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.

ylxXConserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function. (235 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
sbp
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.
 
  
 0.996
ylxW
Conserved hypothetical protein; May be involved in cell division and sporulation. Belongs to the UPF0749 family.
 
  
 0.994
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 [...]

murB
UDP-N-acetylenolpyruvoylglucosamine reductase; Cell wall formation.
  
  
 0.786
murG
Undecaprenyl-PP-MurNAc-pentapeptide-UDPGlcNAc GlcNAc transferase; Cell wall formation. Catalyzes the transfer of a GlcNAc subunit on undecaprenyl-pyrophosphoryl-MurNAc-pentapeptide (lipid intermediate I) to form undecaprenyl-pyrophosphoryl-MurNAc- (pentapeptide)GlcNAc (lipid intermediate II); Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 28 family. MurG subfamily.
  
  
 0.760
ftsA
Cell-division protein essential fo Z-ring assembly; Cell division protein that is required for the assembly of the Z ring. May serve as a membrane anchor for the Z ring (By similarity). Binds and hydrolyzes ATP. Also involved in sporulation (Probable). Belongs to the FtsA/MreB family.
  
  
 0.686
rsiX
Negative regulator of sigma(X) activity; The anti-sigma factor for extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma factor SigX, inhibits SigX activity and stabilizes it.
  
    0.677
yabE
Putative cell wall shaping enzyme; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pe: putative enzyme.
 
     0.647
ftsZ
Cell-division initiation protein; Essential cell division protein that forms a contractile ring structure (Z ring) at the future cell division site. The regulation of the ring assembly controls the timing and the location of cell division. One of the functions of the FtsZ ring is to recruit other cell division proteins to the septum to produce a new cell wall between the dividing cells. Binds GTP and shows GTPase activity.
  
  
 0.639
yhdK
Negative regulator of the activity of sigma-M; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type ph: phenotype.
