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:
yaaHSpore peptidoglycan hydrolase; N-acetylglucosaminidase involved in cortex peptidoglycan degradation during germination. Cleaves only partially degraded spore peptidoglycans. Recognizes muramic acid delta-lactam residues specific to spore peptidoglycans. (427 aa)
gerDLipoprotein with a role in spores' rapid response to nutrient germinants; May be involved in fructose recognition during germination. (185 aa)
cwlJCell wall hydrolase; Probable spore cortex-lytic enzyme involved in the depolymerization of cortex peptidoglycan during germination. (142 aa)
gerRDNA-binding regulator; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type r: regulator. (193 aa)
spoVMFactor required for normal spore cortex and coat synthesis (stage V sporulation); Coordinates cortex and coat assembly during sporulation. Associates with the spore coat protein SpoIVA and with the outer forespore membrane, thereby serving as a membrane anchor that tethers SpoIVA and the entire spore coat to the forespore surface. May also serve as a competitive inhibitor of FtsH activity during sporulation. (26 aa)
cotEMorphogenic spore protein; Morphogenic protein required for the assembly of the outer coat of the endospore. Is also a regulatory protein for the expression of cotA, cotB, cotC, cotH and other genes encoding spore outer coat proteins. (181 aa)
sspCSmall acid-soluble spore protein (alpha/beta-type SASP); SASP are bound to spore DNA. They are double-stranded DNA- binding proteins that cause DNA to change to an a-like conformation. They protect the DNA backbone from chemical and enzymatic cleavage and are thus involved in dormant spore's high resistance to UV light. (72 aa)
spoIVAMorphogenetic stage IV sporulation protein; ATPase. Has a role at an early stage in the morphogenesis of the spore coat outer layers. Its ATP hydrolysis is required for proper assembly of the spore coat. Forms a basement layer around the outside surface of the forespore and self-assembles irreversibly into higher order structures by binding and hydrolyzing ATP thus creating a durable and stable platform upon which thereafter morphogenesis of the coat can take place. Required for proper localization of spore coat protein CotE and sporulation-specific proteins including SpoVM. (492 aa)
ypeBSpore membrane component; Required for spore cortex hydrolysis during germination. Appears to be required for either expression, localization, activation or function of SleB. (450 aa)
sleBSpore cortex-lytic enzyme; Could be a lytic transglycosylase. Required for spore cortex hydrolysis during germination. Interacts strongly but noncovalently with spore components. (305 aa)
yqhHPutative RNA polymerase-associated helicase protein; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pe: putative enzyme; Belongs to the SNF2/RAD54 helicase family. (557 aa)
yqhGConserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function. (264 aa)
safAMorphogenetic protein associated with SpoVID; Probably involved in the assembly of some coat protein components implicated in both lysozyme resistance and germination. Could be required for the assembly of CotG. Associates with SpoIVD during the early stage of coat assembly. (387 aa)
spoVIDMorphogenetic spore protein (stage VI sporulation); Required for assembly of a normal spore coat. May be a component of the innermost layer of the spore coat that aids in its adherence to the prespore. (575 aa)
gerETranscriptional regulator; Involved in the regulation of spore formation. Directs the transcription of several genes that encode structural components of the protein coat that encases the mature spore (CotB, CotC, CotG, CotS, CotV, CotW, CotX, CotY and CotZ). Controls also the cgeAB and cgeCDE operons. (74 aa)
lytHSporulation-specific L-Ala-D-Glu endopeptidase; L-Ala--D-Glu endopeptidase involved in production of single L-alanine side chains from tetrapeptides in the spore cortex peptidoglycan. Therefore, is required for the endospore cortex maturation. (326 aa)
yunCPutative RNA binding protein; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pf: putative factor. (101 aa)
rsfAPrespore-specific regulatory gene; Seems to improve the efficiency of sporulation by fine-tuning the expression of genes in the sigma F regulon, particularly the timing of their expression. Negatively regulates spoIIR and its own synthesis. (258 aa)
gerQInner spore coat protein; Essential for the localization of CwlJ in the spore coat and for spore germination triggered by calcium and dipicolinic acid (DPA). Its assembly into the spore coat is dependent on the coat morphogenetic proteins CotE and SpoIVA. (181 aa)
