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

rbsKRibokinase; Catalyzes the phosphorylation of ribose at O-5 in a reaction requiring ATP and magnesium. The resulting D-ribose-5-phosphate can then be used either for sythesis of nucleotides, histidine, and tryptophan, or as a component of the pentose phosphate pathway (309 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
rbsD
D-ribose pyranase; Catalyzes the interconversion of beta-pyran and beta-furan forms of D-ribose. It also catalyzes the conversion between beta- allofuranose and beta-allopyranose
 
 0.999
rbsR
Dna-binding transcriptional dual regulator rbsr; Transcriptional repressor for the ribose rbsDACBK operon. RbsR binds to a region of perfect dyad symmetry spanning the rbs operon transcriptional start site. The affinity for the rbs operator is reduced by addition of ribose, consistent with ribose being the inducer of the operon
  
 0.993
prs
Phosphoribosylpyrophosphate synthase; Involved in the biosynthesis of the central metabolite phospho-alpha-D-ribosyl-1-pyrophosphate (PRPP) via the transfer of pyrophosphoryl group from ATP to 1-hydroxyl of ribose-5-phosphate (Rib- 5-P)
    
 0.988
rbsC
Ribose transport system permease protein; Part of the ABC transporter complex RbsABC involved in ribose import. Probably responsible for the translocation of the substrate across the membrane
 
  
 0.987
rbsB
D-ribose abc transporter periplasmic binding protein; Part of the ABC transporter complex RbsABC involved in ribose import. Binds ribose. Also serves as the primary chemoreceptor for chemotaxis
  
 0.974
rbsA
Ribose transport system atp-binding protein; Part of the ABC transporter complex RbsABC involved in ribose import. Responsible for energy coupling to the transport system
 
  
 0.953
rpiA
Ribose 5-phosphate isomerase, constitutive; Involved in the first step of the non-oxidative branch of the pentose phosphate pathway. It catalyzes the reversible conversion of ribose-5-phosphate to ribulose 5-phosphate. Can also act on D-ribose-5- diphosphate and D-ribose-5-triphosphate as substrate
 
 
 0.937
rpiB
Allose-6-phosphate isomerase/ribose-5-phosphate isomerase B; Catalyzes the interconversion of ribulose-5-P and ribose-5-P. It probably also has activity on D-allose 6-phosphate
    
 0.931
pgm
Phosphoglucomutase; This enzyme participates in both the breakdown and synthesis of glucose
    
 0.915
tktB
Transketolase 2, thiamine triphosphate-binding; Catalyzes the reversible transfer of a two-carbon ketol group from sedoheptulose-7-phosphate to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, producing xylulose-5-phosphate and ribose-5-phosphate. Catalyzes the transfer of a two-carbon ketol group from a ketose donor to an aldose acceptor, via a covalent intermediate with the cofactor thiamine pyrophosphate (By similarity)
