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

rfaHTranscription antitermination protein; Enhances distal genes transcription elongation in a specialized subset of operons that encode extracytoplasmic components. RfaH is recruited into a multi-component RNA polymerase complex by the ops element, which is a short conserved DNA sequence located downstream of the main promoter of these operons. Once bound, RfaH suppresses pausing and inhibits Rho-dependent and intrinsic termination at a subset of sites. Termination signals are bypassed, which allows complete synthesis of long RNA chains. Enhances expression of several operons involved in [...] (162 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
rpoC
RNA polymerase, beta prime subunit; DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates.
  
 
 0.980
rpoB
RNA polymerase, beta subunit; DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates.
  
 
 0.977
nusG
Transcription termination factor; Participates in transcription elongation, termination and antitermination. In the absence of Rho, increases the rate of transcription elongation by the RNA polymerase (RNAP), probably by partially suppressing pausing. In the presence of Rho, modulates most Rho-dependent termination events by interacting with the RNAP to render the complex more susceptible to the termination activity of Rho. May be required to overcome a kinetic limitation of Rho to function at certain terminators. Also involved in ribosomal RNA and phage lambda N-mediated transcription [...]
   
  
 0.950
rpoA
RNA polymerase, alpha subunit; DNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RNAP) catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates. This subunit plays an important role in subunit assembly since its dimerization is the first step in the sequential assembly of subunits to form the holoenzyme.
  
 
 0.933
rho
Transcription termination factor; Facilitates transcription termination by a mechanism that involves Rho binding to the nascent RNA, activation of Rho's RNA- dependent ATPase activity, and release of the mRNA from the DNA template. RNA-dependent NTPase which utilizes all four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates.
   
  
 0.912
rpsJ
30S ribosomal subunit protein S10; Involved in the binding of tRNA to the ribosomes. In addition, in complex with NusB, is involved in the regulation of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) biosynthesis by transcriptional antitermination. S10 binds RNA non-specifically and increases the affinity of NusB for the boxA RNA sequence. S10 may constitute the critical antitermination component of the NusB-S10 complex. Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS10 family.
  
  
 0.911
rpoZ
RNA polymerase, omega subunit; Promotes RNA polymerase assembly. Latches the N- and C- terminal regions of the beta' subunit thereby facilitating its interaction with the beta and alpha subunits.
  
 
 0.864
yaeQ
PDDEXK superfamily protein.
      
 0.828
rplK
50S ribosomal subunit protein L11; Forms part of the ribosomal stalk which helps the ribosome interact with GTP-bound translation factors; Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL11 family.
  
  
 0.812
waaQ
Lipopolysaccharide core biosynthesis protein; Catalyzes heptose transfer to the lipopolysaccharide core. It transfers a heptose, called heptose(III), to the heptose(II) of the inner core (By similarity); Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 9 family.
