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

hrtBPermease, putative domain protein; Part of the ABC transporter complex hrt involved in hemin import. Responsible for the translocation of the substrate across the membrane (By similarity). (351 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
hrtA
Conserved hypothetical protein; Part of the ABC transporter complex hrt involved in hemin import. Responsible for energy coupling to the transport system (By similarity).

hssS
Sensor histidine kinase, putative; Member of the two-component regulatory system HssS/HssR involved in intracellular heme homeostasis and tempering of staphylococcal virulence. HssS functions as a heme sensor histidine kinase which is autophosphorylated at a histidine residue and transfers its phosphate group to an aspartate residue of HssR. HssR/HssS activates the expression of hrtAB, an efflux pump, in response to extracellular heme, hemin, hemoglobin or blood (By similarity).
 
 
 0.944
hssR
DNA-binding response regulator, putative; Member of the two-component regulatory system HssS/HssR involved in intracellular heme homeostasis and tempering of staphylococcal virulence. Phosphorylated HssR binds to a direct repeat sequence within hrtAB promoter and activates the expression of hrtAB, an efflux pump, in response to extracellular heme, hemin, hemoglobin or blood (By similarity).

nadE
NAD+ synthetase; Catalyzes the ATP-dependent amidation of deamido-NAD to form NAD. Uses ammonia as a nitrogen source.
  
     0.475
isdC
Conserved hypothetical protein; Involved in heme (porphyrin) scavenging. Binds hemoglobin and almost exclusively free-base protoporphyrin IX. Probably has a role as the central conduit of the isd heme uptake system, i.e. mediates the transfer of the iron-containing nutrient from IsdABH to the membrane translocation system IsdDEF. Hemin-free IsdC (apo-IsdC) acquires hemin from hemin-containing IsdA (holo-IsdA) probably through the activated holo-IsdA-apo-IsdC complex and due to the higher affinity of apo-IsdC for the cofactor. The reaction is reversible (By similarity).
