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
mecANegative regulator of genetic competence; Enables the recognition and targeting of unfolded and aggregated proteins to the ClpC protease or to other proteins involved in proteolysis. Acts negatively in the development of competence by binding ComK and recruiting it to the ClpCP protease. When overexpressed, inhibits sporulation. Also involved in Spx degradation by ClpC. (200 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
clpC
ATP-dependent Clp protease ATP-binding subunit ClpC; Belongs to the ClpA/ClpB family.
    
 
 0.860
ABC0808
Conserved hypothetical protein.
  
     0.717
clpE
ATP-dependent Clp protease ATP-binding subunit ClpE; Belongs to the ClpA/ClpB family.
    
 
 0.706
clpX
ATP-dependent Clp protease ATP-binding subunit ClpX; ATP-dependent specificity component of the Clp protease. It directs the protease to specific substrates. Can perform chaperone functions in the absence of ClpP.
      
 0.700
lonA
ATP-dependent Lon protease; ATP-dependent serine protease that mediates the selective degradation of mutant and abnormal proteins as well as certain short- lived regulatory proteins. Required for cellular homeostasis and for survival from DNA damage and developmental changes induced by stress. Degrades polypeptides processively to yield small peptide fragments that are 5 to 10 amino acids long. Binds to DNA in a double-stranded, site-specific manner.
      
 0.664
ABC0054
Conserved hypothetical protein; Involved in initiation control of chromosome replication. Belongs to the YabA family.
  
     0.658
ABC2370
Conserved hypothetical protein.
  
     0.646
ABC3039
Conserved hypothetical protein.
  
    0.624
rsfA
Prespore specific transcriptional activator RsfA.
  
     0.596
msrA
Peptide methionine sulfoxide reductase; Has an important function as a repair enzyme for proteins that have been inactivated by oxidation. Catalyzes the reversible oxidation-reduction of methionine sulfoxide in proteins to methionine.
  
  
 0.581
