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

ybgFPeriplasmic TolA-binding protein; Mediates coordination of peptidoglycan synthesis and outer membrane constriction during cell division. Promotes physical and functional coordination of the PBP1B-LpoB and Tol machines, and regulates PBP1B activity in response to Tol energy state. (263 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
tolB
Periplasmic protein; Part of the Tol-Pal system, which plays a role in outer membrane invagination during cell division and is important for maintaining outer membrane integrity. TolB occupies a key intermediary position in the Tol-Pal system because it communicates directly with both membrane-embedded components, Pal in the outer membrane and TolA in the inner membrane. Is also involved in the uptake of some colicins A. The Tol-Pal system is also required for polar localization of chemoreceptors clusters.

pal
Peptidoglycan-associated outer membrane lipoprotein; Part of the Tol-Pal system, which plays a role in outer membrane invagination during cell division and is important for maintaining outer membrane integrity. The Tol-Pal system is also required for polar localization of chemoreceptors clusters.
  
 0.999
tolQ
Membrane spanning protein in TolA-TolQ-TolR complex; Part of the Tol-Pal system, which plays a role in outer membrane invagination during cell division and is important for maintaining outer membrane integrity. Required, with TolR, for the proton motive force-dependent activation of TolA and for TolA-Pal interaction. Is also involved in the uptake of group A colicins (colicins A, E1, E2, E3, and K) and in the uptake of filamentous phage DNA. The Tol-Pal system is also required for polar localization of chemoreceptors clusters. Belongs to the ExbB/TolQ family.

mrcB
Fused glycosyl transferase and transpeptidase; Cell wall formation. Synthesis of cross-linked peptidoglycan from the lipid intermediates. The enzyme has a penicillin-insensitive transglycosylase N-terminal domain (formation of linear glycan strands) and a penicillin-sensitive transpeptidase C-terminal domain (cross- linking of the peptide subunits); In the N-terminal section; belongs to the glycosyltransferase 51 family.
    
 0.976
tolR
Membrane spanning protein in TolA-TolQ-TolR complex; Part of the Tol-Pal system, which plays a role in outer membrane invagination during cell division and is important for maintaining outer membrane integrity. Required, with TolQ, for the proton motive force-dependent activation of TolA and for TolA-Pal interaction .The Tol-Pal system is also required for polar localization of chemoreceptors clusters (Probable). There are about 900 TolR molecules per cell. Modeling suggests that non-covalent binding of OmpA (from the outer membrane) and TolR (from the inner membrane) to peptidoglycan [...]

ybgC
acyl-CoA thioester hydrolase; Thioesterase that appears to be involved in phospholipid metabolism. Some specific acyl-ACPs could be physiological substrates. Displays acyl-CoA thioesterase activity on malonyl-CoA in vitro, catalyzing the hydrolysis of the thioester bond.
  
  
 0.962
tolA
Membrane anchored protein in TolA-TolQ-TolR complex; Part of the Tol-Pal system, which plays a role in outer membrane invagination during cell division and is important for maintaining outer membrane integrity. Is also involved in the uptake of group A colicins (colicins A, E1, E2, E3, and K) and in the uptake of filamentous phage DNA. The Tol-Pal system is also required for polar localization of chemoreceptors clusters. Belongs to the TolA family.

lpoB
OM lipoprotein stimulator of MrcB transpeptidase; Regulator of peptidoglycan synthesis that is essential for the function of penicillin-binding protein 1B (PBP1b). Stimulates transpeptidase and transglycosylase activities of PBP1b in vitro. May also contribute to outer membrane constriction during cell division, in complex with PBP1b.
  
  
 0.854
mrcA
Penicillin-binding protein 1a, murein transglycosylase and transpeptidase; Cell wall formation. Synthesis of cross-linked peptidoglycan from the lipid intermediates. The enzyme has a penicillin-insensitive transglycosylase N-terminal domain (formation of linear glycan strands) and a penicillin-sensitive transpeptidase C-terminal domain (cross- linking of the peptide subunits); In the N-terminal section; belongs to the glycosyltransferase 51 family.
 
  
 0.854
ftsW
Putative lipid II flippase; Peptidoglycan polymerase that is essential for cell division (Probable). Functions probably in conjunction with the penicillin- binding protein 3 (ftsI). Required for localization of FtsI.
