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

ykuDMurein transglycosylase; Probable enzyme that may play an important role in cell wall biology; Belongs to the YkuD family. (164 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ykuE
Putative metallophosphoesterase; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pe: putative enzyme; Belongs to the metallophosphoesterase superfamily.
  
    0.659
ykuC
Putative efflux transporter; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pt: putative transporter.
  
    0.607
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.
  
  
 0.598
lytE
Cell wall hydrolase; Cell wall hydrolase that cleaves gamma-D-glutamate-meso- diaminopimelate bonds in peptidoglycan (By similarity). Seems to play a role in cell separation during vegetative growth.
 
  
 0.524
cwlP
Lytic transglycosylase; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type h: extrachromosomal origin; Belongs to the transglycosylase Slt family.
  
  
 0.476
gerKB
Spore germination receptor subunit; Involved in the germination response to the combination of glucose, fructose, L-asparagine, and KCl; Belongs to the amino acid-polyamine-organocation (APC) superfamily. Spore germination protein (SGP) (TC 2.A.3.9) family.
  
    0.429
yrvJ
Putative N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase, family 3; Probably involved in cell-wall metabolism.
     
 0.428
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.
      
 0.424
ykyB
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function.
       0.422
fadH
Putative 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase; Auxiliary enzyme of beta-oxidation. It participates in the metabolism of unsaturated fatty enoyl-CoA esters having double bonds in both even- and odd-numbered positions. Catalyzes the NADP-dependent reduction of 2,4-dienoyl-CoA to yield trans-3-enoyl-CoA (By similarity); Belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family. 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase subfamily.
       0.422
