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.

lytFgamma-D-glutamate-meso-diaminopimelate muropeptidase (major autolysin); Cell wall hydrolase that cleaves gamma-D-glutamate-meso- diaminopimelate bonds in peptidoglycan. LytF is necessary and sufficient for vegetative daughter cell separation, and also seems to play a role in cell autolysis. (488 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
lytD
Exported N-acetylglucosaminidase (major autolysin) (CWBP90); Cell wall hydrolase not involved in cell autolysis, competence, sporulation or germination. It hydrolyzes the beta-1,4 glycan bond between the N-acetylglucosaminyl and the N-acetylmuramoyl residues in the glycan chain.
   
  
 0.990
lytC
Putative undecaprenyl-phosphate N-acetylgalactosaminyl-1-phosphate transferase; Autolysins are cell wall hydrolases involved in some important biological processes such as cell separation, cell-wall turnover, competence for genetic transformation, formation of the flagella - in particular of its basal body - and sporulation. Has a high affinity for teichoic acid-endowed peptidoglycan. LytC is required for efficient swarming motility but not at the level of cell separation or flagellum biosynthesis. Rather, LytC appears to be important for proper flagellar function.
 
  
 0.985
lytG
Exoglucosaminidase; Is the major glucosaminidase responsible for peptidoglycan structural determination during vegetative growth. Catalyzes the hydrolysis of 1,4-beta-linkages between N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and N- acetylmuramic acid residues in peptidoglycan. Acts processively from the ends of the glycan strands. Also plays a role in motility, chemotaxis and cell division.

hag
Flagellin protein; Flagellin is the subunit which polymerizes to form the filaments of bacterial flagella. Assembly into flagella requires FliW. Acts as a homeostatic autoinhibitory regulator to control its own cytoplasmic levels. Partner switching by flagellin between FliW and CsrA provides a flagellar assembly checkpoint to tightly control the timing of flagellin synthesis. Flagellin binds to assembly factor FliW, freeing translation regulator CsrA to repress translation of the flagellin mRNA. When the flagellar hook is assembled flagellin is secreted, depleting intracellular flagell [...]
   
 
 0.886
lytB
Modifier protein of major autolysin LytC; Possibly involved in cell wall metabolism during spore formation. Enhances the amidase activity approximately threefold.
  
  
 0.870
lytA
Membrane bound lipoprotein; Possible role in the secretion of LytB and LytC.
   
  
 0.838
flhO
Putative flagellar basal-body rod protein; Not required for motility.
   
 
 0.832
flhP
Putative flagellar hook-basal body protein; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type ps: putative structure; Belongs to the flagella basal body rod proteins family.
   
 
 0.818
sigD
RNA polymerase sigma-28 factor (sigma-D); Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. This alternative sigma factor is required for the transcription of the flagellin and motility genes as well as for wild- type chemotaxis.
   
  
 0.802
motA
Motility protein A; MotA and MotB comprise the stator element of the flagellar motor complex. Required for rotation of the flagellar motor. Probable transmembrane proton channel (By similarity).
