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

melAAlpha-galactosidase, nad(p)-binding; Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 4 family (451 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
melB
Melibiose:h(+)/na(+)/li(+) 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)
  
 0.988
melR
Arac family transcriptional regulator, melibiose operon regulatory protein; Transcription activator for the expression of the melAB operon. MelR binds at two sites located upstream of the melAB transcription site
 
  
 0.966
lacZ
Beta-d-galactosidase; Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 2 family
  
 
 0.954
ebgA
Evolved beta-d-galactosidase, alpha subunit; The wild-type enzyme is an ineffective lactase. Two classes of point mutations dramatically improve activity of the enzyme
  
  
 0.935
malZ
Maltodextrin glucosidase; May play a role in regulating the intracellular level of maltotriose. Cleaves glucose from the reducing end of maltotriose and longer maltodextrins with a chain length of up to 7 glucose units
     
 0.919
galM
Galactose-1-epimerase; Mutarotase converts alpha-aldose to the beta-anomer. It is active on D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-xylose, D-galactose, maltose and lactose
     
 0.905
ebgC
DUF386 domain-containing evolved beta-D-galactosidase subunit beta; Required for full activity of the EbgA enzyme. Exact function not known
     
 0.902
yihR
Putative sulphoquinovose mutarotase; Uncharacterized protein YihR; Putative aldose-1-epimerase
     
  0.900
aes
Displays esterase activity towards short chain fatty esters (acyl chain length of up to 8 carbons). Able to hydrolyze triacetylglycerol (triacetin) and tributyrylglycerol (tributyrin), but not trioleylglycerol (triolein) or cholesterol oleate. Negatively regulates MalT activity by antagonizing maltotriose binding. Inhibits MelA galactosidase activity
  
 
 
 0.865
uidA
Beta-d-glucuronidase; Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 2 family
  
   
 0.690
