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

wecDLipopolysaccharide biosynthesis protein rffC; Catalyzes the acetylation of dTDP-fucosamine (dTDP-4-amino- 4,6-dideoxy-D-galactose) to dTDP-Fuc4NAc, which is utilized in the biosynthesis of the enterobacterial common antigen (ECA). Belongs to the WecD family. (224 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
wecE
Lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis protein rffA; Catalyzes the synthesis of dTDP-4-amino-4,6-dideoxy-D- galactose (dTDP-Fuc4N) from dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-glucose (dTDP-D- Glc4O) and L-glutamate; Belongs to the DegT/DnrJ/EryC1 family.
 
 
 0.998
rffH
Glucose-1-phosphate thymidylyltransferase; Catalyzes the formation of dTDP-glucose, from dTTP and glucose 1-phosphate, as well as its pyrophosphorolysis. Belongs to the glucose-1-phosphate thymidylyltransferase family.
  
  
 0.975
wecC
UDP-N-acetyl-D-mannosamine dehydrogenase; Catalyzes the four-electron oxidation of UDP-N-acetyl-D- mannosamine (UDP-ManNAc), reducing NAD(+) and releasing UDP-N- acetylmannosaminuronic acid (UDP-ManNAcA); Belongs to the UDP-glucose/GDP-mannose dehydrogenase family. WecC subfamily.
 
  
 0.974
rffG
dTDP-glucose 4,6-dehydratase; Escherichia coli K-12 ortholog: b3788; Escherichia coli O157:H7 ortholog: z5299; Belongs to the NAD(P)-dependent epimerase/dehydratase family. dTDP-glucose dehydratase subfamily.
  
  
 0.962
wzzE
Lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis protein wzzE; Modulates the polysaccharide chain length of enterobacterial common antigen (ECA); Belongs to the WzzB/Cld/Rol family.
 
  
 0.943
wecF-2
4-alpha-L-fucosyltransferase; Catalyzes the synthesis of Und-PP-GlcNAc-ManNAcA-Fuc4NAc (Lipid III), the third lipid-linked intermediate involved in ECA synthesis; Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 56 family.
 
 
 0.911
wecB
UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase; Catalyzes the reversible epimerization at C-2 of UDP-N- acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) and thereby provides bacteria with UDP- N-acetylmannosamine (UDP-ManNAc), the activated donor of ManNAc residues.
  
  
 0.886
wzxE
WzxE protein; Mediates the transbilayer movement of Und-PP-GlcNAc-ManNAcA- Fuc4NAc (lipid III) from the inner to the outer leaflet of the cytoplasmic membrane during the assembly of enterobacterial common antigen (ECA); Belongs to the polysaccharide transport (PST) (TC 2.A.66.2) family.
 
  
 0.877
rfe
Undecaprenyl-phosphate alpha-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase; Catalyzes the transfer of the GlcNAc-1-phosphate moiety from UDP-GlcNAc onto the carrier lipid undecaprenyl phosphate (C55-P), yielding GlcNAc-pyrophosphoryl-undecaprenyl (GlcNAc-PP-C55).
 
   
 0.853
