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

eisEnhanced intracellular survival protein Eis,GCN5-related N-acetyltransferase; Effector that is released into the host cell and affects host immune responses; it negatively modulates inflammation, macrophage autophagy, and cell death through redox-dependent signaling. Acts as an acetyltransferase. Acetylates 'Lys-55' of dual-specificity protein phosphatase 16 (DUSP16)/mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-7 (MKP-7), a JNK- specific phosphatase; this leads to the inhibition of JNK-dependent autophagy, phagosome maturation, and ROS (reactive oxygen species) generation for enhanced [...] (402 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
tlyA
2'-O-methyltransferase TlyA; Acts as a host evasion factor, that significantly contributes to the pathogenesis of M.tuberculosis by modulating adaptive immune responses by inhibiting host-protective Th1 and Th17 cytokine responses as well as autophagy. Catalyzes the 2'-O-methylation at nucleotides C1409 in 16S rRNA and C1920 in 23S rRNA. Is likely involved in ribosomal biogenesis. Also exhibits hemolytic activity in vitro, by binding with and oligomerizing into host cell membranes. Belongs to the TlyA family.

embB
Probable arabinosyltransferase B; Arabinosyl transferase responsible for the polymerization of arabinose into the arabinan of arabinogalactan; Belongs to the emb family.
      
 0.951
whiB7
Probable transcriptional regulatory protein WhiB-like WhiB7; The apo- but not holo-form probably binds DNA (By similarity). Acts as a transcriptional regulator. Probably redox- responsive. Upon overproduction at least 10 other genes are up- regulated, among them are Rv1258c, Rv1988, Rv2301, Rv2416c, Rv2725c and whiB7 itself. Probably redox-responsive. The apo-form has been shown to act as a protein disulfide reductase.
   
  
 0.946
pncA
Pyrazinamidase/nicotinamidase PncA (PZase); Catalyzes the deamidation of nicotinamide (NAM) into nicotinate. Likely functions in the cyclical salvage pathway for production of NAD from nicotinamide (By similarity). Belongs to the isochorismatase family.
     
 0.928
inhA
NADH-dependent enoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] reductase InhA (NADH-dependent enoyl-ACP reductase); Enoyl-ACP reductase of the type II fatty acid syntase (FAS- II) system, which is involved in the biosynthesis of mycolic acids, a major component of mycobacterial cell walls. Catalyzes the NADH-dependent reduction of the double bond of 2-trans- enoyl-[acyl-carrier protein], an essential step in the fatty acid elongation cycle of the FAS-II pathway. Shows preference for long-chain fatty acyl thioester substrates (>C16), and can also use 2-trans-enoyl-CoAs as alternative substrates. The mycob [...]
   
  
 0.908
tap
Probable conserved integral membrane transport protein; Efflux pump that contributes to intrinsic antibiotic resistance. The pump uses the electrochemical gradient as a source of energy (By similarity). Confers resistance to rifampicin. Confers low-level resistance to tetracycline and to several aminoglycosides, including streptomycin, gentamicin, 2'-N- ethylnetilmicin and 6'-N-ethylnetilmicin.
   
  
 0.898
rpoB
DNA-directed RNA polymerase subunit beta; DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates.
   
  
 0.875
katG
Catalase-peroxidase-peroxynitritase T KatG; Bifunctional enzyme with both catalase and broad-spectrum peroxidase activity, oxidizing various electron donors including NADP(H). Protects M.tuberculosis against toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) including hydrogen peroxide as well as organic peroxides and thus contributes to its survival within host macrophages by countering the phagocyte oxidative burst. Also displays efficient peroxynitritase activity, which may help the bacterium to persist in macrophages. Catalyzes the oxidative activation of the antitubercular pro- drug isoniazid (I [...]
   
  
 0.875
rpsL
30S ribosomal protein S12 RpsL; With S4 and S5 plays an important role in translational accuracy.
      
 0.874
gyrB
DNA gyrase subunit B; A type II topoisomerase that negatively supercoils closed circular double-stranded (ds) DNA in an ATP-dependent manner to maintain chromosomes in an underwound state, while in the absence of ATP it relaxes supercoiled dsDNA. . Also catalyzes the interconversion of other topological isomers of dsDNA rings, including catenanes. Gyrase from M.tuberculosis has higher decatenation than supercoiling activity compared to E.coli; as M.tuberculosis only has 1 type II topoisomerase, gyrase has to fulfill the decatenation function of topoisomerase IV as well. At comparable c [...]
