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.

ykfBL-Ala-D/L-Glu epimerase; Catalyzes the epimerization of L-Ala-D-Glu to L-Ala-L-Glu and has probably a role in the metabolism of the murein peptide, of which L-Ala-D-Glu is a component. Is also able to catalyze the reverse reaction and the epimerization of the other Ala-X dipeptides L-Ala-L- Asp, L-Ala-L-Leu, L-Ala-L-Met, and L-Ala-L-Ser. Is not able to epimerize other L-Ala-X dipeptides. Is also active with L-Ser-L-Glu and, oddly, L-Pro-L-Glu, but not with L-Glu-L-Glu, L-Lys-L-Glu, L-Lys- L-Ala, or D-Ala-D-Ala. (366 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ykfC
gamma-D-glutamyl-L-diaminoacid endopeptidase; Specifically hydrolyzes gamma-D-glutamyl-L-lysine bonds in murein peptides, releasing L-Ala-D-Glu.
 
  
 0.988
ldcA
Muropeptide L,D-carboxypeptidase; May be involved in the degradation of peptidoglycan by catalyzing the cleavage of the terminal D-alanine residue from cytoplasmic murein peptides; Belongs to the peptidase S66 family.
 
    0.956
ykfD
Putative cell wall oligopeptide ABC transporter (ATP binding protein); Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; putative transporter; Belongs to the ABC transporter superfamily.
  
  
 0.951
dppA
D-alanyl-aminopeptidase; Hydrolyzes N-terminal residues in D-amino acid containing peptides. Among the tested substrates, the highest activities are with D-Ala-D-Ala and D-Ala-Gly-Gly. The physiological role is not clear; Belongs to the peptidase M55 family.
 
    0.895
dppE
Dipeptide ABC transporter (dipeptide-binding lipoprotein); Part of the binding-protein-dependent transport system for dipeptides; probably responsible for the binding of dipeptides with high affinity. Is expressed to facilitate adaptation to nutrient deficiency conditions, which also induce sporulation; Belongs to the bacterial solute-binding protein 5 family.
  
    0.873
dppD
Dipeptide ABC transporter (ATP-binding protein); Part of the binding-protein-dependent transport system for dipeptides. Probably responsible for energy coupling to the transport system. Expressed to facilitate adaptation to nutrient deficiency conditions, which also induce sporulation; Belongs to the ABC transporter superfamily.
  
    0.870
dppB
Dipeptide ABC transporter (permease); Part of the binding-protein-dependent transport system for dipeptides; probably responsible for the translocation of the substrate across the membrane. Is expressed to facilitate adaptation to nutrient deficiency conditions.
  
    0.867
dppC
Dipeptide ABC transporter (permease); Part of the binding-protein-dependent transport system for dipeptides; probably responsible for the translocation of the substrate across the membrane. Is expressed to facilitate adaptation to nutrient deficiency conditions, which also induce sporulation.
  
    0.811
yjcL
Putative integral inner membrane protein; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pm: putative membrane component.
 
    0.532
uxaC
Galacturonate isomerase; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type e: enzyme.
