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

ABD29440.1Conserved hypothetical protein. (105 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
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).
       0.773
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.
       0.773
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.
       0.762
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.
       0.746
ABD29437.1
Conserved hypothetical protein.
       0.732
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.
       0.640
essB
Conserved hypothetical protein; Component of the type VII secretion system (Ess) (Probable). Required for the secretion of EsxA and EsxB (By similarity).
       0.586
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.
       0.567
ABD29433.1
Conserved hypothetical protein.
       0.567
ABD29434.1
Conserved hypothetical protein.
       0.567
