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.

mecA-2Negative regulator of genetic competence MecA; 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. (209 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
clpC
ATP-dependent Clp protease ATP-binding subunit ClpC; Belongs to the ClpA/ClpB family.
    
 
 0.987
clpE
ATP-dependent Clp protease ATP-binding subunit ClpE; Belongs to the ClpA/ClpB family.
    
 
 0.920
clpP
ATP-dependent Clp protease proteolytic subunit; Cleaves peptides in various proteins in a process that requires ATP hydrolysis. Has a chymotrypsin-like activity. Plays a major role in the degradation of misfolded proteins. ClpXP2 is involved in the complete degradation of the Site-2 clipped anti-sigma-W factor RsiW. This results in the release of SigW and the transcription activation of the genes under the control of the sigma-W factor (By similarity); Belongs to the peptidase S14 family.
   
 
 0.859
spxA
Conserved hypothetical protein; Interferes with activator-stimulated transcription by interaction with the RNA polymerase alpha-CTD. May function to globally reduce transcription of genes involved in growth- and development- promoting processes and to increase transcription of genes involved in thiol homeostasis, during periods of extreme stress. Belongs to the ArsC family. Spx subfamily.
 
  
 0.802
ABC2526
Competence protein/transcription factor.
 
   
 0.758
ABC0054
Conserved hypothetical protein; Involved in initiation control of chromosome replication. Belongs to the YabA family.
  
     0.743
clpP1
ATP-dependent Clp protease proteolytic subunit; Cleaves peptides in various proteins in a process that requires ATP hydrolysis. Has a chymotrypsin-like activity. Plays a major role in the degradation of misfolded proteins. Belongs to the peptidase S14 family.
   
 
 0.704
ABC2767
General stress protein.
  
     0.677
mcsB
Modulator of CtsR repression McsB; Catalyzes the specific phosphorylation of arginine residues in a large number of proteins. Is part of the bacterial stress response system. Protein arginine phosphorylation has a physiologically important role and is involved in the regulation of many critical cellular processes, such as protein homeostasis, motility, competence, and stringent and stress responses, by regulating gene expression and protein activity.
      
 0.675
ecsB
Multidrug ABC transporter permease.
  
     0.668
