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

hupADNA-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. (90 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
hfq
Host factor I for bacteriophage Q beta replication; RNA chaperone that binds small regulatory RNA (sRNAs) and mRNAs to facilitate mRNA translational regulation in response to envelope stress, environmental stress and changes in metabolite concentrations. Also binds with high specificity to tRNAs (By similarity). Plays a central regulatory role in the microbial response to space flight conditions. Is essential for virulence and is required for efficient invasion of non-phagocytic cells.
   
  
 0.946
pal
Tol protein required for outer membrane integrity; Part of the Tol-Pal system, which plays a role in outer membrane invagination during cell division and is important for maintaining outer membrane integrity.
   
 
 0.908
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.
  
 
0.849
yjaH
Putative inner membrane protein; Similar to E. coli orf, hypothetical protein (AAC76975.1); Blastp hit to AAC76975.1 (231 aa), 76% identity in aa 1 - 231.
  
    0.808
dksA
dnaK suppressor protein; Transcription factor that acts by binding directly to the RNA polymerase (RNAP). Required for negative regulation of rRNA expression and positive regulation of several amino acid biosynthesis promoters. Also required for regulation of fis expression.
   
  
 0.786
hns
DNA-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 [...]
   
   0.779
rplL
50S ribosomal subunit protein L7/L12; Forms part of the ribosomal stalk which helps the ribosome interact with GTP-bound translation factors. Is thus essential for accurate translation.
   
  
 0.771
rpmJ
Similar to E. coli 50S ribosomal subunit protein L36 (AAC76324.1); Blastp hit to AAC76324.1 (38 aa), 100% identity in aa 1 - 38; Belongs to the bacterial ribosomal protein bL36 family.
  
  
 0.762
cspE
RNA chaperone, negative regulator of cspA transcription; Similar to E. coli cold shock protein (AAC73724.1); Blastp hit to AAC73724.1 (69 aa), 98% identity in aa 1 - 69.
  
 
 0.755
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.
