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

bfrBacterioferritin, iron storage and detoxification protein; Iron-storage protein, whose ferroxidase center binds Fe(2+) ions, oxidizes them by dioxygen to Fe(3+), and participates in the subsequent Fe(3+) oxide mineral core formation within the central cavity of the protein complex. The mineralized iron core can contain as many as 2700 iron atoms/24-meric molecule. (158 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
bfd
Bacterioferritin-associated ferredoxin; Seems to associate with BFR; could be a general redox and/or regulatory component participating in the iron storage mobilization functions of BFR. Could participate in the release or the delivery of iron from/to bacterioferritin (or other iron complexes).

hemH
Ferrochelatase; Catalyzes the ferrous insertion into protoporphyrin IX; Belongs to the ferrochelatase family.
     
 0.933
ftnA
Ferritin iron storage protein (cytoplasmic); Iron-storage protein; Belongs to the ferritin family. Prokaryotic subfamily.
      
 0.871
elaB
Putative membrane-anchored DUF883 family ribosome-binding protein; Belongs to the ElaB/YgaM/YqjD family.
   
    0.641
sodB
Superoxide dismutase, Fe; Destroys superoxide anion radicals which are normally produced within the cells and which are toxic to biological systems; Belongs to the iron/manganese superoxide dismutase family.
     
 0.593
feoB
Ferrous iron transporter protein B and GTP-binding protein; Transporter of a GTP-driven Fe(2+) uptake system, probably couples GTP-binding to channel opening and Fe(2+) uptake. A guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G proteins) in which the guanine nucleotide binding site alternates between an active, GTP-bound state and an inactive, GDP- bound state. This protein has fast intrinsic GDP release, mediated by the G5 loop (about residues 149-158). Presumably GTP hydrolysis leads to conformational changes and channel closing. A GDP release mechanism involving a conformational change of the [...]

dps
Fe-binding and storage protein; During stationary phase, binds the chromosome non- specifically, forming a highly ordered and stable dps-DNA co-crystal within which chromosomal DNA is condensed and protected from diverse damages. It protects DNA from oxidative damage by sequestering intracellular Fe(2+) ion and storing it in the form of Fe(3+) oxyhydroxide mineral, which can be released after reduction. One hydrogen peroxide oxidizes two Fe(2+) ions, which prevents hydroxyl radical production by the Fenton reaction. Dps also protects the cell from UV and gamma irradiation, iron and cop [...]

cirA
Colicin IA outer membrane receptor and translocator; Not yet known. Postulated to participate in iron transport. Outer membrane receptor for colicins IA and IB.
      
 0.556
katE
Catalase HPII, heme d-containing; Decomposes hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen; serves to protect cells from the toxic effects of hydrogen peroxide.
  
  
 0.555
tonB
Membrane spanning protein in TonB-ExbB-ExbD transport complex; Interacts with outer membrane receptor proteins that carry out high-affinity binding and energy dependent uptake into the periplasmic space of specific substrates such as cobalamin, and various iron compounds (such as iron dicitrate, enterochelin, aerobactin, etc.). In the absence of TonB these receptors bind their substrates but do not carry out active transport. TonB also interacts with some colicins and is involved in the energy-dependent, irreversible steps of bacteriophages phi 80 and T1 infection. It could act to tran [...]
