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

lrpRegulator for lrp regulon and high-affinity branched-chain amino acid transport system; Mediates a global response to leucine. Exogenous leucine affects the expression of a number of different operons; lrp mediates this effect for at least some of these operons. For example it is regulator of the branched-chain amino acid transport genes. (164 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
crp
Catabolite activator protein (CAP); A global transcription regulator. Complexes with cyclic AMP (cAMP) which allosterically activates DNA binding to regulate transcription. It can act as an activator, repressor, coactivator or corepressor. Induces a severe bend in DNA. Acts as a negative regulator of its own synthesis as well as for adenylate cyclase (cyaA), which generates cAMP. Plays a major role in carbon catabolite repression (CCR) (By similarity).

lolA
Periplasmic protein; Participates in the translocation of lipoproteins from the inner membrane to the outer membrane. Only forms a complex with a lipoprotein if the residue after the N-terminal Cys is not an aspartate (The Asp acts as a targeting signal to indicate that the lipoprotein should stay in the inner membrane).
 
    0.852
ftsK
Cell division protein; Essential cell division protein that coordinates cell division and chromosome segregation. The N-terminus is involved in assembly of the cell-division machinery. The C-terminus functions as a DNA motor that moves dsDNA in an ATP-dependent manner towards the dif recombination site, which is located within the replication terminus region. Translocation stops specifically at Xer-dif sites, where FtsK interacts with the Xer recombinase, allowing activation of chromosome unlinking by recombination. FtsK orienting polar sequences (KOPS) guide the direction of DNA trans [...]

hfq
Host factor I for bacteriophage Q beta replication; RNA chaperone that binds small regulatory RNA (sRNAs) and mRNAs to facilitate mRNA translational regulation in response to envelope stress, environmental stress and changes in metabolite concentrations. Also binds with high specificity to tRNAs (By similarity). Plays a central regulatory role in the microbial response to space flight conditions. Is essential for virulence and is required for efficient invasion of non-phagocytic cells.

ycaJ
Similar to E. coli putative polynucleotide enzyme (AAC73978.1); Blastp hit to AAC73978.1 (447 aa), 97% identity in aa 1 - 447.
 
    0.790
rpoS
Sigma S (sigma 38) factor of RNA polymerase; Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. This sigma factor is the master transcriptional regulator of the stationary phase and the general stress response.
   
  
 0.767
fis
Site-specific DNA inversion stimulation factor; Activates ribosomal RNA transcription. Plays a direct role in upstream activation of rRNA promoters; Belongs to the transcriptional regulatory Fis family.
      
 0.733
oxyR
Regulatory protein sensor for oxidative stress; Regulates intracellular hydrogen peroxide (LysR family); similar to E. coli activator, hydrogen peroxide-inducible genes (AAC76943.1); Blastp hit to AAC76943.1 (305 aa), 95% identity in aa 1 - 305; Belongs to the LysR transcriptional regulatory family.
   
  
 0.718
leuO
Putative LysR family transcriptional regulator; Probable activator protein in leuabcd operon. (SW:LEUO_SALTY); Belongs to the LysR transcriptional regulatory family.
   
  
 0.700
pal
Tol protein required for outer membrane integrity; Part of the Tol-Pal system, which plays a role in outer membrane invagination during cell division and is important for maintaining outer membrane integrity.
