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

spoVDPenicillin-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. (646 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
spoVE
Factor for spore cortex peptidoglycan synthesis (stage V sporulation); May play an essential role not only during sporulation, but also during vegetative growth; Belongs to the SEDS family. SpoVE subfamily.
 
 0.998
ftsW
Cell-division protein; Peptidoglycan polymerase that is essential for cell division.
 
 0.969
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.
 
 0.953
mraY
phospho-N-acetylmuramoyl-pentapeptide transferase; First step of the lipid cycle reactions in the biosynthesis of the cell wall peptidoglycan; Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 4 family. MraY subfamily.
  
 0.932
spoVB
Putative putative translocase with flippase function for teichoic acid synthesis; Involved, directly or indirectly, in spore cortex biosynthesis. Affects only indirectly the expression of late sporulation genes.
  
  
 0.924
pbpG
Sporulation specific penicillin-binding protein; Involved in the polymerization and cross-linking of spore peptidoglycan. May be required for synthesis of the spore germ cell wall, the first layer of peptidoglycan synthesized on the surface of the inner forespore membrane; In the C-terminal section; belongs to the transpeptidase family.
 
 
 0.909
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).
  
 0.899
murD
UDP-N-acetylmuramoylalanyl-D-glutamate ligase; Cell wall formation. Catalyzes the addition of glutamate to the nucleotide precursor UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine (UMA). Belongs to the MurCDEF family.
  
 0.875
murE
UDP-N-acetylmuramoylalanyl-D-glutamate-2, 6-diaminopimelate ligase; Catalyzes the addition of meso-diaminopimelic acid to the nucleotide precursor UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamate (UMAG) in the biosynthesis of bacterial cell-wall peptidoglycan. Belongs to the MurCDEF family. MurE subfamily.
  
 0.869
divIB
Cell-division initiation protein; Cell division protein that may be involved in stabilizing or promoting the assembly of the division complex. Plays an essential role in division at high temperatures, maybe by protecting FtsL from degradation or by promoting formation of the FtsL-DivIC complex. May modulate the transpeptidase activity of PBP-2B. Also required for efficient sporulation at all temperatures. Could be directly involved in the engulfment process or be required to form a sporulation septum competent for engulfment. Influences the Spo0J/Soj system of chromosome segregation. B [...]
