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

pqsD3-oxoacyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] synthase III; Required for the biosynthesis of a number of signaling molecules, such as the quinolone signal 2-heptyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)- quinolone (PQS), 2-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline (HHQ) and 2,4- dihydroxyquinoline (DHQ). These molecules are required for normal biofilm formation. Catalyzes the transfer of the anthraniloyl moiety from anthraniloyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA to form 2-aminobenzoylacetyl-CoA. The first step of the reaction is the formation of a covalent anthraniloyl-PqsD intermediate. Next, the short-lived intermediate 3-(2-aminophenyl)- 3-oxopropa [...] (337 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
pqsA
Probable coenzyme A ligase; Catalyzes the formation of anthraniloyl-CoA, which is the priming step for entry into the Pseudomonas quinolone signal (PQS) biosynthetic pathway. Also active on a variety of aromatic substrates, including benzoate and chloro and fluoro derivatives of anthranilate.

pqsE
Quinolone signal response protein; Required for the biosynthesis of the quorum-sensing signaling molecules 2-heptyl-4(1H)-quinolone (HHQ) and 2-heptyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)- quinolone (Pseudomonas quinolone signal or PQS), which are important for biofilm formation and virulence. Catalyzes the hydrolysis of the intermediate 2-aminobenzoylacetyl-CoA (2-ABA-CoA) to form 2- aminobenzoylacetate (2-ABA), the precursor of HHQ. In vitro, can also hydrolyze other substrates such as S-ethyl-acetothioacetate and acetoacetyl-CoA, but is inactive against anthraniloyl-CoA, malonyl-CoA and octanoyl-CoA. Be [...]

pqsB
PqsB; Required for the biosynthesis of the quorum-sensing signaling molecules 2-heptyl-4(1H)-quinolone (HHQ) and 2-heptyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)- quinolone (Pseudomonas quinolone signal or PQS), which are important for biofilm formation and virulence. The PqsC/PqsB complex catalyzes the condensation of 2-aminobenzoylacetate (2-ABA) and octanoyl-CoA to form HHQ. PqsB, together with PqsC, catalyzes the coupling of 2-ABA with the octanoate group, leading to decarboxylation and dehydration, and resulting in closure of the quinoline ring. PqsB is probably required for the proper folding of PqsC ra [...]

pqsC
PqsC; Required for the biosynthesis of the quorum-sensing signaling molecules 2-heptyl-4(1H)-quinolone (HHQ) and 2-heptyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)- quinolone (Pseudomonas quinolone signal or PQS), which are important for biofilm formation and virulence. The PqsC/PqsB complex catalyzes the condensation of 2-aminobenzoylacetate (2-ABA) and octanoyl-CoA to form HHQ. First, PqsC acquires an octanoyl group from octanoyl-CoA and forms an octanoyl-PqsC intermediate. Then, together with PqsB, it catalyzes the coupling of 2-ABA with the octanoate group, leading to decarboxylation and dehydration, and re [...]

phnB
Anthranilate synthase component II; Part of a heterotetrameric complex that catalyzes the two- step biosynthesis of anthranilate, a precursor for Pseudomonas quinolone signal (2-heptyl-3-hydroxy-4-quinolone; PQS) production which is required to induce the genes for the biosynthesis of the virulence factor pyocyanine (PCN), a characteristic blue-green phenazine pigment produced by P.aeruginosa. In the first step, the glutamine-binding beta subunit (PhnB) of anthranilate synthase (AS) provides the glutamine amidotransferase activity which generates ammonia as a substrate that, along with [...]

pqsH
Probable FAD-dependent monooxygenase; Involved in the terminal step of the biosynthesis of quinolone which in addition to serve as a potent signal for quorum sensing, chelates iron and promotes the formation of membrane vesicles (MVs). Catalyzes the hydroxylation of 2-heptyl-4-quinolone (C7-HHQ) to yield 2-heptyl-3-hydroxy-4-quinolone (PQS). Belongs to the 3-hydroxybenzoate 6-hydroxylase family.

Transcriptional regulator MvfR; Transcription regulator that plays a critical role in virulence by positively regulating the expression of multiple quorum sensing (QS)-regulated virulence factors, genes involved in protein secretion, translation, response to oxidative stress and the phnAB operon. At the stationary phase, negatively autoregulates its function through cleavage and translocation to the extracellular space ; Belongs to the LysR transcriptional regulatory family.
