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

amyACytoplasmic alpha-amylase; Protein involved in carbohydrate catabolic process and polysaccharide catabolic process; Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 13 family. (495 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
glgX
Glycogen debranching enzyme; Removes maltotriose and maltotetraose chains that are attached by 1,6-alpha-linkage to the limit dextrin main chain, generating a debranched limit dextrin. Shows only very little activity with native glycogen.
  
 
 0.968
glgB
1,4-alpha-glucan branching enzyme; Catalyzes the formation of the alpha-1,6-glucosidic linkages in glycogen by scission of a 1,4-alpha-linked oligosaccharide from growing alpha-1,4-glucan chains and the subsequent attachment of the oligosaccharide to the alpha-1,6 position; Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 13 family. GlgB subfamily.
  
 
 0.965
malS
Alpha-amylase; Since only maltooligosaccharides up to a chain length of 6 glucose units are actively transported through the cytoplasmic membrane via the membrane-bound complex of three proteins, MalF, MalG, and MalK, longer maltooligosaccharides must first be degraded by the periplasmic alpha-amylase, the MalS protein; Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 13 family.
 
   
 0.960
malZ
Maltodextrin glucosidase; May play a role in regulating the intracellular level of maltotriose. Cleaves glucose from the reducing end of maltotriose and longer maltodextrins with a chain length of up to 7 glucose units.
     
 0.958
glgP
Glycogen phosphorylase; Phosphorylase is an important allosteric enzyme in carbohydrate metabolism. Enzymes from different sources differ in their regulatory mechanisms and in their natural substrates. However, all known phosphorylases share catalytic and structural properties.
  
 0.953
malQ
4-alpha-glucanotransferase (amylomaltase); Protein involved in carbohydrate catabolic process and polysaccharide catabolic process; Belongs to the disproportionating enzyme family.
  
 
 0.943
malP
Maltodextrin phosphorylase; Phosphorylase is an important allosteric enzyme in carbohydrate metabolism. Enzymes from different sources differ in their regulatory mechanisms and in their natural substrates. However, all known phosphorylases share catalytic and structural properties.
  
 0.937
fliT
Putative flagellar synthesis and assembly chaperone; Dual-function protein that regulates the transcription of class 2 flagellar operons and that also acts as an export chaperone for the filament-capping protein FliD. As a transcriptional regulator, acts as an anti-FlhDC factor; it directly binds FlhC, thus inhibiting the binding of the FlhC/FlhD complex to class 2 promoters, resulting in decreased expression of class 2 flagellar operons. As a chaperone, effects FliD transition to the membrane by preventing its premature polymerization, and by directing it to the export apparatus. Belo [...]
 
    0.807
bcsZ
endo-1,4-D-glucanase; Hydrolyzes carboxymethylcellulose.
      
 0.687
glgA
Glycogen synthase; Synthesizes alpha-1,4-glucan chains using ADP-glucose.
 
  
 0.628
