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

iscUNifU-like protein; A scaffold on which IscS assembles Fe-S clusters. It is likely that Fe-S cluster coordination is flexible as the role of this complex is to build and then hand off Fe-S clusters. (128 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
iscS
Cysteine desulfurase; Master enzyme that delivers sulfur to a number of partners involved in Fe-S cluster assembly, tRNA modification or cofactor biosynthesis. Catalyzes the removal of elemental sulfur atoms from cysteine to produce alanine. Functions as a sulfur delivery protein for Fe-S cluster synthesis onto IscU, an Fe-S scaffold assembly protein, as well as other S acceptor proteins.

hscB
Co-chaperone protein HscB; Co-chaperone involved in the maturation of iron-sulfur cluster-containing proteins. Seems to help targeting proteins to be folded toward HscA; Belongs to the HscB family.
 
 
 0.995
cyaY
Frataxin-like protein; Involved in iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster assembly. May act as a regulator of Fe-S biogenesis.
  
 
 0.990
fdx
2Fe-2S ferredoxin.
 
 0.982
nfuA
Fe/S biogenesis protein NfuA; Involved in iron-sulfur cluster biogenesis. Binds a 4Fe-4S cluster, can transfer this cluster to apoproteins, and thereby intervenes in the maturation of Fe/S proteins. Could also act as a scaffold/chaperone for damaged Fe/S proteins.
  
 
 0.971
hscA
Chaperone protein HscA; Chaperone involved in the maturation of iron-sulfur cluster- containing proteins. Has a low intrinsic ATPase activity which is markedly stimulated by HscB. Involved in the maturation of IscU.
 
 
 0.961
iscR
HTH-type transcriptional regulator IscR; Regulates the transcription of several operons and genes involved in the biogenesis of Fe-S clusters and Fe-S-containing proteins.
  
  
 0.947
djlA
DnaJ-like protein DjlA; Regulatory DnaK co-chaperone. Direct interaction between DnaK and DjlA is needed for the induction of the wcaABCDE operon, involved in the synthesis of a colanic acid polysaccharide capsule, possibly through activation of the RcsB/RcsC phosphotransfer signaling pathway. The colanic acid capsule may help the bacterium survive conditions outside the host.

sufS_1
Cysteine desulfurase; Cysteine desulfurases mobilize the sulfur from L-cysteine to yield L-alanine, an essential step in sulfur metabolism for biosynthesis of a variety of sulfur-containing biomolecules. Component of the suf operon, which is activated and required under specific conditions such as oxidative stress and iron limitation. Acts as a potent selenocysteine lyase in vitro, that mobilizes selenium from L- selenocysteine. Selenocysteine lyase activity is however unsure in vivo.
