activity.
  
  
 0.743
hslU
Molecular chaperone and ATPase component of HslUV protease; ATPase subunit of a proteasome-like degradation complex; this subunit has chaperone activity. The binding of ATP and its subsequent hydrolysis by HslU are essential for unfolding of protein substrates subsequently hydrolyzed by HslV. HslU recognizes the N-terminal part of its protein substrates and unfolds these before they are guided to HslV for hydrolysis.
   
  
 0.734
spy
Periplasmic ATP-independent protein refolding chaperone, stress-induced; An ATP-independent periplasmic chaperone, decreases protein aggregation and helps protein refolding. Binds substrate over a large region of its convex inner surface. Substrate protein folds while it is bound to chaperone. Increasing Spy flexibility increases its substrate affinity and overall chaperone activity (shown for 3 different substrates). Protects proteins in vitro against tannin inactivation; tannins have antimicrobial activity. Overexpression enhances the stability of otherwise unstable periplasmic prote [...]
