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

tgs1Triacylglycerol synthase (diacylglycerol acyltransferase) Tgs1; Catalyzes the terminal and only committed step in triacylglycerol synthesis by using diacylglycerol and fatty acyl CoA as substrates. Required for storage lipid synthesis (Probable). (463 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Rv3131
Conserved protein; Stimulates pro-inflammatory cytokine expression via TLR2 signaling pathway. Activation of TLR2 results in the phosphorylation and activation of NF-kappa-B. Also induces TLR2 expression. May influence the innate immune responses to facilitate the survival of M.tuberculosis in the granulomatous microenvironment. Belongs to the nitroreductase family.

hspX
Heat shock protein HspX (alpha-crystallin homolog) (14 kDa antigen) (HSP16.3); Acts as a chaperone, as it has a significant ability to suppress the thermal denaturation of alcohol dehydrogenase. Cells overexpressing this gene grow more slowly than wild-type cells, and are less susceptible to autolysis following saturation of the culture in vitro, suggesting this protein may slow down the growth rate of M.tuberculosis in culture and by extension during macrophage infection. Belongs to the small heat shock protein (HSP20) family.

acg
Conserved protein Acg; Rv2032, (MTV018.19), len: 331 aa. Acg (for acr-coregulated gene), conserved protein possibly member of a superfamily of classical nitroreductases (see Purkayastha et al., 2002), similar to Rv3127 and Rv3131. Predicted possible vaccine candidate (See Zvi et al., 2008); Belongs to the nitroreductase family.
 
  
 0.925
lipY
Triacylglycerol lipase; Responsible for the utilization of stored long-chain triacylglycerol (TG) during dormancy and reactivation stage of the infection cycle. Catalyzes the hydrolysis of long-chain triacylglycerol with high specific activity; In the C-terminal section; belongs to the 'GDXG' lipolytic enzyme family.

Rv2627c
Conserved protein; Rv2627c, (MTCY01A10.05), len: 413 aa. Conserved protein. Some similarity in C-terminal part of O53697|Rv0293c|MTV035.21c hypothetical 44.0 KDA protein from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (400 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 392, E(): 1.9e-17, (31.1% identity in 299 aa overlap). Alternative nucleotide at position 2954439 (T->C; R104G) has been observed. Predicted possible vaccine candidate (See Zvi et al., 2008).

fdxA
Ferredoxin FdxA; Ferredoxins are iron-sulfur proteins that transfer electrons in a wide variety of metabolic reactions.
  
  
 0.921
Rv3127
Conserved protein; Rv3127, (MTCY164.37), len: 344 aa. Conserved protein, highly similar to Mycobacterium tuberculosis protein O53476|Rv2032|MTV018.19 (331 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1212, E(): 6e-69, (56.7% identity in 321 aa overlap),and also similar to P95195|MTCY03A2.27c (332 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 521, E(): 1.6e-25; (35.0% identity in 326 aa overlap). Some similarity to C-terminal half of hypothetical Mycobacterium tuberculosis proteins. Predicted possible vaccine candidate (See Zvi et al., 2008).

Rv1738
Conserved protein; Rv1738, (MTCY04C12.23), len: 94 aa. Conserved protein, similar to P71931|Rv2632c|YQ32_MYCTU Hypothetical 10.1 kDa protein from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (93 aa),FASTA scores: opt: 319, E(): 2.6e-27, (53.9% identity in 89 aa overlap). Predicted possible vaccine candidate (See Zvi et al., 2008); To M.tuberculosis Rv2632c.

Rv0079
Unknown protein; Involved in translation regulation. Inhibits protein synthesis and decreases bacterial growth when expressed in E.coli. Can also stimulate macrophages and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) to secrete important cytokines that may be significant in granuloma formation and its maintenance. Increases secretion of IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, IL-1 beta and IL-8 through human Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) signaling pathway.

dagK
Diacylglycerol kinase; Catalyzes the phosphorylation of diacylglycerol (DAG) into phosphatidic acid. Is involved in the biosynthesis of phosphatidylinositol mannosides (PIMs), probably via a role in the biosynthesis of phosphatidylinositol (PI), a PIM precursor, which is derived from phosphatidic acid (By similarity); Belongs to the diacylglycerol/lipid kinase family.
