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

nirDNitrite reductase (nadh) small subunit; Required for activity of the reductase (108 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
nirB
Nitrite reductase, large subunit, nad(p)h-binding; Belongs to the nitrite and sulfite reductase 4Fe-4S domain family
 0.999
narK
Mfs transporter, nnp family, nitrate/nitrite transporter; Catalyzes nitrate uptake, nitrite uptake and nitrite export across the cytoplasmic membrane. Functions as a nitrate/nitrite exchanger, and protons are probably not co-transported with the substrate
 
 0.978
nirC
Nitrite transporter nirc; Catalyzes nitrite uptake and nitrite export across the cytoplasmic membrane. Is up to 10-fold more active than NarK or NarU in nitrite uptake for subsequent reduction in the cytoplasm by the NirB/NirD nitrite reductase
 
  
 0.972
cysG
Uroporphyrin-iii c-methyltransferase / precorrin-2 dehydrogenase / sirohydrochlorin ferrochelatase; Multifunctional enzyme that catalyzes the SAM-dependent methylations of uroporphyrinogen III at position C-2 and C-7 to form precorrin-2 via precorrin-1. Then it catalyzes the NAD-dependent ring dehydrogenation of precorrin-2 to yield sirohydrochlorin. Finally, it catalyzes the ferrochelation of sirohydrochlorin to yield siroheme
 
  
 0.972
narU
Mfs transporter, nnp family, nitrate/nitrite transporter; Catalyzes nitrate uptake, nitrite uptake and nitrite export across the cytoplasmic membrane. May function as a nitrate/H(+) and nitrite/H(+) channel. Could confer a selective advantage during severe nutrient starvation or slow growth
 
 0.955
napA
Nitrate reductase, periplasmic, large subunit; Catalytic subunit of the periplasmic nitrate reductase complex NapAB. Receives electrons from NapB and catalyzes the reduction of nitrate to nitrite
 
 
 0.948
hcp
Hybrid-cluster [4fe-2s-2o] subunit of anaerobic terminal reductases; Catalyzes the reduction of hydroxylamine to form NH(3) and H(2)O. Is also able to reduce hydroxylamine analogs such as methylhydroxylamine and hydroxyquinone. Might have a role as a scavenger of potentially toxic by-products of nitrate metabolism
  
 
 0.916
glnA
Glutamine synthetase; Catalyzes the ATP-dependent biosynthesis of glutamine from glutamate and ammonia
   
 
 0.915
napB
Nitrate reductase, small, cytochrome c550 subunit, periplasmic; Electron transfer subunit of the periplasmic nitrate reductase complex NapAB. Receives electrons from the membrane-anchored tetraheme c-type NapC protein and transfers these to NapA subunit, thus allowing electron flow between membrane and periplasm. Essential for periplasmic nitrate reduction with nitrate as the terminal electron acceptor
   
 
 0.912
gdhA
Glutamate dehydrogenase, nadp-specific; Catalyzes the reversible oxidative deamination of glutamate to alpha-ketoglutarate and ammonia
    
 0.907
