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

metJTranscriptional repressor of all met genes but metF; This regulatory protein, when combined with SAM (S- adenosylmethionine) represses the expression of the methionine regulon and of enzymes involved in SAM synthesis. It is also autoregulated (By similarity); Belongs to the MetJ family. (105 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
metB
Similar to E. coli cystathionine gamma-synthase (AAC76921.1); Blastp hit to AAC76921.1 (386 aa), 96% identity in aa 1 - 386.
  
  
 0.972
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.
 
  
 0.964
metF
5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase. (SW:METF_SALTY); Belongs to the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase family.
  
  
 0.954
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.
   
  
 0.951
metC
Cystathionine beta-lyase; Catalyzes the cleavage of cystathionine to homocysteine, pyruvate and ammonia during methionine biosynthesis.
  
  
 0.913
metE
5-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.
      
 0.899
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.
   
  
 0.893
argR
Repressor of arg regulon; Negatively controls the expression of the four operons of arginine biosynthesis in addition to the carAB operon. Predominantly interacts with A/T residues in ARG boxes; Belongs to the ArgR family.
  
  
 0.791
fadR
Negative regulator of fad regulon; Multifunctional regulator of fatty acid metabolism. Represses transcription of at least eight genes required for fatty acid transport and beta-oxidation including fadA, fadB, fadD, fadL and fadE. Activates transcription of at least three genes required for unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis: fabA, fabB and iclR, the gene encoding the transcriptional regulator of the aceBAK operon encoding the glyoxylate shunt enzymes. Binding of FadR is specifically inhibited by long chain fatty acyl-CoA compounds (By similarity).
  
  
 0.768
seqA
Negative modulator of initiation of replication; Negative regulator of replication initiation, which contributes to regulation of DNA replication and ensures that replication initiation occurs exactly once per chromosome per cell cycle. Binds to pairs of hemimethylated GATC sequences in the oriC region, thus preventing assembly of replication proteins and re- initiation at newly replicated origins. Repression is relieved when the region becomes fully methylated.
