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:
minCCell-division regulator (septum placement); Cell division inhibitor that blocks the formation of polar Z ring septums. Rapidly oscillates between the poles of the cell to destabilize FtsZ filaments that have formed before they mature into polar Z rings. Prevents FtsZ polymerization. The MinCD complex plays an important role in asymmetric septum formation during sporulation of B.subtilis cells. (226 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)

ponAPeptidoglycan glycosyltransferase (penicillin-binding proteins 1A and 1B); 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). (914 aa)
mreDCell-shape determining protein; Involved in formation of the rod shape of the cell. May also contribute to regulation of formation of penicillin-binding proteins (By similarity). (172 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)
racEGlutamate racemase; Provides the (R)-glutamate required for cell wall biosynthesis. (272 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)
murCUDP-N-acetyl muramate-alanine ligase; Cell wall formation; Belongs to the MurCDEF family. (432 aa)
sftADNA translocase; Required for the accurate completion of chromosome partitioning, in part by promoting efficient resolution of chromosome dimers, before the formation of the division septum. Binds to DNA in a non-specific manner. Shows ATPase activity. Not required for cytokinesis. (952 aa)
ftsXCell-division ABC transporter; Part of the ABC transporter FtsEX involved in asymmetric cellular division facilitating the initiation of sporulation. May act as an importer, possibly at the top of a hierarchical cascade leading to the correct temporal initiation of sporulation. Acts upstream of the histidine kinases KinA, KinB and KinC, the RapA phosphatase and the Spo0A sporulation protein; Belongs to the ABC-4 integral membrane protein family. FtsX subfamily. (296 aa)
ftsECell-division ABC transporter (ATP-binding protein); Part of the ABC transporter FtsEX involved in sporulation. May act as an importer, possibly at the top of a hierarchical cascade leading to the correct temporal initiation of sporulation. Acts upstream of the histidine kinases KinA, KinB and KinC, the RapA phosphatase and the Spo0A sporulation protein. (228 aa)

spoIIIESpore DNA translocase; Plays an essential role during sporulation. Required for the translocation of the chromosomal DNA from mother cell into the forespore during polar septation, for the final steps of compartmentalization in the presence of trapped DNA, and for the final steps of engulfment. The N-terminus mediates localization to the division septum and is required for both septal membrane fusion and engulfment membrane fusion. May form DNA-conducting channels across the two lipid bilayers of the septum after cell division. The C-terminus functions as a DNA motor that exports DNA i [...] (787 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)
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)
