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

btuBOuter membrane receptor for transport of vitamin B12, E colicins, and bacteriophage BF23; Involved in the active translocation of vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) across the outer membrane to the periplasmic space. It derives its energy for transport by interacting with the trans- periplasmic membrane protein TonB; Belongs to the TonB-dependent receptor family. BtuB (TC 1.B.14.3.1) subfamily. (614 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
btuF
Putative cobalamin periplasmic binding protein; Part of the ABC transporter complex BtuCDF involved in vitamin B12 import. Binds vitamin B12 and delivers it to the periplasmic surface of BtuC (By similarity).
 
  
 0.956
murI
Glutamate racemase; Provides the (R)-glutamate required for cell wall biosynthesis.
 
  
 0.937
btuC
Vitamin B12 transport protein; Part of the ABC transporter complex BtuCDF involved in vitamin B12 import. Involved in the translocation of the substrate across the membrane.
 
   
 0.928
ompC
Outer membrane protein 1b (ib;c); Forms pores that allow passive diffusion of small molecules across the outer membrane.
    
 0.921
ompF
Outer membrane protein 1a (ia;b;f), porin; Forms pores that allow passive diffusion of small molecules across the outer membrane. It is also a receptor for the bacteriophage T2 (By similarity).
   
 0.914
btuD
Vitamin B12 transport protein; Part of the ABC transporter complex BtuCDF involved in vitamin B12 import. Responsible for energy coupling to the transport system.
  
   
 0.907
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).
 
  
 0.886
lamB
Phage lambda receptor protein; Involved in the transport of maltose and maltodextrins. Does not act as a receptor for phages; Belongs to the porin LamB (TC 1.B.3) family.
     
 0.876
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 [...]
 
 
 
 0.870
ompA
Putative membrane component hydrogenase; With TolR probably plays a role in maintaining the position of the peptidoglycan cell wall in the periplasm. Acts as a porin with low permeability that allows slow penetration of small solutes; an internal gate slows down solute passage.
