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

galKGalactokinase (galK); Catalyzes the transfer of the gamma-phosphate of ATP to D- galactose to form alpha-D-galactose-1-phosphate (Gal-1-P). Belongs to the GHMP kinase family. GalK subfamily. (397 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
galT
Galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (galT); Similar to SP:P31764 GB:X65934 PID:1573833 percent identity: 99.14; identified by sequence similarity; putative.
 0.999
galM
Aldose 1-epimerase (galM); Mutarotase converts alpha-aldose to the beta-anomer. It is active on D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-xylose, D-galactose, maltose and lactose (By similarity).
 0.998
galE
UDP-glucose 4-epimerase (galE); Involved in the metabolism of galactose. Catalyzes the conversion of UDP-galactose (UDP-Gal) to UDP-glucose (UDP-Glc) through a mechanism involving the transient reduction of NAD. By controlling the internal galactose concentration, it may be linked to the biosynthesis of lipopolysaccharide surface molecules, which are important for the pathogenesis of H.influenzae.
 
 0.984
galU
Glucosephosphate uridylyltransferase (galU); May play a role in stationary phase survival; Belongs to the UDPGP type 2 family.
     
 0.772
galR
Galactose operon repressor (galR); Repressor of the galactose operon. Binds galactose as an inducer.
  
  
 0.758
rpsL
Ribosomal protein S12 (rps12); With S4 and S5 plays an important role in translational accuracy.
      
 0.693
fruA
PTS system, fructose-specific IIBC component (fruA); The phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent sugar phosphotransferase system (sugar PTS), a major carbohydrate active transport system, catalyzes the phosphorylation of incoming sugar substrates concomitantly with their translocation across the cell membrane. The enzyme II FruAB PTS system is involved in fructose transport.
      
 0.581
mglB
Galactose ABC transporter, periplasmic-binding protein (mglB); This protein is involved in the active transport of galactose and glucose.
 
   0.530
pepP
Aminopeptidase P (pepP); Similar to GB:D00398 SP:P15034 PID:216529 PID:216627 PID:882438 percent identity: 54.59; identified by sequence similarity; putative.
       0.502
pgi
Glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (pgi); Similar to SP:P11537 GB:X15196 PID:396360 PID:42377 GB:U00096 percent identity: 77.05; identified by sequence similarity; putative.
