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
spxAConserved 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. (131 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ABC2525
Dithiol-disulfide isomerase; Belongs to the UPF0413 family.
  
 
 0.865
ABC2767
General stress protein.
 
    0.845
rpoE
DNA-directed RNA polymerase delta subunit; Participates in both the initiation and recycling phases of transcription. In the presence of the delta subunit, RNAP displays an increased specificity of transcription, a decreased affinity for nucleic acids, and an increased efficiency of RNA synthesis because of enhanced recycling; Belongs to the RpoE family.
  
 
 0.807
rpoA
DNA-directed RNA polymerase alpha subunit; DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates.
    
 
 0.767
sigA
DNA-directed RNA polymerase major sigma-43 factor sigma-A; Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. This sigma factor is the primary sigma factor during exponential growth.
    
   0.739
rpoC
DNA-directed RNA polymerase beta' subunit; DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates.
    
   0.728
mecA-2
Negative 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.
 
  
 0.721
recU
Recombination protein U; Endonuclease that resolves Holliday junction intermediates in genetic recombination. Cleaves mobile four-strand junctions by introducing symmetrical nicks in paired strands. Promotes annealing of linear ssDNA with homologous dsDNA. Required for DNA repair, homologous recombination and chromosome segregation; Belongs to the RecU family.
  
     0.697
ABC2162
Conserved hypothetical protein.
  
     0.682
ABC2424
Conserved hypothetical protein; Belongs to the UPF0356 family.
  
 
   0.675
