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

melRMelibiose operon transcriptional regulator; Transcription activator for the expression of the melAB operon. MelR binds at two sites located upstream of the melAB transcription site. (302 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
araC
Ara regulon transcriptional activator; Transcription factor that regulates the expression of several genes involved in the transport and metabolism of L-arabinose. Functions both as a positive and a negative regulator. In the presence of arabinose, activates the expression of the araBAD, araE, araFGH and araJ promoters. In the absence of arabinose, negatively regulates the araBAD operon. Represses its own transcription. Acts by binding directly to DNA.
  
  
 0.945
rhaR
Transcriptional activator of rhaSR; Activates expression of the rhaSR operon in response to L- rhamnose.
  
  
 0.934
rhaS
Transcriptional activator of rhaBAD and rhaT; Activates expression of the rhaBAD and rhaT operons.
  
  
 0.899
melB
Melibiose:sodium symporter; Responsible for melibiose and other galactoside transport. It is capable of using hydrogen, sodium, and lithium cations as coupling cations for cotransport, depending on the particular sugar transported (symport system).
 
  
 0.887
melA
Alpha-galactosidase, NAD(P)-binding; Alpha-galactosidase; Protein involved in carbohydrate catabolic process and NAD biosynthetic process; Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 4 family.
 
  
 0.830
ypdC
Putative ARAC-type regulatory protein; Protein involved in transcription activator activity and transcription.
  
   
 0.819
crp
cAMP-activated global transcription factor, mediator of catabolite repression; A global transcription regulator. Complexes with cyclic AMP (cAMP) which allosterically activates DNA binding (to consensus sequence 5'-AAATGTGATCTAGATCACATTT-3') to directly regulate the transcription of about 300 genes in about 200 operons and indirectly regulate the expression of about half the genome. There are 3 classes of CRP promoters; class I promoters have a single CRP-binding site upstream of the RNA polymerase (RNAP)-binding site, whereas in class II promoters the single CRP- and RNAP-binding site [...]
   
  
 0.775
rclR
Reactive chlorine species (RCS)-specific activator of the rcl genes; Involved in reactive chlorine species (RCS) stress resistance. Upregulates, in response to hypochlorous acid (HOCl), the expression of three genes essential for survival of RCS stress (rclA, rclB and rclC) and its own expression.
  
     0.751
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.
    
 
 0.742
marA
Multiple antibiotic resistance transcriptional regulator; May be a transcriptional activator of genes involved in the multiple antibiotic resistance (Mar) phenotype. It can also activate genes such as sodA, zwf and micF.
