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:
ftsZGTP-binding tubulin-like cell division 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. Polymerization and bundle formation is enhanced by CbeA. (383 aa)
macBMacrolide ABC transporter peremase/ATPase; Part of the tripartite efflux system MacAB-TolC. MacB is a non-canonical ABC transporter that contains transmembrane domains (TMD), which form a pore in the inner membrane, and an ATP-binding domain (NBD), which is responsible for energy generation. When overexpressed, the system confers resistance against macrolides composed of 14- and 15-membered lactones but no or weak resistance against 16-membered ones. In addition, the system could also transport R-LPS or a similar glycolipid. Belongs to the ABC transporter superfamily. Macrolide exporte [...] (648 aa)
lolALipoprotein chaperone; Participates in the translocation of lipoproteins from the inner membrane to the outer membrane. Only forms a complex with a lipoprotein if the residue after the N-terminal Cys is not an aspartate (The Asp acts as a targeting signal to indicate that the lipoprotein should stay in the inner membrane); the inner membrane retention signal functions at the release step. (203 aa)
lolCLipoprotein-releasing system transmembrane protein; Part of an ATP-dependent transport system LolCDE responsible for the release of lipoproteins targeted to the outer membrane from the inner membrane. Such a release is dependent of the sorting-signal (absence of an Asp at position 2 of the mature lipoprotein) and of LolA. (399 aa)
lolDOuter membrane-specific lipoprotein transporter subunit; Part of the ABC transporter complex LolCDE involved in the translocation of mature outer membrane-directed lipoproteins, from the inner membrane to the periplasmic chaperone, LolA. Responsible for the formation of the LolA-lipoprotein complex in an ATP-dependent manner. Such a release is dependent of the sorting-signal (absence of an Asp at position 2 of the mature lipoprotein) and of LolA. (233 aa)
lolELipoprotein-releasing system transmembrane protein; Part of an ATP-dependent transport system LolCDE responsible for the release of lipoproteins targeted to the outer membrane from the inner membrane. Such a release is dependent of the sorting-signal (absence of an Asp at position 2 of the mature lipoprotein) and of LolA. (414 aa)
hisPHistidine ABC transporter ATPase; Part of the histidine permease ABC transporter. Also part of a lysine/arginine/ornithine transporter. Responsible for energy coupling to the transport system (By similarity). (257 aa)
nlpDActivator of AmiC murein hydrolase activity, lipoprotein; Activator of the cell wall hydrolase AmiC. Required for septal murein cleavage and daughter cell separation during cell division. (379 aa)
ftsXPutative ABC transporter permease; Part of the ABC transporter FtsEX involved in cellular division. Important for assembly or stability of the septal ring. Encoded in an operon consisting of genes ftsY, ftsE and ftsX. Belongs to the ABC-4 integral membrane protein family. FtsX subfamily. (352 aa)
ftsECell division ATP-binding protein; Part of the ABC transporter FtsEX involved in cellular division. Important for assembly or stability of the septal ring. (222 aa)
ftsNEssential cell division protein; Essential cell division protein that activates septal peptidoglycan synthesis and constriction of the cell. Acts on both sides of the membrane, via interaction with FtsA in the cytoplasm and interaction with the FtsQBL complex in the periplasm. These interactions may induce a conformational switch in both FtsA and FtsQBL, leading to septal peptidoglycan synthesis by FtsI and associated synthases (Probable). Required for full FtsI activity. Required for recruitment of AmiC to the septal ring. Belongs to the FtsN family. (319 aa)
malKMaltose ABC transportor ATPase; Part of the ABC transporter complex MalEFGK involved in maltose/maltodextrin import. Responsible for energy coupling to the transport system; Belongs to the ABC transporter superfamily. Maltooligosaccharide importer (TC 3.A.1.1.1) family. (371 aa)
ftsAATP-binding cell division FtsK recruitment protein; Essential cell division protein that assists in the assembly of the Z ring. May serve as the principal membrane anchor for the Z ring. Also required for the recruitment to the septal ring of the downstream cell division proteins FtsK, FtsQ, FtsL, FtsI and FtsN. Binds ATP. (420 aa)
