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

Rv3273Rv3273, (MTCY71.13), len: 764 aa. Probable transmembrane protein (N-terminal part is hydrophobic) with probable carbonic anhydrase activity (in C-terminal part). Possibly involved in transport of sulfate. Equivalent to Q9CBA3|ML2279 putative transmembrane transport protein from Mycobacterium leprae (496 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1637,E(): 1.8e-89, (59.15% identity in 487 aa overlap). Similar to various proteins (principally sulfate transporters) e.g. Q9X927|SCH5.25 putative integral membrane protein from Streptomyces coelicolor (830 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1325,E(): 8e-71, (40.85% identi [...] (764 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
canA
Beta-carbonic anhydrase; Catalyzes the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide to form bicarbonate; Belongs to the beta-class carbonic anhydrase family.

canB
Beta-carbonic anhydrase CanB; Catalyzes the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide to form bicarbonate; Belongs to the beta-class carbonic anhydrase family.

pks12
Polyketide synthase Pks12; Rv2048c, (MTV018.35c), len: 4151 aa. Pks12,polyketide synthase similar to many. Contains 2x PS00012 Phosphopantetheine attachment site, 2x PS00606 Beta-ketoacyl synthases active site, and PS00343 Gram-positive cocci surface proteins 'anchoring' hexapeptide. Nucleotide position 2297976 in the genome sequence has been corrected, G:A resulting in S3004L.
 
 
 0.842
Rv3272
Conserved hypothetical protein; Probably involved in fatty acid metabolism. Binds to fatty acyl-CoAs of varying carbon chain lengths, with the highest binding affinity for palmitoyl-CoA (C16:0). In vitro, alters the cell wall lipid profile and protects mycobacteria from acidic, oxidative and antibiotic stress. May play a significant role in host-pathogen interaction.
  
    0.820
pks5
Probable polyketide synthase Pks5; Polyketide synthase likely involved in the biosynthesis of a polymethyl-branched fatty acid (PMB-FA) that might only be produced during host infection. Is required for the full virulence of M.tuberculosis during host infection.
  
 
 0.816
ppsC
Phenolpthiocerol synthesis type-I polyketide synthase PpsC; Involved in the elongation of either C22-24 fatty acids by the addition of malonyl-CoA and methylmalonyl-CoA extender units to yield phthiocerol derivatives.

mas
Rv2940c, (MTCY24G1.09, MTCY19H9.08c), len: 2111 aa. Probable mas, mycocerosic acid synthase membrane associated, multifunctional enzyme (see citations below),almost identical to Q02251|MCAS_MYCBO|mas mycocerosic acid synthase from Mycobacterium bovis (2110 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 13226, E(): 0, (95.8% identity in 2115 aa overlap) (see Mathur & Kolattukudy 1992); and equivalent to Q9CD78|mas|ML0139 putative mycocerosic synthase from Mycobacterium leprae (2116 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 12142,E(): 0, (87.95% identity in 2119 aa overlap); and Q49624|PKS3|MASA|ML1229|B1170_C2_209 probable myc [...]

pks2
Polyketide synthase Pks2; Catalyzes the synthesis of the hepta- and octamethyl phthioceranic acids and/or hydroxyphthioceranic acids that are the major acyl constituents of sulfolipids.
  
 
 0.816
qcrB
Probable ubiquinol-cytochrome C reductase QcrB (cytochrome B subunit); Cytochrome b subunit of the cytochrome bc1 complex, an essential component of the respiratory electron transport chain required for ATP synthesis. The bc1 complex catalyzes the oxidation of ubiquinol and the reduction of cytochrome c in the respiratory chain. The bc1 complex operates through a Q-cycle mechanism that couples electron transfer to generation of the proton gradient that drives ATP synthesis. The cytochrome b subunit contains two ubiquinol reactive sites: the oxidation (QP) site and the reduction (QN) site.

pks17
Rv1663, (MTCY275.02), len: 502 aa. Probable pks17,polyketide synthase, similar to other polyketide synthases e g. ERY2_SACER|Q03132 erythronolide synthase, modules 3 and 4 (3567 aa) from Saccharopolyspora erythraea (Streptomyces erythraeus), FASTA scores: opt: 1207, E(): 0,(43.9% identity in 531 aa overlap). Also similar to other Mycobacterium tuberculosis probable polyketide synthases e.g. pks7 and pks1. Note that the similarity extends into the upstream ORF Rv1662 (MTCY275.01) and this could be accounted for by a frameshift, although the sequence has been checked and no discrepancy w [...]
