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

mglBMethyl-galactoside transporter subunit; This protein is involved in the active transport of galactose and glucose. It plays a role in the chemotaxis towards the two sugars by interacting with the trg chemoreceptor. (332 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
mglC
Methyl-galactoside transporter subunit; Part of the binding-protein-dependent transport system for galactoside. Probably responsible for the translocation of the substrate across the membrane.
 
 0.999
mglA
Methyl-galactoside ABC transporter ATPase; Part of the ABC transporter complex MglABC involved in galactose/methyl galactoside import. Responsible for energy coupling to the transport system (Probable).
 
 
 0.999
trg
Methyl-accepting chemotaxis protein III, ribose and galactose sensor receptor; Mediates taxis to the sugars ribose and galactose via an interaction with the periplasmic ribose- or galactose-binding proteins.
   
 
 0.933
malE
Maltose transporter subunit; Part of the ABC transporter complex MalEFGK involved in maltose/maltodextrin import. Binds maltose and higher maltodextrins such as maltotriose. Belongs to the bacterial solute-binding protein 1 family.
   
 
 0.899
yphD
Putative sugar ABC transporter permease; Probably part of the binding-protein-dependent transport system YphDEF. Probably responsible for the translocation of the substrate across the membrane; Belongs to the binding-protein-dependent transport system permease family. AraH/RbsC subfamily.
 
 0.898
galS
Galactose- and fucose-inducible galactose regulon transcriptional isorepressor; Repressor of the mgl operon. Binds galactose and D-fucose as inducers. GalS binds to an operator DNA sequence within its own coding sequence (corresponding to residues 15 to 20).
  
  
 0.879
rbsC
D-ribose ABC transporter permease; Part of the ABC transporter complex RbsABC involved in ribose import. Probably responsible for the translocation of the substrate across the membrane.
 
 0.875
araH
L-arabinose ABC transporter permease; Part of the binding-protein-dependent transport system for L- arabinose. Probably responsible for the translocation of the substrate across the membrane.
 
 0.865
lsrD
Autoinducer 2 import system permease protein; Part of the ABC transporter complex LsrABCD involved in autoinducer 2 (AI-2) import. Probably responsible for the translocation of the substrate across the membrane (Probable). Belongs to the binding-protein-dependent transport system permease family. AraH/RbsC subfamily.
 
 0.861
rbsA
D-ribose ABC transporter ATPase; Part of the ABC transporter complex RbsABC involved in ribose import. Responsible for energy coupling to the transport system. Belongs to the ABC transporter superfamily. Ribose importer (TC 3.A.1.2.1) family.
