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

lexASOS response regulator; Represses a number of genes involved in the response to DNA damage (SOS response), including recA and lexA. Binds to the 16 bp palindromic sequence 5'-CTGTATATATATACAG-3'. In the presence of single- stranded DNA, RecA interacts with LexA causing an autocatalytic cleavage which disrupts the DNA-binding part of LexA, leading to derepression of the SOS regulon and eventually DNA repair. (202 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
recA
DNA strand exchange and recombination protein; Can catalyze the hydrolysis of ATP in the presence of single- stranded DNA, the ATP-dependent uptake of single-stranded DNA by duplex DNA, and the ATP-dependent hybridization of homologous single-stranded DNAs. It interacts with LexA causing its activation and leading to its autocatalytic cleavage.

dinP
DNA polymerase IV; Poorly processive, error-prone DNA polymerase involved in untargeted mutagenesis. Copies undamaged DNA at stalled replication forks, which arise in vivo from mismatched or misaligned primer ends. These misaligned primers can be extended by PolIV. Exhibits no 3'-5' exonuclease (proofreading) activity. May be involved in translesional synthesis, in conjunction with the beta clamp from PolIII.
 
 
 0.972
umuC
Error-prone repair protein; Involved in UV protection and mutation. Essential for induced (or SOS) mutagenesis. May modify the DNA replication machinery to allow bypass synthesis across a damaged template.
 
 
 0.953
recN
Protein used in recombination and DNA repair; May be involved in recombinational repair of damaged DNA.
   
  
 0.945
dinI
DNA damage-inducible protein I; Inhibits UmuD processing; similar to E. coli damage-inducible protein I (AAC74145.1); Blastp hit to AAC74145.1 (81 aa), 85% identity in aa 1 - 81.
   
  
 0.938
uvrA
DNA excision repair enzyme; The UvrABC repair system catalyzes the recognition and processing of DNA lesions. UvrA is an ATPase and a DNA-binding protein. A damage recognition complex composed of 2 UvrA and 2 UvrB subunits scans DNA for abnormalities. When the presence of a lesion has been verified by UvrB, the UvrA molecules dissociate; Belongs to the ABC transporter superfamily. UvrA family.
 
  
 0.926
yhdJ
Similar to E. coli putative methyltransferase (AAC76294.1); Blastp hit to AAC76294.1 (296 aa), 80% identity in aa 3 - 285; Belongs to the N(4)/N(6)-methyltransferase family.
    
 0.914
dgkA
Diacylglycerol kinase; Recycling of diacylglycerol produced during the turnover of membrane phospholipid.
 
  
 0.895
sulA
Suppressor of lon; Component of the SOS system and an inhibitor of cell division. Accumulation of SulA causes rapid cessation of cell division and the appearance of long, non-septate filaments. In the presence of GTP, binds a polymerization-competent form of FtsZ in a 1:1 ratio, thus inhibiting FtsZ polymerization and therefore preventing it from participating in the assembly of the Z ring. This mechanism prevents the premature segregation of damaged DNA to daughter cells during cell division.
  
  
 0.860
polA
DNA polymerase I; In addition to polymerase activity, this DNA polymerase exhibits 3'-5' and 5'-3' exonuclease activity. It is able to utilize nicked circular duplex DNA as a template and can unwind the parental DNA strand from its template.
