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

Score
metBCystathionine gamma-synthase, PLP-dependent; Catalyzes the formation of L-cystathionine from O-succinyl-L- homoserine (OSHS) and L-cysteine, via a gamma-replacement reaction. In the absence of thiol, catalyzes gamma-elimination to form 2- oxobutanoate, succinate and ammonia. (386 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
metL
Bifunctional aspartokinase/homoserine dehydrogenase 2; Aspartokinase II and homoserine dehydrogenase II; Protein involved in methionine biosynthetic process and homoserine biosynthetic process.
 
 0.999
metF
5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase; Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase required to generate the methyl groups necessary for methionine synthetase to convert homocysteine to methionine.
  
 
 0.999
metA
Homoserine O-transsuccinylase; Transfers a succinyl group from succinyl-CoA to L-homoserine, forming succinyl-L-homoserine. Utilizes a ping-pong kinetic mechanism in which the succinyl group of succinyl-CoA is initially transferred to the enzyme to form a succinyl-enzyme intermediate before subsequent transfer to homoserine to form the final product, O- succinylhomoserine. Cannot use acetyl-CoA. Belongs to the MetA family.
 
 
 0.997
metR
Methionine biosynthesis regulon transcriptional regulator; Control of the last step in methionine biosynthesis; MetR is a positive activator of the metA, metE and metH genes. MetR is also a negative regulator of its own expression. Binds homocysteine as an inducer; Belongs to the LysR transcriptional regulatory family.
   
  
 0.996
metE
5-methyltetrahydropteroyltriglutamate- homocysteine S-methyltransferase; Catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from 5- methyltetrahydrofolate to homocysteine resulting in methionine formation.
  
 
 0.994
cysK
Cysteine synthase A, O-acetylserine sulfhydrolase A subunit; (Microbial infection) In addition to its role in cysteine synthesis, stimulates the tRNase activity of CdiA-CT from E.coli strain 536 / UPEC; stimulation does not require O-acetylserine sulfhydrylase activity. CdiA is the toxic component of a toxin-immunity protein module, which functions as a cellular contact-dependent growth inhibition (CDI) system. CDI modules allow bacteria to communicate with and inhibit the growth of closely related neighboring bacteria in a contact-dependent fashion (experiments done in strains BW25113 [...]
 0.990
metH
homocysteine-N5-methyltetrahydrofolate transmethylase, B12-dependent; Catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from methyl- cobalamin to homocysteine, yielding enzyme-bound cob(I)alamin and methionine. Subsequently, remethylates the cofactor using methyltetrahydrofolate.
  
 
 0.984
metC
Cystathionine beta-lyase, PLP-dependent; Primarily catalyzes the cleavage of cystathionine to homocysteine, pyruvate and ammonia during methionine biosynthesis. Also exhibits cysteine desulfhydrase activity, producing sulfide from cysteine. In addition, under certain growth conditions, exhibits significant alanine racemase coactivity.
  
 
0.983
metJ
Transcriptional repressor, S-adenosylmethionine-binding; This regulatory protein, when combined with SAM (S- adenosylmethionine) represses the expression of the methionine regulon and of enzymes involved in SAM synthesis. It is also autoregulated.
  
  
 0.983
ybdL
Methionine aminotransferase, PLP-dependent; Shows aminotransferase activity with methionine and histidine as substrates, and to a lesser extent also with phenylalanine. Belongs to the class-I pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family.
 
  
 0.973
