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.

caiTPutative BCCT family betaine/carnitine/choline transport protein; Catalyzes the exchange of L-carnitine for gamma-butyrobetaine and related betaines. (505 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
caiA
Putative acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, carnitine metabolism; Catalyzes the reduction of crotonobetainyl-CoA to gamma- butyrobetainyl-CoA; Belongs to the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family.
 
  
 0.989
caiB
L-carnitine dehydratase; Catalyzes the reversible transfer of the CoA moiety from gamma-butyrobetainyl-CoA to L-carnitine to generate L-carnitinyl-CoA and gamma-butyrobetaine. Is also able to catalyze the reversible transfer of the CoA moiety from gamma-butyrobetainyl-CoA or L- carnitinyl-CoA to crotonobetaine to generate crotonobetainyl-CoA (By similarity); Belongs to the CoA-transferase III family. CaiB subfamily.
 
  
 0.953
caiD
Carnitine racemase; Catalyzes the reversible dehydration of L-carnitinyl-CoA to crotonobetainyl-CoA.
  
  
 0.932
caiE
Stimulates carnitine racemase activity of CaiD and CaiB activity; Overproduction of CaiE stimulates the activity of CaiB and CaiD; Belongs to the transferase hexapeptide repeat family.
     
 0.920
caiC
crotonobetaine/carnitine-CoA ligase; Catalyzes the transfer of CoA to carnitine, generating the initial carnitinyl-CoA needed for the CaiB reaction cycle. Also has activity toward crotonobetaine and gamma-butyrobetaine.
 
  
 0.888
fixC
Related to carnitine metabolism protein; Could be part of an electron transfer system required for anaerobic carnitine reduction; Belongs to the ETF-QO/FixC family.
 
  
 0.852
fixB
Putative electron transfer flavoprotein, carnitine metabolism; Required for anaerobic carnitine reduction. May bring reductant to CaiA.
 
  
 0.734
fixA
Putative flavoprotein reductase, carnitine metabolism; Required for anaerobic carnitine reduction. May bring reductant to CaiA.
 
  
 0.733
caiF
Similar to E. coli transcriptional regulator of cai operon (AAC73145.1); Blastp hit to AAC73145.1 (166 aa), 76% identity in aa 36 - 166.
      
 0.675
STM1128
Similar to E. coli putative cotransporter (AAC76702.1); Blastp hit to AAC76702.1 (571 aa), 22% identity in aa 7 - 478; Belongs to the sodium:solute symporter (SSF) (TC 2.A.21) family.
