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.

lst
Alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase; Catalyzes the transfer of sialic acid from the substrate CMP- N-acetylneuraminate to the terminal galactose residue of the lacto-N- neotetraose branch of surface lipooligosaccharide (LOS), forming an alpha-2,3-sialyl linkage. Thus, functions in the sialylation of LOS, which plays a role in the evasion of the host immune response by protecting N.meningitidis from complement-mediated serum killing and from phagocytic killing by neutrophils. In vitro, can use a number of different synthetic acceptors with lactose or galactose as the saccharide portion, but sho [...]
