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.

infBTranslation initiation factor aIF-2; Function in general translation initiation by promoting the binding of the formylmethionine-tRNA to ribosomes. Seems to function along with eIF-2. (610 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
rpl2
Ribosomal protein L2; One of the primary rRNA binding proteins. Required for association of the 30S and 50S subunits to form the 70S ribosome, for tRNA binding and peptide bond formation. It has been suggested to have peptidyltransferase activity; this is somewhat controversial. Makes several contacts with the 16S rRNA in the 70S ribosome. Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL2 family.
 
 0.988
rps3
Ribosomal protein S3; Binds the lower part of the 30S subunit head. Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS3 family.
  
 
 0.981
eif2g
Protein synthesis factor GTP-binding protein; eIF-2 functions in the early steps of protein synthesis by forming a ternary complex with GTP and initiator tRNA. Belongs to the TRAFAC class translation factor GTPase superfamily. Classic translation factor GTPase family. EIF2G subfamily.
 
 
 0.979
rps5
Ribosomal protein S5; With S4 and S12 plays an important role in translational accuracy.
  
 0.975
rps19p
Ribosomal protein S19; Protein S19 forms a complex with S13 that binds strongly to the 16S ribosomal RNA.
  
 
 0.972
rps2
Ribosomal protein S2; KEGG: expressed hypothetical protein; K02998 small subunit ribosomal protein SAe; TIGRFAM: ribosomal protein S2; PFAM: ribosomal protein S2; Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS2 family.
  
 0.972
rpl10e
KEGG: 60S ribosomal protein L10; K02866 large subunit ribosomal protein L10e; TIGRFAM: ribosomal protein L10.e; PFAM: Ribosomal protein L10e/L16; Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL16 family.
   
 0.971
rpl15
Ribosomal protein L15; Binds to the 23S rRNA; Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL15 family.
   
 0.971
rps9
Ribosomal protein S9P; KEGG: SORBIDRAFT_05g001680; hypothetical protein; TIGRFAM: ribosomal protein S9P; PFAM: ribosomal protein S9; Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS9 family.
 
 0.971
rps4
Ribosomal protein S4; One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds directly to 16S rRNA where it nucleates assembly of the body of the 30S subunit.
  
 
 0.970
