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

mazEConserved hypothetical protein; Antitoxin component of a type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) system. Labile antitoxin that binds to cognate MazF toxin and counteracts its endoribonuclease activity; Belongs to the MazE/EndoAI family. (56 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
mazF
Conserved hypothetical protein; Toxic component of a type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) system. Ribosome-independent, sequence-specific endoribonuclease that cleaves mRNA, thus inhibiting protein synthesis and inducing bacterial stasis. It cuts between the first and nucleotides of 5'-UACAU-3' in single- stranded RNA. Neutralized by coexpression with cognate antitoxin MazE. Belongs to the PemK/MazF family.

ABD31332.1
Sigma factor B, putative; Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released.
     
 0.835
alr1
Alanine racemase; Catalyzes the interconversion of L-alanine and D-alanine. May also act on other amino acids; Belongs to the alanine racemase family.
       0.756
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).
     
 0.705
acpS
Holo-(acyl-carrier-protein) synthase; Transfers the 4'-phosphopantetheine moiety from coenzyme A to a Ser of acyl-carrier-protein; Belongs to the P-Pant transferase superfamily. AcpS family.

ABD31342.1
Conserved hypothetical protein.
       0.701
ABD31343.1
Conserved hypothetical protein.
       0.701
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.
     
 0.657
recD2
Conserved hypothetical protein; DNA-dependent ATPase and ATP-dependent 5'-3' DNA helicase. Has no activity on blunt DNA or DNA with 3'-overhangs, requires at least 10 bases of 5'-ssDNA for helicase activity; Belongs to the RecD family. RecD-like subfamily.
