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

lasALasA protease precursor; Involved in proteolysis and elastolysis (degradation of the host protein elastin). Has staphylolytic activity (degrades pentaglycine cross-links in cell wall peptidogylcan), preferring Gly- Gly-|-X substrates where X is Ala or Gly. Enhances the elastolytic but not proteolytic activity of elastase (lasB) and elastolytic activity of other proteases. Degradation of host elastin is likely to contribute to the pathogenicity of P.aeruginosa. While either His-317 or His-356 can abstract a proton in the hydrolysis reaction, the same residue performs both functions in a [...] (418 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
lasB
Elastase LasB; Cleaves host elastin, collagen, IgG, and several complement components as well as endogenous pro-aminopeptidase. Autocatalyses processing of its pro-peptide. Processes the pro-peptide of pro-chitin-binding protein (cbpD). Involved in the pathogenesis of P.aeruginosa infections.

rhlA
Rhamnosyltransferase chain A; Required for rhamnolipid surfactant production. Supplies the acyl moieties for rhamnolipid biosynthesis by competing with the enzymes of the type II fatty acid synthase (FASII) cycle for the beta-hydroxyacyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) pathway intermediates. Catalyzes the formation of one molecule of beta-hydroxydecanoyl-beta-hydroxydecanoate from two molecules of beta- hydroxydecanoyl-ACP. Is the only enzyme required to generate the lipid component of rhamnolipid. In vitro results establish that RhlA is highly selective for 10-carbon acyl-ACP intermediates [...]
   
  
 0.961
cbpD
Chitin-binding protein CbpD precursor; Binds chitin but does not hydrolyze it, has no detectable protease or staphylolytic activity.
  
  
 0.944
rhlR
Transcriptional regulator RhlR; Necessary for transcriptional activation of the rhlAB genes encoding the rhamnosyltransferase. It also functions as a transcriptional activator of elastase structural gene (lasB). Binds to autoinducer molecules BHL (N-butanoyl-L-homoserine lactone), and HHL (N-hexanoyl-L-homoserine lactone).
   
  
 0.927
lecA
LecA; D-galactose specific lectin. Binds in decreasing order of affinity: melibiose, methyl-alpha-D-galactoside, D-galactose, methyl- beta-D-galactoside, N-acetyl-D-galactosamine. Similar to plant lectins in its selective (carbohydrate-specific) hemagglutinating activity; Belongs to the LecA/PllA lectin family.
   
  
 0.911
aprA
Alkaline metalloproteinase precursor; Product name confidence: Class 1 (Function experimentally demonstrated in P. aeruginosa); Belongs to the peptidase M10B family.
   
  
 0.907
rhlI
Autoinducer synthesis protein RhlI; Required for the synthesis of BHL (N-butanoyl-L-homoserine lactone), and HHL (N-hexanoyl-L-homoserine lactone) autoinducer molecules which bind to RhlR and thus acts in elastase biosynthesis regulation.
  
  
 0.907
lasI
Autoinducer synthesis protein LasI; Required for the synthesis of PAI consisting of 3-oxo-N- (tetrahydro-2-oxo-3-furanyl)-dodecanamide also known as N-(3- oxododecanoyl)homoserine lactone, an autoinducer molecule which binds to LasR and thus acts in elastase biosynthesis regulation.
  
  
 0.899
lap
Probable aminopeptidase; A secreted aminopeptidase. Acts on free N-terminal amino groups with a very strong preference for Leu- followed by Met- and Ala-, and no activity on Glu- or Gly- peptides (an exhaustive analysis was not performed). Both the AP56 and AP28 forms have activity.
  
  
 0.893
lasR
Transcriptional regulator LasR; Transcriptional activator of elastase structural gene (LasB). Binds to the PAI autoinducer; Belongs to the autoinducer-regulated transcriptional regulatory protein family.
