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

btuBVitamin B12/cobalamin outer membrane transporter; Involved in the active translocation of vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) across the outer membrane to the periplasmic space. It derives its energy for transport by interacting with the trans- periplasmic membrane protein TonB. Is also a receptor for bacteriophages BF23 and C1, and for A and E colicins. (614 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
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 [...]

ompF
Outer membrane porin 1a (Ia;b;F); Forms pores that allow passive diffusion of small molecules across the outer membrane. (Microbial infection) A mixed OmpC-OmpF heterotrimer is the outer membrane receptor for toxin CdiA-EC536; polymorphisms in extracellular loops 4 and 5 of OmpC confer susceptibility to CdiA- EC536-mediated toxicity; Belongs to the Gram-negative porin family.

exbD
Membrane spanning protein in TonB-ExbB-ExbD complex; Involved in the TonB-dependent energy-dependent transport of various receptor-bound substrates.
 
  
 0.986
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.
 
  
 0.985
tolB
Periplasmic protein; Part of the Tol-Pal system, which plays a role in outer membrane invagination during cell division and is important for maintaining outer membrane integrity. TolB occupies a key intermediary position in the Tol-Pal system because it communicates directly with both membrane-embedded components, Pal in the outer membrane and TolA in the inner membrane. Is also involved in the uptake of some colicins A. The Tol-Pal system is also required for polar localization of chemoreceptors clusters.

btuF
Vitamin B12 ABC transporter periplasmic binding protein; Part of the ABC transporter complex BtuCDF involved in vitamin B12 import. Binds vitamin B12 and delivers it to the periplasmic surface of BtuC.
 
  
 0.958
murI
Glutamate racemase; Provides the (R)-glutamate required for cell wall biosynthesis. Belongs to the aspartate/glutamate racemases family.
 
  
 0.930
btuC
Vitamin B12 ABC transporter permease; Part of the ABC transporter complex BtuCDF involved in vitamin B12 import. Involved in the translocation of the substrate across the membrane; Belongs to the binding-protein-dependent transport system permease family. FecCD subfamily.
 
   
 0.925
tsx
Nucleoside channel, receptor of phage T6 and colicin K; Functions as substrate-specific channel for nucleosides and deoxynucleosides. Has a greater affinity for deoxynucleosides than for nucleosides, and does not transport free bases. In addition, constitutes the receptor for colicin K and phage T6. Belongs to the nucleoside-specific channel-forming outer membrane porin (Tsx) (TC 1.B.10) family.
   
 
 0.913
ompA
Outer membrane protein A (3a;II*;G;d); With TolR probably plays a role in maintaining the position of the peptidoglycan cell wall in the periplasm (Probable). Plays a role in resistance to environmental stress, and a role in outer membrane functionality and cell shape. Non-covalently binds peptidoglycan (Probable). Acts as a porin with low permeability that allows slow penetration of small solutes. A very abundant protein, there can be up to 210,000 OmpA molecules per cell. Reconstitution in unilamellar lipid vesicles shows only about 3% of the protein is in an open conformation, whic [...]
