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.

mecAConserved hypothetical protein; Enables the recognition and targeting of unfolded and aggregated proteins to the ClpC protease or to other proteins involved in proteolysis. (239 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
clpC
Endopeptidase, putative; Required for growth at high temperatures, probably by acting as a chaperone during heat shock and targeting heat-denatured proteins for degradation by ClpP. Required for biofilm formation. May act as a chaperone regulating CtsR activity.
    
 
 0.996
clpP
ATP-dependent Clp protease, proteolytic subunit ClpP; Cleaves peptides in various proteins in a process that requires ATP hydrolysis. Has a chymotrypsin-like activity. Plays a major role in the degradation of misfolded proteins. Belongs to the peptidase S14 family.
   
 
 0.890
clpB
ATP-dependent Clp protease, ATP-binding subunit ClpB; Part of a stress-induced multi-chaperone system, it is involved in the recovery of the cell from heat-induced damage, in cooperation with DnaK, DnaJ and GrpE; Belongs to the ClpA/ClpB family.
    
 
 0.867
ABD31492.1
Conserved hypothetical protein.
    
 
 0.844
clpL
ATP-dependent Clp protease, ATP-binding subunit ClpC, putative; Required for the development of induced thermotolerance and intracellular multiplication within bovine mammary epithelial cells.
    
 
 0.813
ABD30061.1
Conserved hypothetical protein.
 
     0.722
ABD31026.1
Conserved hypothetical protein.
  
     0.712
rpoE
DNA-directed RNA polymerase, delta subunit, putative; Participates in both the initiation and recycling phases of transcription. In the presence of the delta subunit, RNAP displays an increased specificity of transcription, a decreased affinity for nucleic acids, and an increased efficiency of RNA synthesis because of enhanced recycling; Belongs to the RpoE family.
  
     0.693
ABD30552.1
Penicillin-binding protein 2.
  
   
 0.688
ABD30063.1
Conserved hypothetical protein.
  
  
 0.684
