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

feoAFerrous iron transporter, protein A; Involved in Fe(2+) ion uptake. Does not stimulate the GTPase activity of the N-terminus of FeoB (residues 1- 276). (75 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
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 [...]
 
  
 0.999
feoC
Putative DNA-binding transcriptional regulator; May function as a transcriptional regulator that controls feoABC expression; Belongs to the FeoC family.
  
  
 0.988
exbB
Membrane spanning protein in TonB-ExbB-ExbD complex; Involved in the TonB-dependent energy-dependent transport of various receptor-bound substrates. Protects ExbD from proteolytic degradation and functionally stabilizes TonB.
   
  
 0.765
exbD
Membrane spanning protein in TonB-ExbB-ExbD complex; Involved in the TonB-dependent energy-dependent transport of various receptor-bound substrates.
   
  
 0.716
fepA
Ferrienterobactin outer membrane transporter; This protein is involved in the initial step of iron uptake by binding ferrienterobactin (Fe-ENT), an iron chelatin siderophore that allows E.coli to extract iron from the environment. FepA also acts as a receptor for colicins B and D.
   
  
 0.613
fhuA
Ferrichrome outer membrane transporter; Involved in the uptake of iron in complex with ferrichrome, a hydroxamate-type siderophore. Binds and transports ferrichrome-iron across the outer membrane. In addition to its role in ferrichrome-iron transport, transports the antibiotic albomycin, which is a structural analog of ferrichrome, and acts as a receptor for colicin M, microcin J25 and bacteriophages T1, T5, phi80 and UC-1. The energy source, which is required for all FhuA functions except infection by phage T5, is provided by the inner membrane TonB system.
   
  
 0.605
fhuF
Ferric iron reductase involved in ferric hydroximate transport; Involved in the reduction of ferric iron in cytoplasmic ferrioxamine B.
   
  
 0.563
mntR
Mn(2+)-responsive manganese regulon transcriptional regulator; In the presence of manganese, represses expression of mntH and mntS. Up-regulates expression of mntP.
  
  
 0.542
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 [...]

efeO
Iron uptake system component EfeO; Involved in Fe(2+) uptake. Could be an iron-binding and/or electron-transfer component.
