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

melBMelibiose: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) (473 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
melA
Alpha-galactosidase, nad(p)-binding; Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 4 family
  
 0.988
lacY
Mfs transporter, ohs family, lactose permease; Responsible for transport of beta-galactosides into the cell, with the concomitant import of a proton (symport system). Can transport lactose, melibiose, lactulose or the analog methyl-1-thio-beta,D- galactopyranoside (TMG), but not sucrose or fructose The substrate specificity is directed toward the galactopyranosyl moiety of the substrate
      
 0.905
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
 
   
 0.896
xylE
Mfs transporter, sp family, xylose:h+ symportor; Uptake of D-xylose across the boundary membrane with the concomitant transport of protons into the cell (symport system). Glucose is not transported, but can compete for xylose binding sites and can inhibit xylose transport (in vitro)
 
  
 0.770
crr
Glucose-specific enzyme iia component of pts; The phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent sugar phosphotransferase system (sugar PTS), a major carbohydrate active transport system, catalyzes the phosphorylation of incoming sugar substrates concomitantly with their translocation across the cell membrane . The enzyme II complex composed of PtsG and Crr is involved in glucose transport . The non-phosphorylated EIII-Glc is an inhibitor for uptake of certain sugars such as maltose, melibiose, lactose, and glycerol. Phosphorylated EIII-Glc, however, may be an activator for adenylate cyclase. It is an [...]
 
    
 0.739
nhaA
Na+:h+ antiporter, nhaa family; Na(+)/H(+) antiporter that extrudes sodium in exchange for external protons. Catalyzes the exchange of 2 H(+) per Na(+). Can mediate sodium uptake when a transmembrane pH gradient is applied. Active at alkaline pH. Activity is strongly down-regulated below pH 6.5
     
 0.618
rarD
Putative chloramphenical resistance permease; Protein involved in response to drug and chloramphenicol transport
   
  
 0.606
hdhA
7-alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, NAD-dependent; Catalyzes the oxidation of the 7-alpha-hydroxy group of primary bile acids such as cholate, chenodeoxycholate and taurochenodeoxycholate . To a lesser extent, also able to use taurocholate and glycocholate
   
  
 0.588
fucP
Mfs transporter, fhs family, l-fucose permease; Mediates the uptake of L-fucose across the boundary membrane with the concomitant transport of protons into the cell (symport system). Can also transport L-galactose and D-arabinose, but at reduced rates compared with L-fucose. Is not able to transport L-rhamnose and L-arabinose
     
 0.572
glpK
Glycerol kinase; Key enzyme in the regulation of glycerol uptake and metabolism. Catalyzes the phosphorylation of glycerol to yield sn- glycerol 3-phosphate. It also catalyzes the phosphorylation of dihydroxyacetone, L-glyceraldehyde and D-glyceraldehyde. It uses only ATP
