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:
recUHolliday junction resolvase; Has at least 2 separable functions; Holliday junction resolution with generation of monomeric chromosomes, and modulation of RecA activity. Endonuclease that resolves Holliday junction intermediates in genetic recombination. Cleaves mobile four-strand junctions by introducing symmetrical nicks in paired strands. Promotes annealing of linear ssDNA with homologous dsDNA. Required for DNA repair, homologous recombination and chromosome segregation. Partially inhibits the hydrolysis of dATP or rATP by RecA. Holliday junction resolution is stimulated by RuvB. (206 aa)
ypbEConserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function; PubMedId: 16855244. (240 aa)
yrrSConserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function; PubMedId: 14679248. (233 aa)
pbpIPenicillin-binding protein PBP4B; Penicillin-binding protein with an unknown catalytic activity. Penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) function in the late steps of murein biosynthesis. Beta-lactamase inactivates the PBPs by acylating an essential serine residue in the active site of these proteins, thereby interrupting normal cell wall synthesis; Belongs to the transpeptidase family. (584 aa)
mreCCell-shape determining protein; Involved in formation and maintenance of cell shape. Required for the formation of proper helical filaments of MreB and for cell wall synthesis in the cylindrical part of the cell leading to cell elongation; Belongs to the MreC family. (290 aa)
mreBCell-shape determining protein; Forms membrane-associated dynamic filaments that are essential for cell shape determination. Acts by regulating cell wall synthesis and cell elongation, and thus cell shape. A feedback loop between cell geometry and MreB localization may maintain elongated cell shape by targeting cell wall growth to regions of negative cell wall curvature (By similarity). Filaments rotate around the cell circumference in concert with the cell wall synthesis enzymes. The process is driven by the cell wall synthesis machinery and does not depend on MreB polymerization. The [...] (337 aa)
yshAConserved hypothetical protein; Activator of cell division through the inhibition of FtsZ GTPase activity, therefore promoting FtsZ assembly into bundles of protofilaments necessary for the formation of the division Z ring. It is recruited early at mid-cell but it is not essential for cell division (By similarity); Belongs to the ZapA family. Type 2 subfamily. (85 aa)
ezrANegative regulator of FtsZ ring formation; Negative regulator of FtsZ ring formation; modulates the frequency and position of FtsZ ring formation. Inhibits FtsZ ring formation at polar sites. Interacts either with FtsZ or with one of its binding partners to promote depolymerization. (562 aa)
murAAUDP-N-acetylglucosamine 1-carboxyvinyltransferase; Cell wall formation. Adds enolpyruvyl to UDP-N- acetylglucosamine. Essential for cell growth; Belongs to the EPSP synthase family. MurA subfamily. (436 aa)
murABUDP-N-acetylglucosamine 1-carboxyvinyltransferase; Cell wall formation. Adds enolpyruvyl to UDP-N- acetylglucosamine; Belongs to the EPSP synthase family. MurA subfamily. (429 aa)
divICCell-division initiation protein; Required for vegetative and sporulation septum formation. Required for the activation of genes expressed under the control of the sporulation transcription factors sigma F and sigma E. (125 aa)
rpsLRibosomal protein S12 (BS12); With S4 and S5 plays an important role in translational accuracy. (138 aa)
mreBHCell-shape determining protein; Forms membrane-associated dynamic filaments that are essential for cell shape determination. Acts by regulating cell wall synthesis and cell elongation, and thus cell shape. A feedback loop between cell geometry and MreBH localization may maintain elongated cell shape by targeting cell wall growth to regions of negative cell wall curvature (By similarity). Filaments rotate around the cell circumference in concert with the cell wall synthesis enzymes. The process is driven by the cell wall synthesis machinery and does not depend on MreBH polymerization. O [...] (335 aa)
pbpBPenicillin-binding protein 2B; Penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) function in the late steps of murein biosynthesis. PBP-2B is required for vegetative cell division and sporulation septation. Beta-lactamase inactivates the PBPs by acylating an essential serine residue in the active site of these proteins, thereby interrupting normal cell wall synthesis; Belongs to the transpeptidase family. (716 aa)
divIBCell-division initiation protein; Cell division protein that may be involved in stabilizing or promoting the assembly of the division complex. Plays an essential role in division at high temperatures, maybe by protecting FtsL from degradation or by promoting formation of the FtsL-DivIC complex. May modulate the transpeptidase activity of PBP-2B. Also required for efficient sporulation at all temperatures. Could be directly involved in the engulfment process or be required to form a sporulation septum competent for engulfment. Influences the Spo0J/Soj system of chromosome segregation. B [...] (263 aa)
ftsACell-division protein essential fo Z-ring assembly; Cell division protein that is required for the assembly of the Z ring. May serve as a membrane anchor for the Z ring (By similarity). Binds and hydrolyzes ATP. Also involved in sporulation (Probable). Belongs to the FtsA/MreB family. (440 aa)
ftsZCell-division initiation protein; Essential cell division protein that forms a contractile ring structure (Z ring) at the future cell division site. The regulation of the ring assembly controls the timing and the location of cell division. One of the functions of the FtsZ ring is to recruit other cell division proteins to the septum to produce a new cell wall between the dividing cells. Binds GTP and shows GTPase activity. (382 aa)
sepFCell division machinery factor; Cell division protein that is part of the divisome complex and is recruited early to the Z-ring. Probably stimulates Z-ring formation, perhaps through the cross-linking of FtsZ protofilaments. Its function overlaps with FtsA; Belongs to the SepF family. (151 aa)
divIVACell-division initiation protein; May act as a pilot protein, directing MinCD to the polar septation sites or by inhibiting MinCD at the midcell site of division. Required for polar localization of the chromosome during sporulation. (164 aa)
