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

pafAProteasome accessory factor a PafA; Catalyzes the covalent attachment of the prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein modifier Pup to the proteasomal substrate proteins, thereby targeting them for proteasomal degradation. This tagging system is termed pupylation. The ligation reaction involves the side-chain carboxylate of the C-terminal glutamate of Pup and the side- chain amino group of a substrate lysine. PafA is required to confer resistance against the lethal effects of reactive nitrogen intermediates (RNI), antimicrobial molecules produced by activated macrophages and other cell types. (452 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
pafB
Proteasome accessory factor B PafB; Part of the pafABC operon, however PafB does not seem to be involved in pupylation or substrate degradation. Appears to play at least a small role in resistance to reactive nitrogen intermediates (RNI) in vitro.

prcA
Proteasome alpha subunit PrcA; Component of the proteasome core, a large protease complex with broad specificity involved in protein degradation. The M.tuberculosis proteasome is able to cleave oligopeptides not only after hydrophobic but also after basic, acidic and small neutral residues. In complex with the ATPase Mpa, degrades protein targets conjugated to a prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein (Pup). Among the identified substrates of the M.tuberculosis proteasome are the pupylated FabD, PanB and Mpa proteins. One function of the proteasome is to contribute to M.tuberculosis ability [...]

mpa
Mycobacterial proteasome ATPase Mpa; ATPase which is responsible for recognizing, binding, unfolding and translocation of pupylated proteins into the bacterial 20S proteasome core particle. May be essential for opening the gate of the 20S proteasome via an interaction with its C-terminus, thereby allowing substrate entry and access to the site of proteolysis. Thus, the C-termini of the proteasomal ATPase may function like a 'key in a lock' to induce gate opening and therefore regulate proteolysis. Is required but not sufficient to confer resistance against the lethal effects of reactiv [...]

pafC
Proteasome accessory factor C PafC; Part of the pafABC operon, but PafC does not seem to be involved in pupylation or substrate degradation. Appears to play at least a small role in resistance to reactive nitrogen intermediates (RNI) in vitro.

prcB
Proteasome beta subunit PrcB; Component of the proteasome core, a large protease complex with broad specificity involved in protein degradation. The M.tuberculosis proteasome is able to cleave oligopeptides not only after hydrophobic but also after basic, acidic and small neutral residues. In complex with the ATPase Mpa, degrades protein targets conjugated to a prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein (Pup). Among the identified substrates of the M.tuberculosis proteasome are the pupylated FabD, PanB and Mpa proteins. One function of the proteasome is to contribute to M.tuberculosis ability [...]

pup
Prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein Pup; Protein modifier that is covalently attached to lysine residues of substrate proteins, thereby targeting them for proteasomal degradation. The tagging system is termed pupylation. Among the identified substrates are the FabD, PanB and Mpa proteins. Belongs to the prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein family.

Rv0433
Conserved hypothetical protein; ATP-dependent carboxylate-amine ligase which exhibits weak glutamate--cysteine ligase activity; Belongs to the glutamate--cysteine ligase type 2 family. YbdK subfamily.
   
  
 0.902
tatA
Sec-independent protein translocase membrane-bound protein TatA; Part of the twin-arginine translocation (Tat) system that transports large folded proteins containing a characteristic twin- arginine motif in their signal peptide across membranes. TatA could form the protein-conducting channel of the Tat system. Belongs to the TatA/E family.
  
  
 0.824
bpa
Conserved protein; Interacts with the core proteasome alpha-subunit (PrcA) through its C-terminal hydrophobic-tyrosine-X motif (HbYX motif). Interaction of Bpa with the proteasome stimulates proteosomal peptidase and casein degradation activity, which suggests Bpa could play a role in the removal of non-native or damaged proteins by influencing the conformation of the proteasome complex upon interaction. Can inhibit degradation of Pup-tagged substrates in vitro by competing with Mpa for association with the proteasome; Belongs to the Bpa family.
  
  
 0.777
panB
3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate hydroxymethyltransferase PanB; Catalyzes the reversible reaction in which hydroxymethyl group from 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate is transferred onto alpha- ketoisovalerate to form ketopantoate.
