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.

Score
metE5-methyltetrahydropteroyltriglutamate- homocysteine S-methyltransferase; Catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from 5- methyltetrahydrofolate to homocysteine resulting in methionine formation; Belongs to the vitamin-B12 independent methionine synthase family. (754 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
metH
B12-dependent homocysteine-N5-methyltetrahydrofolate transmethylase; Catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from methyl- cobalamin to homocysteine, yielding enzyme-bound cob(I)alamin and methionine. Subsequently, remethylates the cofactor using methyltetrahydrofolate (By similarity).
  
 
 0.998
metK
Methionine adenosyltransferase 1; Catalyzes the formation of S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) from methionine and ATP. The overall synthetic reaction is composed of two sequential steps, AdoMet formation and the subsequent tripolyphosphate hydrolysis which occurs prior to release of AdoMet from the enzyme.
  
 0.996
metF
5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase. (SW:METF_SALTY); Belongs to the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase family.
 
  
 0.994
metC
Cystathionine beta-lyase; Catalyzes the cleavage of cystathionine to homocysteine, pyruvate and ammonia during methionine biosynthesis.
  
 
 0.992
metB
Similar to E. coli cystathionine gamma-synthase (AAC76921.1); Blastp hit to AAC76921.1 (386 aa), 96% identity in aa 1 - 386.
  
 
 0.992
metR
Regulator for metE and metH; Control of the last step in methionine biosynthesis; MetR is a positive activator of the metA, metE and metH genes. It is also a negative regulator of its own expression; Belongs to the LysR transcriptional regulatory family.
 
  
 0.986
luxS
Quorum sensing protein; Involved in the synthesis of autoinducer 2 (AI-2) which is secreted by bacteria and is used to communicate both the cell density and the metabolic potential of the environment. The regulation of gene expression in response to changes in cell density is called quorum sensing. Catalyzes the transformation of S-ribosylhomocysteine (RHC) to homocysteine (HC) and 4,5-dihydroxy-2,3-pentadione (DPD) (By similarity); Belongs to the LuxS family.
  
 
 0.966
metL
Aspartokinase II; Bifunctional; similar to E. coli aspartokinase II and homoserine dehydrogenase II (AAC76922.1); Blastp hit to AAC76922.1 (810 aa), 94% identity in aa 1 - 810; In the C-terminal section; belongs to the homoserine dehydrogenase family.
  
 
 0.948
metG
Methionine tRNA synthetase; Is required not only for elongation of protein synthesis but also for the initiation of all mRNA translation through initiator tRNA(fMet) aminoacylation.
    
 0.939
thrA
Bifunctional; N-terminaus is aspartokinase I and C terminus is homoserine dehydrogenase I; similar to E. coli aspartokinase I, homoserine dehydrogenase I (AAC73113.1); Blastp hit to AAC73113.1 (820 aa), 94% identity in aa 1 - 820; In the C-terminal section; belongs to the homoserine dehydrogenase family.
