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

lptALipopolysaccharide export ABC transporter periplasmic binding protein; Involved in the assembly of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Required for the translocation of LPS from the inner membrane to the outer membrane. May form a bridge between the inner membrane and the outer membrane, via interactions with LptC and LptD, thereby facilitating LPS transfer across the periplasm. (185 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
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.
 
 0.999
lptC
Periplasmic membrane-anchored LPS-binding protein; Involved in the assembly of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Required for the translocation of LPS from the inner membrane to the outer membrane. Facilitates the transfer of LPS from the inner membrane to the periplasmic protein LptA. Could be a docking site for LptA. Belongs to the LptC family.
 
 0.999
lptB
Lipopolysaccharide export ABC transporter ATPase; Part of the ABC transporter complex LptBFG involved in the translocation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from the inner membrane to the outer membrane. Probably responsible for energy coupling to the transport system.
  
 
 0.999
lptG
Lipopolysaccharide export ABC permease; Part of the ABC transporter complex LptBFG involved in the translocation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from the inner membrane to the outer membrane.
 
 
 0.999
lptE
LPS assembly OM complex LptDE, lipoprotein component; Together with LptD, is involved in the assembly of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) at the surface of the outer membrane. Required for the proper assembly of LptD. Binds LPS and may serve as the LPS recognition site at the outer membrane. Belongs to the LptE lipoprotein family.
  
 
 0.995
lptF
Lipopolysaccharide export ABC permease; Part of the ABC transporter complex LptBFG involved in the translocation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from the inner membrane to the outer membrane.
 
 
 0.994
kdsC
3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate 8-phosphate phosphatase; Catalyzes the hydrolysis of 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate 8- phosphate (KDO 8-P) to 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate (KDO) and inorganic phosphate.
 
  
 0.930
bamA
BamABCDE complex OM biogenesis outer membrane pore-forming assembly factor; 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 BamD, the core component of the assembly machinery. 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 and nearly complete Ba [...]

eptA
Lipid A phosphoethanolamine transferase; Catalyzes the addition of a phosphoethanolamine moiety to the lipid A. The phosphoethanolamine modification is required for resistance to polymyxin; Belongs to the phosphoethanolamine transferase family. EptA subfamily.
  
   
 0.889
eptC
LPS heptose I phosphoethanolamine transferase; Catalyzes the addition of a phosphoethanolamine moiety to the outer membrane lipopolysaccharide core; Belongs to the phosphoethanolamine transferase family. EptC/CptA subfamily.
