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

wcaKPutative galactokinase; Protein involved in colanic acid biosynthetic process. (426 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
wcaL
Putative colanic acid biosynthesis glycosyl transferase; Protein involved in colanic acid biosynthetic process.
 
 0.999
wzxC
Putative colanic acid exporter; Probable export protein; Belongs to the polysaccharide synthase family.
 
 
 0.975
wcaC
Putative glycosyl transferase; Protein involved in colanic acid biosynthetic process.
 
  
 0.970
wcaM
Putative colanic acid biosynthesis protein; Protein involved in colanic acid biosynthetic process.
 
  
 0.969
wcaA
Putative glycosyl transferase; Putative regulator; Protein involved in colanic acid biosynthetic process.
 
  
 0.954
wcaJ
Colanic biosynthesis UDP-glucose lipid carrier transferase; Is the initiating enzyme for colanic acid (CA) synthesis. Catalyzes the transfer of the glucose-1-phosphate moiety from UDP-Glc onto the carrier lipid undecaprenyl phosphate (C55-P), forming a phosphoanhydride bond yielding to glucosyl-pyrophosphoryl-undecaprenol (Glc-PP-C55). Also possesses a weak galactose-1-P transferase activity. Belongs to the bacterial sugar transferase family.
