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.

hnsDNA-binding protein HLP-II; Binds tightly to dsDNA. Acts as a global transcriptional regulator through its ability to bind to AT-rich DNA sequences. Binds in the minor groove of AT-rich DNA. Was found to bind 746 genes, about half of which show no change in expression in disruption experiments suggesting these sites are important for nucleoid structure. On a global level genes bound by H-NS are expressed at a lower than average level; H-NS is excluded from binding to highly transcribed genes and does not co-localize with RNA polymerase in DNA-binding studies during exponential growth i [...] (137 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ydgT
Putative cytoplasmic protein; Binds to H-NS and modified the range of genes it silences; H- NS alonge silences core gene while the H-NS-Hha complex (and presumably also H-NS-YdgT) silences genes acquired by horizontal gene transfer. Plays a role silencing virulence factors in the absence of factors that induce pathogenicity (By similarity). The complex formed with H-NS binds to the specific 26-bp cnb site in the origin of replication oriC (By similarity); Belongs to the Hha/YmoA/Cnu family.

lpp
Murein lipoprotein; Plays an important role in virulence. A highly abundant outer membrane lipoprotein that controls the distance between the inner and outer membranes. The only protein known to be covalently linked to the peptidoglycan network (PGN). Also non- covalently binds the PGN. The link between the cell outer membrane and PGN contributes to maintenance of the structural and functional integrity of the cell envelope, and maintains the correct distance between the PGN and the outer membrane (By similarity).
   
    0.878
hha
Hemolysin expression modulating protein (involved in environmental regulation of virulence factors); Interacts with H-NS and in this complex might contact DNA, which could provide an additional surface for DNA binding to the H-NS- Hha complex; may not bind DNA in the absence of H-NS. In vitro improves the ability of H-NS to bind DNA under a precise set of conditions.
   
   0.822
ptsH
Phosphohistidinoprotein-hexose phosphotransferase; General (non sugar-specific) component of the phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent sugar phosphotransferase system (sugar PTS). This major carbohydrate active-transport system catalyzes the phosphorylation of incoming sugar substrates concomitantly with their translocation across the cell membrane. The phosphoryl group from phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) is transferred to the phosphoryl carrier protein HPr by enzyme I. Phospho-HPr then transfers it to the PTS EIIA domain.

himA
Integration host factor (IHF), alpha subunit; This protein is one of the two subunits of integration host factor, a specific DNA-binding protein that functions in genetic recombination as well as in transcriptional and translational control.
   
 
 0.783
slyA
MarR family transcriptional regulator for hemolysin; Transcription regulator that can specifically activate or repress expression of target genes. Required for virulence and survival in the macrophage environment. Probably activates expression of ispA, xseB genes, and of omp operon.
   
  
 0.762
hupA
DNA-binding protein HU-alpha; Histone-like DNA-binding protein which is capable of wrapping DNA to stabilize it, and thus to prevent its denaturation under extreme environmental conditions; Belongs to the bacterial histone-like protein family.
   
 
 0.761
yiiU
Putative cytoplasmic protein; Non-essential, abundant cell division factor that is required for proper Z-ring formation. It is recruited early to the divisome by direct interaction with FtsZ, stimulating Z-ring assembly and thereby promoting cell division earlier in the cell cycle. Its recruitment to the Z-ring requires functional FtsA or ZipA.
  
    0.755
sspH2
Leucine-rich repeat protein; Effector proteins function to alter host cell physiology and promote bacterial survival in host tissues. This protein is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that interferes with host's ubiquitination pathway.
      
 0.750
acpP
Acyl carrier protein; Carrier of the growing fatty acid chain in fatty acid biosynthesis; Belongs to the acyl carrier protein (ACP) family.
