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

rseBAnti-sigma E factor, binds RseA; Negatively modulates the activity of sigma-E (RpoE) by stabilizing RseA under non-stress conditions. Although not essential for association of sigma-E with Rsea it increases their affinity 2- to 3-fold. When bound to RseA it prevents proteolysis by DegS, which is probably relieved by lipopolysaccharide binding (LPS). Belongs to the RseB family. (318 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
rseC
SoxR iron-sulfur cluster reduction factor component; May play a role in reduction of the SoxR iron-sulfur cluster. May work together with the RsxABCDGE complex. Belongs to the RseC family.

rseA
Anti-sigma factor; An anti-sigma factor for extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma factor sigma-E (RpoE). ECF sigma factors are held in an inactive form by an anti-sigma factor until released by regulated intramembrane proteolysis (RIP). RIP occurs when an extracytoplasmic signal triggers a concerted proteolytic cascade to transmit information and elicit cellular responses. The membrane-spanning regulatory substrate protein is first cut periplasmically (site-1 protease, S1P, DegS), then within the membrane itself (site-2 protease, S2P, RseP), while cytoplasmic proteases finish degrading [...]

rpoE
RNA polymerase sigma E factor; Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase (RNAP) to specific initiation sites and are then released. Extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma-E controls the envelope stress response, responding to periplasmic protein stress, increased levels of periplasmic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as well as heat shock and oxidative stress; it controls protein processing in the extracytoplasmic compartment. The 90 member regulon consists of the genes necessary for the synthesis and maintenance of both proteins and LPS of the outer me [...]

rseP
Inner membrane zinc RIP metalloprotease; A site-2 regulated intramembrane protease (S2P) that cleaves the peptide bond between 'Ala-108' and 'Cys-109' in the transmembrane region of RseA. Part of a regulated intramembrane proteolysis (RIP) cascade. Acts on DegS-cleaved RseA to release the cytoplasmic domain of RseA, residue 'Val-148' of RseA may be required for this. This provides the cell with sigma-E (RpoE) activity through the proteolysis of RseA. Can also cleave sequences in transmembrane regions of other proteins (such as LacY) as well as liberated signal peptides of beta-lactamas [...]

degS
Serine endoprotease, periplasmic; A site-1 protease (S1P) that cleaves the peptide bond between 'Val-148' and 'Ser-149' in RseA. Part of a regulated intramembrane proteolysis (RIP) cascade. When heat shock or other environmental stresses disrupt protein folding in the periplasm, DegS senses the accumulation of unassembled outer membrane porins (OMP) and then initiates RseA (anti sigma-E factor) degradation by cleaving its periplasmic domain, making it a substrate for subsequent cleavage by RseP. This cascade ultimately leads to the sigma-E-driven expression of a variety of factors deal [...]

seqA
Negative modulator of initiation of replication; Negative regulator of replication initiation, which contributes to regulation of DNA replication and ensures that replication initiation occurs exactly once per chromosome per cell cycle. Binds to pairs of hemimethylated GATC sequences in the oriC region, thus preventing assembly of replication proteins and re- initiation at newly replicated origins. Repression is relieved when the region becomes fully methylated. Can also bind to hemimethylated GATC sequences outside of oriC region. Binds, with less affinity, to fully methylated GATC si [...]

lptC
Periplasmic membrane-anchored LPS-binding protein; Involved in the assembly of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Required for the translocation of LPS from the inner membrane to the outer membrane. Facilitates the transfer of LPS from the inner membrane to the periplasmic protein LptA. Could be a docking site for LptA. Belongs to the LptC family.
  
  
 0.719
rpoD
RNA polymerase, sigma 70 (sigma D) factor; Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. This sigma factor is the primary sigma factor during exponential growth. Preferentially transcribes genes associated with fast growth, such as ribosomal operons, other protein-synthesis related genes, rRNA- and tRNA-encoding genes and prfB. Belongs to the sigma-70 factor family. RpoD/SigA subfamily.
