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

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.
   
 
 0.991
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.

ABD30063.1
Conserved hypothetical protein.
  
  
 0.738
femB
Methicillin resistance factor, putative; Catalyzes the formation of the pentaglycine interpeptide bridge, which is characteristic of the S.aureus peptidoglycan. Adds glycines 4 and 5 of the pentaglycine bridge, using glycyl-tRNA(Gly) as donor. Involved in resistance to methicillin.
  
   
 0.737
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.
    
 
 0.726
femA
Methicillin resistance factor, FemA, putative; Catalyzes the formation of the pentaglycine interpeptide bridge, which is characteristic of the S.aureus peptidoglycan. Adds glycines 2 and 3 of the pentaglycine bridge, using glycyl-tRNA(Gly) as donor. Involved in resistance to methicillin.
  
  
 0.724
msrA1
Peptide methionine sulfoxide reductase; Has an important function as a repair enzyme for proteins that have been inactivated by oxidation. Catalyzes the reversible oxidation-reduction of methionine sulfoxide in proteins to methionine (By similarity).
