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.

ABD31332.1Sigma factor B, putative; Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. (256 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
rsbW
Anti-sigma B factor, putative; Negative regulator of sigma-B activity. Phosphorylates and inactivates its specific antagonist protein, RsbV. Upon phosphorylation of RsbV, RsbW is released and binds to sigma-B, thereby blocking its ability to form an RNA polymerase holoenzyme (E-sigma-B) (By similarity).
 
 
 0.999
rsbV
STAS domain, putative; Positive regulator of sigma-B activity. Non-phosphorylated RsbV binds to RsbW, preventing its association with sigma-B. When phosphorylated, releases RsbW, which is then free to complex with and inactivate sigma-B (By similarity); Belongs to the anti-sigma-factor antagonist family.
 
 
 0.999
rpoA
DNA-directed RNA polymerase alpha chain, putative; DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates.
  
 
 
 0.964
rpoZ
Conserved hypothetical protein; Promotes RNA polymerase assembly. Latches the N- and C- terminal regions of the beta' subunit thereby facilitating its interaction with the beta and alpha subunits.
    
 
 0.959
ABD31335.1
sigmaB regulation protein RsbU, putative.
 
 
 0.889
ABD30156.1
Conserved hypothetical protein; Belongs to the UPF0356 family.
  
 
   0.826
rpoC
DNA directed RNA polymerase beta-prime chain, putative; DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates.
    
 
 0.817
rpoB
RNA polymerase beta chain, putative; DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates.
    
 
 0.816
corA
Conserved hypothetical protein; Mediates influx of magnesium ions. Belongs to the CorA metal ion transporter (MIT) (TC 1.A.35) family.
   
    0.731
ABD31336.1
sigmaB regulation protein RsbU, putative.
