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

yggXOxidative damage protective factor for iron-sulfur proteins; Could be a mediator in iron transactions between iron acquisition and iron-requiring processes, such as synthesis and/or repair of Fe-S clusters in biosynthetic enzymes. Necessary to maintain high levels of aconitase under oxidative stress. (91 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
mutY
Adenine DNA glycosylase; Adenine glycosylase active on G-A mispairs. MutY also corrects error-prone DNA synthesis past GO lesions which are due to the oxidatively damaged form of guanine: 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxo- dGTP); Belongs to the Nth/MutY family.
 
  
 0.977
mltC
Membrane-bound lytic murein transglycosylase C; Murein-degrading enzyme. May play a role in recycling of muropeptides during cell elongation and/or cell division. Belongs to the transglycosylase Slt family.
  
  
 0.887
ytfE
Iron-sulfur cluster repair protein RIC; Di-iron-containing protein involved in the repair of iron- sulfur clusters damaged by oxidative and nitrosative stress conditions.
      
 0.731
ygfZ
Iron-sulfur cluster repair protein, plumbagin resistance; Folate-binding protein involved in regulating the level of ATP-DnaA and in the modification of some tRNAs. It is probably a key factor in regulatory networks that act via tRNA modification, such as initiation of chromosomal replication; Belongs to the tRNA-modifying YgfZ family.
  
  
 0.704
sspB
ClpXP protease specificity enhancing factor; Enhances recognition of ssrA-tagged proteins by the ClpX-ClpP protease; the ssrA degradation tag (AANDENYALAA) is added trans- translationally to proteins that are stalled on the ribosome, freeing the ribosome and targeting stalled peptides for degradation. SspB activates the ATPase activity of ClpX. Seems to act in concert with SspA in the regulation of several proteins during exponential and stationary-phase growth.

ftsB
Cell division protein; Essential cell division protein. May link together the upstream cell division proteins, which are predominantly cytoplasmic, with the downstream cell division proteins, which are predominantly periplasmic.
  
    0.667
cyaY
Iron-dependent inhibitor of iron-sulfur cluster formation; Involved in iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster assembly. May act as a regulator of Fe-S biogenesis. Can bind both Fe(2+) and Fe(3+) ions. In vivo, has a positive effect on Fe-S cluster biogenesis under iron- rich growth conditions. In vitro, can inhibit IscS cysteine desulfurase activity and the formation of Fe-S clusters on IscU. In vitro, in the presence of IscS and cysteine, Fe(3+)-CyaY can be used as an iron donor during Fe-S cluster assembly on the scaffold protein IscU.
  
   
 0.642
holA
DNA polymerase III, delta subunit; Part of the beta sliding clamp loading complex, which hydrolyzes ATP to load the beta clamp onto primed DNA to form the DNA replication pre-initiation complex. DNA polymerase III is a complex, multichain enzyme responsible for most of the replicative synthesis in bacteria. This DNA polymerase also exhibits 3'-5' exonuclease activity. The delta subunit is the wrench that will open the beta subunit dimer, which has been modeled to leave a gap large enough for ssDNA to pass through. The gamma complex (gamma(3),delta,delta') is thought to load beta dimers [...]

ftsQ
Divisome assembly protein, membrane anchored protein involved in growth of wall at septum; Essential cell division protein. May link together the upstream cell division proteins, which are predominantly cytoplasmic, with the downstream cell division proteins, which are predominantly periplasmic. May control correct divisome assembly. Belongs to the FtsQ/DivIB family. FtsQ subfamily.
  
    0.586
bamE
Lipoprotein component of BamABCDE OM biogenesis complex; Part of the outer membrane protein assembly complex (Bam), which is involved in assembly and insertion of beta-barrel proteins into the outer membrane. Nonessential member of the complex that stabilizes the interaction between the essential proteins BamA and BamD. May modulate the conformation of BamA, likely through interactions with BamD. Efficient substrate folding and insertion into the outer membrane requires all 5 subunits. A lateral gate may open between the first and last strands of the BamA beta-barrel that allows substr [...]
