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

ispBOctaprenyl diphosphate synthase; Supplies octaprenyl diphosphate, the precursor for the side chain of the isoprenoid quinones ubiquinone and menaquinone. Belongs to the FPP/GGPP synthase family. (323 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ispU
Undecaprenyl pyrophosphate synthase; Generates ditrans,octacis-undecaprenyl pyrophosphate (UPP) from isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) and farnesyl diphosphate (FPP). UPP is the precursor of glycosyl carrier lipid in the biosynthesis of bacterial cell wall polysaccharide components such as peptidoglycan and lipopolysaccharide; Belongs to the UPP synthase family.
 
 
 0.990
ubiA
P-hydroxybenzoate octaprenyltransferase; Catalyzes the prenylation of para-hydroxybenzoate (PHB) with an all-trans polyprenyl group. Mediates the second step in the final reaction sequence of ubiquinone-8 (UQ-8) biosynthesis, which is the condensation of the polyisoprenoid side chain with PHB, generating the first membrane-bound Q intermediate 3-octaprenyl-4-hydroxybenzoate. Geranyldiphosphate (GPP), all-trans- farnesyldiphosphate (FPP) and all-trans-solanesyldiphosphate (SPP) are also accepted as side chain precursors. Belongs to the UbiA prenyltransferase family.
 
 
 0.961
ispA
Geranyltranstransferase; Belongs to the FPP/GGPP synthase family.
  
 
0.941
menA
1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoate octaprenyltransferase; Conversion of 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoate (DHNA) to demethylmenaquinone (DMK). Attaches octaprenylpyrophosphate, a membrane-bound 40-carbon side chain to DHNA. The conversion of DHNA to DMK proceeds in three stages: the removal of the carboxyl group of DHNA as CO(2), the attachment of the isoprenoid side chain, and a quinol-to- quinone oxidation, which is thought to be spontaneous.
  
 
 0.884
idi
Isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase; Catalyzes the 1,3-allylic rearrangement of the homoallylic substrate isopentenyl (IPP) to its highly electrophilic allylic isomer, dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP).
  
  
 0.697
ubiD
3-octaprenyl-4-hydroxybenzoate decarboxylase; Catalyzes the decarboxylation of 3-octaprenyl-4-hydroxy benzoate to 2-octaprenylphenol, an intermediate step in ubiquinone biosynthesis; Belongs to the UbiD family.
 
  
 0.685
dxs
1-deoxyxylulose-5-phosphate synthase, thiamine triphosphate-binding, FAD-requiring; Catalyzes the acyloin condensation reaction between C atoms 2 and 3 of pyruvate and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to yield 1-deoxy-D- xylulose-5-phosphate (DXP).
  
  
 0.651
ubiI
2-octaprenylphenol hydroxylase, FAD-dependent; FAD-dependent monooxygenase required for the aerobic hydroxylation of 2-octaprenylphenol to 2-octaprenyl-6-hydroxy-phenol, the first hydroxylation step in coenzyme Q (ubiquinone) biosynthesis.
  
 
 0.640
folC
Bifunctional folylpolyglutamate synthase/ dihydrofolate synthase; Functions in two distinct reactions of the de novo folate biosynthetic pathway. Catalyzes the addition of a glutamate residue to dihydropteroate (7,8-dihydropteroate or H2Pte) to form dihydrofolate (7,8-dihydrofolate monoglutamate or H2Pte-Glu). Also catalyzes successive additions of L-glutamate to tetrahydrofolate or 10- formyltetrahydrofolate or 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate, leading to folylpolyglutamate derivatives.
 
  
 0.610
ispH
4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-enyl diphosphate reductase, 4Fe-4S protein; Catalyzes the conversion of 1-hydroxy-2-methyl-2-(E)-butenyl 4-diphosphate (HMBPP) into a mixture of isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) and dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP). Acts in the terminal step of the DOXP/MEP pathway for isoprenoid precursor biosynthesis. In vitro, can also hydrate acetylenes to aldehydes and ketones via anti-Markovnikov/Markovnikov addition. Belongs to the IspH family.
