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

rhlRTranscriptional 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). (241 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
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.
 
 
 0.999
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.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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.
   
  
 0.941
lasA
LasA 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 [...]
   
  
 0.927
gacA
Response regulator GacA; Positively controls the production of the autoinducer N- butyryl-homoserine lactone and the formation of the virulence factors pyocyanine, cyanide, and lipase.
 
 
 0.913
mvfR
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.
   
  
 0.908
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.
