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

eptALipid 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. (547 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
arnT
4-amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinose transferase; Catalyzes the transfer of the L-Ara4N moiety of the glycolipid undecaprenyl phosphate-alpha-L-Ara4N to lipid A. The modified arabinose is attached to lipid A and is required for resistance to polymyxin and cationic antimicrobial peptides.
  
 
 0.996
basS
Sensory histidine kinase in two-component regulatory system with BasR; Member of the two-component regulatory system BasS/BasR Autophosphorylates and activates BasR by phosphorylation.
  
 0.996
basR
Response regulator in two-component regulatory system with BasS; Member of the two-component regulatory system BasS/BasR. BasR induces the transcription of the ugd, ais, arnBCADTEF and eptA-basRS loci, all involved in resistance to polymyxin (By similarity).
 
  
 0.988
lpxT
Lipid A 1-diphosphate synthase; Involved in the modification of the lipid A domain of lipopolysaccharides (LPS). Transfers a phosphate group from undecaprenyl pyrophosphate (C55-PP) to lipid A to form lipid A 1- diphosphate. Contributes to the recycling of undecaprenyl phosphate (C55-P). In vitro, has low undecaprenyl-diphosphate phosphatase activity ; Belongs to the LpxT phosphotransferase family.
     
 0.987
pagP
Phospholipid:lipid A palmitoyltransferase; Transfers a palmitate residue from the sn-1 position of a phospholipid to the N-linked hydroxymyristate on the proximal unit of lipid A or its precursors. Phosphatidylglycerol (PtdGro), phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn), phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) and phosphatidic acid (Ptd-OH) are all effective acyl donors.
     
 0.980
lpxM
Myristoyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP)-dependent acyltransferase; Catalyzes the transfer of myristate from myristoyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) to Kdo(2)-(lauroyl)-lipid IV(A) to form Kdo(2)- lipid A. Can probably also catalyze the transfer of myristate to Kdo(2)-(palmitoleoyl)-lipid IV(A) to form the cold-adapted Kdo(2)-lipid A. In vitro, can acylate Kdo(2)-lipid IV(A), but acylation of (KDO)2- (lauroyl)-lipid IV(A) is about 100 times faster. In vitro, can use lauroyl-ACP but displays a slight kinetic preference for myristoyl-ACP.
     
 0.962
eptB
KDO phosphoethanolamine transferase, Ca(2+)-inducible; Catalyzes the addition of a phosphoethanolamine (pEtN) moiety to the outer 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid (Kdo) residue of a Kdo(2)-lipid A. Phosphatidylethanolamines with one unsaturated acyl group functions as pEtN donors and the reaction releases diacylglycerol; Belongs to the phosphoethanolamine transferase family. EptB subfamily.
  
 
0.952
ais
Putative LPS core heptose(II)-phosphate phosphatase; Catalyzes the dephosphorylation of heptose(II) of the outer membrane lipopolysaccharide core; Belongs to the phosphoglycerate mutase family. Ais subfamily.
   
  
 0.935
arnB
Uridine 5'-(beta-1-threo-pentapyranosyl-4-ulose diphosphate) aminotransferase, PLP-dependent; Catalyzes the conversion of UDP-4-keto-arabinose (UDP-Ara4O) to UDP-4-amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinose (UDP-L-Ara4N). The modified arabinose is attached to lipid A and is required for resistance to polymyxin and cationic antimicrobial peptides.
   
  
 0.912
arnC
Undecaprenyl phosphate-L-Ara4FN transferase; Catalyzes the transfer of 4-deoxy-4-formamido-L-arabinose from UDP to undecaprenyl phosphate. The modified arabinose is attached to lipid A and is required for resistance to polymyxin and cationic antimicrobial peptides; Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 2 family.
