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

wzaColanic acid export protein; Probably involved in the export of the extracellular polysaccharide colanic acid from the cell to medium. (379 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
wzc
Colanic acid production tyrosine-protein kinase; Required for the extracellular polysaccharide colanic acid synthesis. The autophosphorylated form is inactive. Probably involved in the export of colanic acid from the cell to medium. Phosphorylates udg.
 
 
 0.999
wzb
Colanic acid production protein-tyrosine-phosphatase; Dephosphorylates Wzc. Required for the extracellular polysaccharide colanic acid synthesis, probably involved in the export of colanic acid from the cell to medium. Involved in protection of cells against contact- dependent growth inhibition (CDI), probably due to the loss of a physical impediment to cell-cell contact; Belongs to the low molecular weight phosphotyrosine protein phosphatase family.
  
 0.997
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.
 
  
 0.990
wcaF
Putative transferase; Protein involved in colanic acid biosynthetic process.
  
  
 0.982
wcaA
Putative glycosyl transferase; Putative regulator; Protein involved in colanic acid biosynthetic process.
  
  
 0.980
wzxC
Putative colanic acid exporter; Probable export protein; Belongs to the polysaccharide synthase family.
 
  
 0.979
wcaI
Putative colanic biosynthesis glycosyl transferase; Protein involved in colanic acid biosynthetic process.
 
  
 0.973
gmd
GDP-D-mannose dehydratase, NAD(P)-binding; Catalyzes the conversion of GDP-D-mannose to GDP-4-dehydro-6- deoxy-D-mannose; Belongs to the NAD(P)-dependent epimerase/dehydratase family. GDP-mannose 4,6-dehydratase subfamily.
  
  
 0.968
wcaC
Putative glycosyl transferase; Protein involved in colanic acid biosynthetic process.
 
  
 0.968
wcaD
Putative colanic acid polymerase.
  
  
 0.963
