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

bamELipoprotein component of BamABCDE OM biogenesis complex; Part of the outer membrane protein assembly complex (Bam), which is involved in assembly and insertion of beta-barrel proteins into the outer membrane. Nonessential member of the complex that stabilizes the interaction between the essential proteins BamA and BamD. May modulate the conformation of BamA, likely through interactions with BamD. Efficient substrate folding and insertion into the outer membrane requires all 5 subunits. A lateral gate may open between the first and last strands of the BamA beta-barrel that allows substr [...] (113 aa)

bamB
BamABCDE complex OM biogenesis lipoprotein; Part of the outer membrane protein assembly complex (Bam), which is involved in assembly and insertion of beta-barrel proteins into the outer membrane. Nonessential member of the complex, which may orient the flexible periplasmic domain of BamA for interaction with other Bam components, chaperones and nascent outer membrane proteins. Efficient substrate folding and insertion into the outer membrane requires all 5 subunits. A lateral gate may open between the first and last strands of the BamA beta-barrel that allows substrate to insert into t [...]

bamD
BamABCDE complex OM biogenesis lipoprotein; Part of the outer membrane protein assembly complex (Bam), which is involved in assembly and insertion of beta-barrel proteins into the outer membrane. Constitutes, with BamA, the core component of the assembly machinery. Probably involved in transient protein interactions. Efficient substrate folding and insertion into the outer membrane requires all 5 subunits. A lateral gate may open between the first and last strands of the BamA beta-barrel that allows substrate to insert into the outer membrane; comparison of the structures of complete a [...]

surA
Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase); Chaperone involved in the correct folding and assembly of outer membrane proteins, such as OmpA, OmpF and LamB. Recognizes specific patterns of aromatic residues and the orientation of their side chains, which are found more frequently in integral outer membrane proteins. May act in both early periplasmic and late outer membrane- associated steps of protein maturation. Essential for the survival of E.coli in stationary phase. Required for pilus biogenesis.

lptD
LPS assembly OM complex LptDE, beta-barrel component; Together with LptE, is involved in the assembly of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) at the surface of the outer membrane. Contributes to n-hexane resistance.
  
  
 0.957
skp
Periplasmic chaperone; Molecular chaperone that interacts specifically with outer membrane proteins, thus maintaining the solubility of early folding intermediates during passage through the periplasm. Required for the efficient release of OmpA from the inner membrane, the maintenance of its solubility in the periplasm, and, in association with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), for the efficient folding and insertion of OmpA into the outer membrane. Belongs to the Skp family.

lolA
Lipoprotein chaperone; Participates in the translocation of lipoproteins from the inner membrane to the outer membrane. Only forms a complex with a lipoprotein if the residue after the N-terminal Cys is not an aspartate (The Asp acts as a targeting signal to indicate that the lipoprotein should stay in the inner membrane); the inner membrane retention signal functions at the release step.
  
 
 
 0.872
pldA
Outer membrane phospholipase A; Has broad substrate specificity including hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine with phospholipase A2 (EC 3.1.1.4) and phospholipase A1 (EC 3.1.1.32) activities. Strong expression leads to outer membrane breakdown and cell death; is dormant in normal growing cells. Required for efficient secretion of bacteriocins.
  
 
 0.864
lolB
Lipoprotein localization factor; Plays a critical role in the incorporation of lipoproteins in the outer membrane after they are released by the LolA protein. Essential for E.coli viability; Belongs to the LolB family.
