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

pbpFPenicillin-binding protein 2C required for spore germination; Cell wall formation. May be involved in outgrowth of the germinated spore or it could function in the synthesis of the germ cell wall; In the N-terminal section; belongs to the glycosyltransferase 51 family. (714 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
dacA
D-alanyl-D-alanine carboxypeptidase (penicillin-binding protein 5); Removes C-terminal D-alanyl residues from sugar-peptide cell wall precursors; Belongs to the peptidase S11 family.
  
 
 0.932
ponA
Peptidoglycan glycosyltransferase (penicillin-binding proteins 1A and 1B); Cell wall formation. Synthesis of cross-linked peptidoglycan from the lipid intermediates. The enzyme has a penicillin-insensitive transglycosylase N-terminal domain (formation of linear glycan strands) and a penicillin-sensitive transpeptidase C-terminal domain (cross- linking of the peptide subunits).
  
  
0.927
dacF
D-alanyl-D-alanine carboxypeptidase (penicilin binding protein); Removes C-terminal D-alanyl residues from sugar-peptide cell wall precursors.
    
 0.919
yodJ
D-alanyl-D-alanine carboxypeptidase lipoprotein; Evidence 2a: Function of homologous gene experimentally demonstrated in an other organism; Product type e: enzyme.
     
 0.906
dacB
D-alanyl-D-alanine carboxypeptidase (penicillin-binding protein 5*); Removes C-terminal D-alanyl residues from sugar-peptide cell wall precursors. Required specifically for the synthesis of the spore form of peptidoglycan (cortex).
    
 0.906
pbpA
Transpeptidase (penicillin-binding protein 2A); Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type e: enzyme.
 
 
 
 0.902
rodA
Factor involved in extension of the lateral walls of the cell; Peptidoglycan polymerase that is essential for cell wall elongation. Also required for the maintenance of the rod cell shape. Belongs to the SEDS family. MrdB/RodA subfamily.
  
 
 0.801
spoVD
Penicillin-binding protein; Penicillin-binding protein with an unknown catalytic activity. May have a specialized role in the morphogenesis of spore cortex, which is a modified form of peptidoglycan. Pore cortex formation is determined primarily by the mother cell.
 
 
 0.785
cwlC
N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase; Autolysins are 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. CwlC is able to hydrolyze type A cell walls such as B.subtilis. Its main function is to lyze the mother cell wall peptidoglycan, playing a role during sporulation. Belongs to the N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase 3 family.
   
 
 0.778
pbpB
Penicillin-binding protein 2B; Penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) function in the late steps of murein biosynthesis. PBP-2B is required for vegetative cell division and sporulation septation. Beta-lactamase inactivates the PBPs by acylating an essential serine residue in the active site of these proteins, thereby interrupting normal cell wall synthesis; Belongs to the transpeptidase family.
