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

bfrBacterioferrin; Iron-storage protein, whose ferroxidase center binds Fe(2+) ions, oxidizes them by dioxygen to Fe(3+), and participates in the subsequent Fe(3+) oxide mineral core formation within the central cavity of the protein complex. (158 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
bfd
Regulatory or redox component complexing with Bfr; Seems to associate with BFR; could be a general redox and/or regulatory component participating in the iron storage mobilization functions of BFR. Could participate in the release or the delivery of iron from/to bacterioferritin (or other iron complexes) (By similarity).
 
 
 0.982
hemH
Ferrochelatase; Catalyzes the ferrous insertion into protoporphyrin IX.
     
 0.938
ftnB
Ferritin-like protein; Iron-storage protein.
      
 0.742
ribH
Riboflavin synthase, beta chain; Catalyzes the formation of 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine by condensation of 5-amino-6-(D-ribitylamino)uracil with 3,4-dihydroxy-2- butanone 4-phosphate. This is the penultimate step in the biosynthesis of riboflavin (By similarity); Belongs to the DMRL synthase family.
   
  
 0.667
dps
Stress response DNA-binding protein; During stationary phase, binds the chromosome non- specifically, forming a highly ordered and stable dps-DNA co-crystal within which chromosomal DNA is condensed and protected from diverse damages. It protects DNA from oxidative damage by sequestering intracellular Fe(2+) ion and storing it in the form of Fe(3+) oxyhydroxide mineral, which can be released after reduction. One hydrogen peroxide oxidizes two Fe(2+) ions, which prevents hydroxyl radical production by the Fenton reaction.
   
  
 0.581
sodB
Iron superoxide dismutase; Destroys superoxide anion radicals which are normally produced within the cells and which are toxic to biological systems; Belongs to the iron/manganese superoxide dismutase family.
     
 0.560
feoB
Ferrous iron transport protein B; Probable transporter for a GTP-driven Fe(2+) uptake system. Belongs to the TRAFAC class TrmE-Era-EngA-EngB-Septin-like GTPase superfamily. FeoB GTPase (TC 9.A.8) family.
  
  
 0.529
tonB
TonB; Interacts with outer membrane receptor proteins that carry out high-affinity binding and energy dependent uptake into the periplasmic space of specific substrates such as cobalamin, and various iron compounds (such as iron dicitrate, enterochelin, aerobactin, etc.). In the absence of TonB these receptors bind their substrates but do not carry out active transport. TonB also interacts with some colicins and is involved in the energy-dependent, irreversible steps of bacteriophages phi 80 and T1 infection. It could act to transduce energy from the cytoplasmic membrane to specific en [...]
   
  
 0.519
katG
Catalase; Bifunctional enzyme with both catalase and broad-spectrum peroxidase activity; Belongs to the peroxidase family. Peroxidase/catalase subfamily.
     
 0.501
mopA
Chaperone Hsp60 with peptide-dependent ATPase activity; Prevents misfolding and promotes the refolding and proper assembly of unfolded polypeptides generated under stress conditions.
