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

mpaAMurein peptide amidase A; Involved in muropeptide degradation. Catalyzes the hydrolysis of the gamma-D-glutamyl-diaminopimelic acid (gamma-D-Glu-Dap) amide bond in the murein tripeptide L-alanyl-gamma-D-glutamyl-meso- diaminopimelic acid, leading to the formation of L-Ala-gamma-D-Glu and Dap. Has weak activity with L-Ala- gamma-D-Glu-L-Lys, MurNAc-tripeptide and gamma-D-Glu-meso-Dap. Cannot hydrolyze murein tetrapeptide ; Belongs to the peptidase M14 family. (242 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ycjG
L-Ala-D/L-Glu epimerase; Catalyzes the epimerization of L-Ala-D-Glu to L-Ala-L-Glu and has a role in the recycling of the murein peptide, of which L-Ala-D-Glu is a component. Is also able to catalyze the reverse reaction and the epimerization of all the L-Ala-X dipeptides, except L-Ala-L-Arg, L-Ala- L-Lys and L-Ala-L-Pro. Is also active with L-Gly-L-Glu, L-Phe-L-Glu, and L-Ser-L-Glu, but not with L-Glu-L-Glu, L-Lys-L-Glu, L-Pro-L-Glu, L- Lys-L-Ala, or D-Ala-D-Ala; Belongs to the mandelate racemase/muconate lactonizing enzyme family.

ldcA
Murein tetrapeptide carboxypeptidase; Releases the terminal D-alanine residue from the cytoplasmic tetrapeptide recycling product L-Ala-gamma-D-Glu-meso-Dap-D-Ala. To a lesser extent, can also cleave D-Ala from murein derivatives containing the tetrapeptide, i.e. MurNAc-tetrapeptide, UDP-MurNAc-tetrapeptide, GlcNAc-MurNAc-tetrapeptide, and GlcNAc-anhMurNAc-tetrapeptide. Does not act on murein sacculi or cross-linked muropeptides. The tripeptides produced by the LcdA reaction can then be reused as peptidoglycan building blocks; LcdA is thereby involved in murein recycling. Is also essen [...]

mppA
Murein tripeptide (L-ala-gamma-D-glutamyl-meso-DAP) transporter subunit; Essential for the uptake of the murein peptide L-alanyl- gamma-D-glutamyl-meso-diaminopimelate. Also transports some alpha- linked peptides such as Pro-Phe-Lys with low affinity. The transport is effected by the oligopeptide permease system; Belongs to the bacterial solute-binding protein 5 family.
  
  
 0.796
pepD
Cytosol non-specific dipeptidase; Dipeptidase with broad substrate specificity. Requires dipeptide substrates with an unblocked N-terminus and the amino group in the alpha or beta position. Non-protein amino acids and proline are not accepted in the C-terminal position, whereas some dipeptide amides and formyl amino acids are hydrolyzed. Also shows cysteinylglycinase activity, which is sufficient for E.coli to utilize cysteinylglycine as a cysteine source.

ycjY
Uncharacterized protein YcjY; Pseudogene fragment, MhpC family.
  
  
 0.784
pgrR
Murein peptide degradation regulator; Regulates the expression of genes involved in peptidoglycan (PG) degradation. Could play a role in switch control between recycling and degradation of PG peptides. Negatively regulates the expression of the ycjY-ymjD-ymjC-mpaA operon by binding to the PgrR-box. In addition, other genes are predicted to be under the control of PgrR, including genes related to membrane formation and function.

wecH
O-acetyltransferase for enterobacterial common antigen (ECA); Responsible for the incorporation of O-acetyl groups into the enterobacterial common antigen (ECA) trisaccharide repeat units. Catalyzes the acetylation of both cyclic ECA (ECA(CYC)) and phosphoglyceride-linked ECA (ECA(PG)); Belongs to the acyltransferase 3 family.
  
     0.676
sxy
CRP-S-dependent promoter expression factor; Induces low levels of natural DNA uptake by inducing transcription of the competence genes (the CRP-S regulon) required for DNA transformation. Induction of the CRP-S regulon also requires Sxy- activated promoter (CRP-S), cAMP receptor protein (CRP) and cAMP. Induces CRP-S site-containing genes which are involved in genome maintenance and transcription or encoding transposases and toxin-antitoxin pairs.

mpl
UDP-N-acetylmuramate:L-alanyl-gamma-D-glutamyl- meso-diaminopimelate ligase; Reutilizes the intact tripeptide L-alanyl-gamma-D-glutamyl- meso-diaminopimelate by linking it to UDP-N-acetylmuramate. The enzyme can also use the tetrapeptide L-alanyl-gamma-D-glutamyl-meso-2,6- diaminoheptanedioyl-D-alanine or the pentapeptide L-alanyl-gamma-D- glutamyl-meso-2,6-diaminoheptandioyl-D-alanyl-D-alanine in vivo and in vitro; Belongs to the MurCDEF family. Mpl subfamily.
