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:
some 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

ygaUUncharacterized protein; Highly specific potassium binding protein that is required for normal growth in the presence of high levels of external K(+). May act as a sensor of cytoplasmic K(+) concentration. Binds a single K(+) ion, which induces a large conformational change. Can also bind the larger alkali metal ions Rb(+) and Cs(+), and NH(4)(+) . May be involved in the regulation of peptidoglycan cross-linking (149 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
yegP
DUF1508 domain-containing protein YegP; Belongs to the UPF0339 family. Duplicated subfamily
  
   0.923
ycgB
Spovr family stationary phase protein; To B.subtilis SpoVR
   
  
 0.889
osmC
Lipoyl-dependent cys-based peroxidase, hydroperoxide resistance; Preferentially metabolizes organic hydroperoxides over inorganic hydrogen peroxide
   
  
 0.887
yeaG
Protein kinase, endogenous substrate unidentified; Belongs to the PrkA family
   
  
 0.885
elaB
Putative membrane-anchored duf883 family ribosome-binding protein; Belongs to the ElaB/YgaM/YqjD family
   
  
 0.875
yebV
annotation not available
   
  
 0.864
osmY
Salt-inducible putative abc transporter periplasmic binding protein; Hyperosmotically inducible periplasmic protein; Protein involved in response to osmotic stress
  
  
 0.846
talA
Transaldolase is important for the balance of metabolites in the pentose-phosphate pathway
   
  
 0.843
otsB
trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase, biosynthetic; Removes the phosphate from trehalose 6-phosphate (Tre6P) to produce free trehalose. Also catalyzes the dephosphorylation of glucose-6-phosphate (Glu6P) and 2-deoxyglucose-6-phosphate (2dGlu6P)
   
  
 0.839
wrbA
Nad(p)h dehydrogenase (quinone); It seems to function in response to environmental stress when various electron transfer chains are affected or when the environment is highly oxidizing. It reduces quinones to the hydroquinone state to prevent interaction of the semiquinone with O2 and production of superoxide. It prefers NADH over NADPH
