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.

ftsWCell division protein FtsW; Belongs to the SEDS family. (409 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
pbpX
Penicillin-binding protein 2X; Penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) function in the late steps of murein biosynthesis. Beta-lactams inactivate the PBPs by acylating an essential serine residue in the active site of these proteins.
 
 
 0.994
divIB
Cell division protein DivIB; Cell division protein that may be involved in stabilizing or promoting the assembly of the division complex.
  
 
 0.988
pbp2b
Penicillin-binding protein 2B.
 
 
 0.985
ftsA
Cell division protein FtsA; Cell division protein that is involved in the assembly of the Z ring. May serve as a membrane anchor for the Z ring. Belongs to the FtsA/MreB family.
 
 
 0.980
murG
Undecaprenyl-PP-MurNAc-pentapeptide-UDPGlcNAc GlcNAc transferase; Cell wall formation. Catalyzes the transfer of a GlcNAc subunit on undecaprenyl-pyrophosphoryl-MurNAc-pentapeptide (lipid intermediate I) to form undecaprenyl-pyrophosphoryl-MurNAc- (pentapeptide)GlcNAc (lipid intermediate II); Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 28 family. MurG subfamily.
 
  
 0.978
pbp2a
Penicillin-binding protein 2a.
  
 
 
 0.973
ftsZ
Cell division protein FtsZ; 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.
 
 
 0.968
rodA
Rod shape determining protein; Belongs to the SEDS family.
 
  
0.964
ftsK
Cell division protein; Essential cell division protein that coordinates cell division and chromosome segregation. The N-terminus is involved in assembly of the cell-division machinery. The C-terminus functions as a DNA motor that moves dsDNA in an ATP-dependent manner towards the difSL recombination site, which is located within the replication terminus region (By similarity). Required for activation of the XerS recombinase, allowing activation of chromosome unlinking by recombination; Belongs to the FtsK/SpoIIIE/SftA family.
 
  
 0.962
mreC
Cell shape determining protein MreC; Involved in formation and maintenance of cell shape.
  
  
 0.946
