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

mplUDP-N-acetylmuramate:L-alanyl-gamma-D-glutamyl- meso-diaminopimelate ligase; Reutilizes the intact tripeptide L-alanyl-gamma-D-glutamyl- meso-diaminopimelate by linking it to UDP-N-acetylmuramate. The enzyme can also use the tetrapeptide L-alanyl-gamma-D-glutamyl-meso-2,6- diaminoheptanedioyl-D-alanine or the pentapeptide L-alanyl-gamma-D- glutamyl-meso-2,6-diaminoheptandioyl-D-alanyl-D-alanine in vivo and in vitro; Belongs to the MurCDEF family. Mpl subfamily. (457 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
nagZ
Beta N-acetyl-glucosaminidase; Plays a role in peptidoglycan recycling by cleaving the terminal beta-1,4-linked N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) from peptide- linked peptidoglycan fragments, giving rise to free GlcNAc, anhydro-N- acetylmuramic acid and anhydro-N-acetylmuramic acid-linked peptides. Cleaves GlcNAc linked beta-1,4 to MurNAc tripeptides.

ldcA
Murein tetrapeptide carboxypeptidase; Releases the terminal D-alanine residue from the cytoplasmic tetrapeptide recycling product L-Ala-gamma-D-Glu-meso-Dap-D-Ala. To a lesser extent, can also cleave D-Ala from murein derivatives containing the tetrapeptide, i.e. MurNAc-tetrapeptide, UDP-MurNAc-tetrapeptide, GlcNAc-MurNAc-tetrapeptide, and GlcNAc-anhMurNAc-tetrapeptide. Does not act on murein sacculi or cross-linked muropeptides. The tripeptides produced by the LcdA reaction can then be reused as peptidoglycan building blocks; LcdA is thereby involved in murein recycling. Is also essen [...]

murF
UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-tripeptide:D-alanyl-D- alanine ligase; Involved in cell wall formation. Catalyzes the final step in the synthesis of UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-pentapeptide, the precursor of murein.
 
  
 0.912
ampD
1,6-anhydro-N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanine amidase, Zn-dependent; Involved in cell wall peptidoglycan recycling. Specifically cleaves the amide bond between the lactyl group of N-acetylmuramic acid and the alpha-amino group of the L-alanine in degradation products containing an anhydro N-acetylmuramyl moiety. Is also involved in beta-lactamase induction ; Belongs to the N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase 2 family.
  
   
 0.877
ampG
Muropeptide transporter; Permease involved in cell wall peptidoglycan recycling. Transports, from the periplasm into the cytoplasm, the disaccharide N-acetylglucosaminyl-beta-1,4-anhydro- N-acetylmuramic acid (GlcNAc-anhMurNAc) and GlcNAc-anhMurNAc-peptides. Transport is dependent on the proton motive force. AmpG is also involved in beta-lactamase induction ; Belongs to the major facilitator superfamily.
  
   
 0.857
murG
N-acetylglucosaminyl transferase; Cell wall formation. Catalyzes the transfer of a GlcNAc subunit on undecaprenyl-pyrophosphoryl-MurNAc-pentapeptide (lipid intermediate I) to form undecaprenyl-pyrophosphoryl-MurNAc- (pentapeptide)GlcNAc (lipid intermediate II).
  
 0.854
ddlB
D-alanine:D-alanine ligase; Cell wall formation; Belongs to the D-alanine--D-alanine ligase family.
  
 0.835
murE
UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamate:meso- diaminopimelate ligase; Catalyzes the addition of meso-diaminopimelic acid to the nucleotide precursor UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamate (UMAG) in the biosynthesis of bacterial cell-wall peptidoglycan. Is also able to use many meso-diaminopimelate analogs as substrates, although much less efficiently, but not L-lysine.
  
 0.829
murB
UDP-N-acetylenolpyruvoylglucosamine reductase, FAD-binding; Cell wall formation; Belongs to the MurB family.
 
 0.813
murD
UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine:D-glutamate ligase; Cell wall formation. Catalyzes the addition of glutamate to the nucleotide precursor UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine (UMA).
