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

wcaNPutative regulatory subunit for GalU; Protein involved in nucleotide-sugar biosynthetic process. (297 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ugd
UDP-glucose 6-dehydrogenase; Protein involved in cell surface antigen activity, host-interacting, colanic acid biosynthetic process and response to desiccation.
  
 0.994
galE
UDP-galactose-4-epimerase; Involved in the metabolism of galactose. Catalyzes the conversion of UDP-galactose (UDP-Gal) to UDP-glucose (UDP-Glc) through a mechanism involving the transient reduction of NAD. It is only active on UDP-galactose and UDP-glucose.
  
 0.984
pgm
Phosphoglucomutase; This enzyme participates in both the breakdown and synthesis of glucose; Belongs to the phosphohexose mutase family.
  
 
 0.959
rfbA
Glucose-1-phosphate thymidylyltransferase; Catalyzes the formation of dTDP-glucose, from dTTP and glucose 1-phosphate, as well as its pyrophosphorolysis. Belongs to the glucose-1-phosphate thymidylyltransferase family.
 
0.959
galU
Glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase; May play a role in stationary phase survival; Belongs to the UDPGP type 2 family.
  
0.953
bcsA
Cellulose synthase, catalytic subunit; Catalytic subunit of cellulose synthase. It polymerizes uridine 5'-diphosphate glucose to cellulose, which is produced as an extracellular component for mechanical and chemical protection at the onset of the stationary phase, when the cells exhibit multicellular behavior (rdar morphotype). Coexpression of cellulose and thin aggregative fimbriae (curli fimbrae or fibers) leads to a hydrophobic network with tightly packed cells embedded in a highly inert matrix that confers cohesion, elasticity and tissue-like properties to colonies ; Belongs to the [...]
  
 
 0.935
wzxB
Putative polisoprenol-linked O-antigen transporter; May be involved in the translocation process of the nascent O-polysaccharide molecules and/or its ligation to lipid A core units.
  
  
 0.931
gnd
6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, decarboxylating; Catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of 6-phosphogluconate to ribulose 5-phosphate and CO(2), with concomitant reduction of NADP to NADPH.
  
  
 0.930
rffH
Glucose-1-phosphate thymidylyltransferase; Catalyzes the formation of dTDP-glucose, from dTTP and glucose 1-phosphate, as well as its pyrophosphorolysis. Belongs to the glucose-1-phosphate thymidylyltransferase family.
 
0.927
wzxC
Putative colanic acid exporter; Probable export protein; Belongs to the polysaccharide synthase family.
     
 0.926
