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

gppGuanosine pentaphosphatase/exopolyphosphatase; Catalyzes the conversion of pppGpp to ppGpp. Guanosine pentaphosphate (pppGpp) is a cytoplasmic signaling molecule which together with ppGpp controls the 'stringent response', an adaptive process that allows bacteria to respond to amino acid starvation, resulting in the coordinated regulation of numerous cellular activities. In vitro, can hydrolyze pppGp. Also has exopolyphosphatase activity, catalyzing the release of orthophosphate by processive hydrolysis of the phosphoanyhydride bonds of polyphosphate chains (1000 residues). (494 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
relA
(p)ppGpp synthetase I/GTP pyrophosphokinase; In eubacteria ppGpp (guanosine 3'-diphosphate 5-' diphosphate) is a mediator of the stringent response which coordinates a variety of cellular activities in response to changes in nutritional abundance. This enzyme catalyzes the formation of pppGpp which is then hydrolyzed to form ppGpp. The second messengers ppGpp and c-di-GMP together control biofilm formation in response to translational stress; ppGpp represses biofilm formation while c-di-GMP induces it. ppGpp activates transcription of CsrA-antagonistic small RNAs CsrB and CsrC, which d [...]

ppk
Polyphosphate kinase, component of RNA degradosome; Catalyzes the reversible transfer of the terminal phosphate of ATP to form a long-chain polyphosphate (polyP). Can form linear polymers of orthophosphate with chain lengths up to 1000 or more. Can use GTP instead of ATP, but the efficiency of GTP is 5% that of ATP. Also exhibits several other enzymatic activities, which include: ATP synthesis from polyP in the presence of excess ADP, general nucleoside- diphosphate kinase activity, linear guanosine 5'-tetraphosphate (ppppG) synthesis and autophosphorylation.

ppx
Exopolyphosphatase; Degradation of inorganic polyphosphates (polyP). Releases orthophosphate processively from the ends of the polyP chain. Has a strong preference for long-chain polyphosphates and has only weak affinity for smaller size polyP of about 15 residues.

spoT
Bifunctional (p)ppGpp synthetase II/ guanosine-3',5'-bis pyrophosphate 3'-pyrophosphohydrolase; In eubacteria ppGpp (guanosine 3'-diphosphate 5-' diphosphate) is a mediator of the stringent response which coordinates a variety of cellular activities in response to changes in nutritional abundance. This enzyme catalyzes both the synthesis and degradation of ppGpp. The second messengers ppGpp and c-di-GMP together control biofilm formation in response to translational stress; ppGpp represses biofilm formation while c-di-GMP induces it. ppGpp activates transcription of CsrA-antagonistic s [...]

ygdH
UPF0717 family protein; Catalyzes the hydrolysis of the N-glycosidic bond of diverse pyrimidine and purine nucleotide 5'-monophosphates, to form ribose 5- phosphate and the corresponding free base. Can use AMP, GMP, IMP, CMP, dTMP and UMP as substrates. Cannot catalyze the reverse reactions. Is required for optimal growth in glucose minimal medium, possibly because it contributes to nucleoside pool homeostasis by degrading excess nucleotides and feeding back the ribose moiety to catabolism.

rhlB
ATP-dependent RNA helicase; DEAD-box RNA helicase involved in RNA degradation. Has RNA- dependent ATPase activity and unwinds double-stranded RNA. Belongs to the DEAD box helicase family. RhlB subfamily.
  
    0.666
nudG
CTP pyrophosphohydrolase; Hydrolase with a preference for pyrimidine substrates. Has high activity with 5-methyl-dCTP, and much lower activity with CTP, dCTP, 5-hydroxy-dCTP, 2-hydroxy-dATP and 8-hydroxy-dGTP.
      
 0.652
cadA
Lysine decarboxylase, acid-inducible; Inducible lysine decarboxylase that catalyzes the proton- dependent decarboxylation of L-lysine to produce the polyamine cadaverine and carbon dioxide. Plays a role in pH homeostasis by consuming protons and neutralizing the acidic by- products of carbohydrate fermentation. Belongs to the Orn/Lys/Arg decarboxylase class-I family.

obgE
GTPase involved in cell partioning and DNA repair; An abundant, essential GTPase which binds GTP, GDP and ppGpp with moderate affinity. Has high guanosine nucleotide exchange rate constants for GTP and GDP, and a relatively low GTP hydrolysis rate stimulated by the 50S ribosomal subunit. It is estimated there are 34000 molecules in log-phase cells and 5600 molecules in stationary- phase cells. Required for chromosome segregation. Plays a role in the stringent response, perhaps by sequestering 50S ribosomal subunits and decreasing protein synthesis , and a non-essential role in the late [...]

gph
Phosphoglycolate phosphatase; Specifically catalyzes the dephosphorylation of 2- phosphoglycolate (2P-Gly). Is involved in the dissimilation of the intracellular 2-phosphoglycolate formed during the DNA repair of 3'- phosphoglycolate ends, a major class of DNA lesions induced by oxidative stress; Belongs to the HAD-like hydrolase superfamily. CbbY/CbbZ/Gph/YieH family.
