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

essBConserved hypothetical protein; Component of the type VII secretion system (Ess) (Probable). Required for the secretion of EsxA and EsxB (By similarity). (444 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
essC
Conserved hypothetical protein; Component of the type VII secretion system (Ess). Required for the secretion of substrates including EsxA and EsxB. However, unable to support secretion of the substrate protein EsxC. Belongs to the EssC family.
 
  
 0.998
esaA
Conserved hypothetical protein; Component of the type VII secretion system (Ess). Provides together with EssB and other components such as EssC and EssE a secretion platform across the cytoplasmic membrane in the host.
 
  
 0.997
esxA
Conserved hypothetical protein; Virulence factor that is important for the establishment of infection in the host. EsxA is required for EsxB synthesis as well as secretion (By similarity). Modulates host cell apoptotic pathways and mediates together with EsxB the release of S.aureus from the host cell. By acting on apoptosis, plays a role in the modulation of dendritic cell-mediated immunity (By similarity).
 
  
 0.982
essD
Conserved hypothetical protein; Component of the type VII secretion system (Ess). Plays a role in Ess secretion during infection. Required for the efficient secretion of EsxA. Required for abscess formation and staphylococcal persistence in host tissues (By similarity). Possesses a toxic DNase activity that is modulated by EssG by forming a nuclease toxin- antitoxin pair. This nuclease toxin targets competitor bacteria.

ABD29434.1
Conserved hypothetical protein.
  
  
 0.919
ABD29433.1
Conserved hypothetical protein.
     
 0.898
essE
Conserved hypothetical protein; Component of the type VII secretion system (Ess). Plays a role in Esx protein secretion. Plays an essential role in the processing and secretion of EssD.
     
 0.863
esxB
Conserved hypothetical protein; Virulence factor that is important for the establishment of infection in the host. EsxB is required for EsxA synthesis as well as secretion (By similarity). Mediates together with EsxA the release of S.aureus from the host cell. Inhibits also host cytokine production and thus modulates dendritic cell-mediated immunity (By similarity).
     
 0.833
essG
Conserved hypothetical protein; Component of the type VII secretion system (Ess). Acts also as part of toxin-antitoxin system. Counteracts the toxic effect of EssD via direct interaction.
  
  
 0.757
isdC
Conserved hypothetical protein; Involved in heme (porphyrin) scavenging. Binds hemoglobin and almost exclusively free-base protoporphyrin IX. Probably has a role as the central conduit of the isd heme uptake system, i.e. mediates the transfer of the iron-containing nutrient from IsdABH to the membrane translocation system IsdDEF. Hemin-free IsdC (apo-IsdC) acquires hemin from hemin-containing IsdA (holo-IsdA) probably through the activated holo-IsdA-apo-IsdC complex and due to the higher affinity of apo-IsdC for the cofactor. The reaction is reversible (By similarity).
