STRINGSTRING
STRING protein interaction network
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

murIGlutamate racemase; Provides the (R)-glutamate required for cell wall biosynthesis. (264 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
murD
UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine--D-glutamate ligase; Cell wall formation. Catalyzes the addition of glutamate to the nucleotide precursor UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine (UMA). Belongs to the MurCDEF family.
 
  
 0.992
spr1695
Hypothetical protein; Pyrophosphatase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of nucleoside triphosphates to their monophosphate derivatives, with a high preference for the non-canonical purine nucleotides XTP (xanthosine triphosphate), dITP (deoxyinosine triphosphate) and ITP. Seems to function as a house-cleaning enzyme that removes non-canonical purine nucleotides from the nucleotide pool, thus preventing their incorporation into DNA/RNA and avoiding chromosomal lesions. Belongs to the HAM1 NTPase family.
 
    0.980
scpA
Conserved hypothetical protein; Participates in chromosomal partition during cell division. May act via the formation of a condensin-like complex containing Smc and ScpB that pull DNA away from mid-cell into both cell halves. Belongs to the ScpA family.
  
    0.812
xerD-2
Recombinase, site specific; Putative tyrosine recombinase. Not involved in the cutting and rejoining of the recombining DNA molecules on dif(SL) site.
  
    0.812
spr1693
Conserved hypothetical protein.
       0.797
spr1694
Conserved hypothetical protein.
       0.797
alr
Alanine racemase; Catalyzes the interconversion of L-alanine and D-alanine. May also act on other amino acids; Belongs to the alanine racemase family.
 
  
 0.785
murF
UDP-N-acetylmuramoylalanine-D-glutamyl-lysine-D- alanyl-D-alanine ligase; Involved in cell wall formation. Catalyzes the final step in the synthesis of UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-pentapeptide, the precursor of murein; Belongs to the MurCDEF family. MurF subfamily.
 
   
 0.776
xpt
Xanthine phosphoribosyltransferase; Converts the preformed base xanthine, a product of nucleic acid breakdown, to xanthosine 5'-monophosphate (XMP), so it can be reused for RNA or DNA synthesis.
  
  
 0.773
murE
UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamyl-L- lysine Ligase; Catalyzes the addition of L-lysine to the nucleotide precursor UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamate (UMAG) in the biosynthesis of bacterial cell-wall peptidoglycan.
 
   
 0.766
