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

fimFMinor component of type 1 fimbriae; Involved in regulation of length and mediation of adhesion of type 1 fimbriae (but not necessary for the production of fimbriae). Involved in the integration of FimH in the fimbriae; Belongs to the fimbrial protein family. (176 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
fimC
Periplasmic chaperone; Required for the biogenesis of type 1 fimbriae. Binds and interact with FimH.
  
 
 0.999
fimG
Minor component of type 1 fimbriae; Involved in regulation of length and mediation of adhesion of type 1 fimbriae (but not necessary for the production of fimbriae). Involved in the integration of FimH in the fimbriae.
  
 
 0.999
fimH
Minor component of type 1 fimbriae; Involved in regulation of length and mediation of adhesion of type 1 fimbriae (but not necessary for the production of fimbriae). Adhesin responsible for the binding to D-mannose. It is laterally positioned at intervals in the structure of the type 1 fimbriae. In order to integrate FimH in the fimbriae FimF and FimG are needed.
  
 
 0.999
fimD
Fimbrial usher outer membrane porin protein; Involved in the export and assembly of FimA fimbrial subunits across the outer membrane.
  
 
 0.997
sfmH
FimA homolog, function unknown; Part of the sfmACDHF fimbrial operon. Could contribute to adhesion to various surfaces in specific environmental niches. Increases adhesion to eukaryotic T24 bladder epithelial cells in the absence of fim genes.
  
  
 0.996
sfmC
Putative periplasmic pilus chaperone; Part of the sfmACDHF fimbrial operon. Could contribute to adhesion to various surfaces in specific environmental niches. Increases adhesion to eukaryotic T24 bladder epithelial cells in the absence of fim genes.
    
 
 0.988
fimA
Major type 1 subunit fimbrin (pilin); Fimbriae (also called pili), polar filaments radiating from the surface of the bacterium to a length of 0.5-1.5 micrometers and numbering 100-300 per cell, enable bacteria to colonize the epithelium of specific host organs.
  
  
0.984
yfaL
Adhesin; Probably an autotransporter.
   
  
 0.935
sfmA
FimA homolog, function unknown; Part of the sfmACDHF fimbrial operon. Could contribute to adhesion to various surfaces in specific environmental niches. Increases adhesion to eukaryotic T24 bladder epithelial cells in the absence of fim genes.
      
0.933
fimI
Fimbrial protein; Protein involved in glycoprotein biosynthetic process.
  
  
0.882
