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
Your Input:
algUSigma factor AlgU; Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. This sigma factor regulates genes such as algD, involved in alginate biosynthesis. (193 aa)
rpoDSigma factor RpoD; Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. This sigma factor is the primary sigma factor during exponential growth. (617 aa)
algRAlginate biosynthesis regulatory protein AlgR; Positive regulator of the algD gene, which codes for a GDP- mannose dehydrogenase, a key step enzyme in the alginate biosynthesis pathway. (248 aa)
algDGDP-mannose 6-dehydrogenase AlgD; Catalyzes the oxidation of guanosine diphospho-D-mannose (GDP-D-mannose) to GDP-D-mannuronic acid, a precursor for alginate polymerization. The alginate layer causes a mucoid phenotype and provides a protective barrier against host immune defenses and antibiotics. (436 aa)
rhlARhamnosyltransferase chain A; Required for rhamnolipid surfactant production. Supplies the acyl moieties for rhamnolipid biosynthesis by competing with the enzymes of the type II fatty acid synthase (FASII) cycle for the beta-hydroxyacyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) pathway intermediates. Catalyzes the formation of one molecule of beta-hydroxydecanoyl-beta-hydroxydecanoate from two molecules of beta- hydroxydecanoyl-ACP. Is the only enzyme required to generate the lipid component of rhamnolipid. In vitro results establish that RhlA is highly selective for 10-carbon acyl-ACP intermediates [...] (295 aa)
mucAAnti-sigma factor MucA; Negative regulator of the sigma factor AlgU. Plays a role in the differentiation of P.aeruginosa into the alginate-producing form. Inactivation of mucA causes a switch from the non-mucoid to mucoid state resulting in constitutive expression of alginate biosynthetic genes. (194 aa)
