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)
spoVTTranscriptional regulator; Transcriptional factor that regulates positively or negatively the expression of a large number of forespore-specific sigma G-dependent genes. May provide a mechanism of feedback control that is important for forespore development. SpoVT levels during spore formation have a major impact on the germination and the resistance of the resultant spores. To B.subtilis AbrB and Abh. (178 aa)
cwlJCell wall hydrolase; Probable spore cortex-lytic enzyme involved in the depolymerization of cortex peptidoglycan during germination. (142 aa)
alrAD-alanine racemase; Catalyzes the interconversion of L-alanine and D-alanine. May also act on other amino acids; Belongs to the alanine racemase family. (389 aa)
yhcNPutative lipoprotein; Probably contributes, directly or indirectly, to early events in germination. May play a role in spore outgrowth. (189 aa)
cotXSpore coat protein (insoluble fraction); Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type cp: cell process. (172 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)
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)
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)
ytfJConserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function. (151 aa)
acsAacetyl-CoA synthetase; Catalyzes the conversion of acetate into acetyl-CoA (AcCoA), an essential intermediate at the junction of anabolic and catabolic pathways. AcsA undergoes a two-step reaction. In the first half reaction, AcsA combines acetate with ATP to form acetyl-adenylate (AcAMP) intermediate. In the second half reaction, it can then transfer the acetyl group from AcAMP to the sulfhydryl group of CoA, forming the product AcCoA (By similarity). Has a role in growth and sporulation on acetate. (572 aa)
tglProtein-glutamine gamma-glutamyltransferase (transglutaminase); Probably plays a role in the assembly of the spore coat proteins by catalyzing epsilon-(gamma-glutamyl)lysine cross-links. In wild-type spores at 37 degrees Celsius, tgl mediates the cross-linking of GerQ in higher molecular mass forms, probably in cooperation with YabG; Belongs to the bacillus TGase family. (245 aa)
cotBSpore coat protein (outer); Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type s: structure. (380 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)
