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

fapRTranscription factor controlling fatty acid and phospholipid metabolism; Transcription factor involved in regulation of membrane lipid biosynthesis by repressing genes involved in fatty acid and phospholipid metabolism. Binds to the 5'-TTAGTANNNNNTANTAA-3' consensus sequence found in the promoter of fabHAF operon (containing fabHA and fabF genes), yhdO and fapR genes and prevents their expression. Its action is probably modulated by malonyl-CoA. (188 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
plsX
phosphate:acyl-ACP acyltransferase; Catalyzes the reversible formation of acyl-phosphate (acyl- PO(4)) from acyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] (acyl-ACP). This enzyme utilizes acyl-ACP as fatty acyl donor, but not acyl-CoA.
  
  
 0.997
fabD
Malonyl CoA:acyl carrier protein transacylase; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type e: enzyme; Belongs to the FabD family.
 
  
 0.990
fabHA
Beta-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein synthase III 1; Catalyzes the condensation reaction of fatty acid synthesis by the addition to an acyl acceptor of two carbons from malonyl-ACP. Catalyzes the first condensation reaction which initiates fatty acid synthesis and may therefore play a role in governing the total rate of fatty acid production. Possesses both acetoacetyl-ACP synthase and acetyl transacylase activities. Has some substrate specificity for branched chain acyl-CoA, determining the biosynthesis of branched-chain of fatty acids instead of straight-chain.
 
  
 0.957
fabG
Beta-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein reductase; Catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of beta-ketoacyl-ACP substrates to beta-hydroxyacyl-ACP products, the first reductive step in the elongation cycle of fatty acid biosynthesis; Belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family.
  
  
 0.931
fabF
Beta-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein synthase II; Catalyzes the condensation reaction of fatty acid synthesis by the addition to an acyl acceptor of two carbons from malonyl-ACP. Belongs to the thiolase-like superfamily. Beta-ketoacyl-ACP synthases family.
  
  
 0.925
fabI
Enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase; Catalyzes the reduction of a carbon-carbon double bond in an enoyl moiety that is covalently linked to an acyl carrier protein (ACP). Involved in the elongation cycle of fatty acid which are used in the lipid metabolism.
   
  
 0.915
fadR
Transcriptional regulator of fatty acids degradation (TetR/AcrR family); Transcriptional regulator in fatty acid degradation. Represses transcription of genes required for fatty acid transport and beta-oxidation, including acdA, fadA, fadB, fadE, fadF, fadG, fadH, fadM, fadN, lcfA and lcfB. Binding of FadR to DNA is specifically inhibited by long chain fatty acyl-CoA compounds of 14-20 carbon atoms in length.
      
 0.913
plsC
1-acylglycerol-phosphate (1-acyl-G3P) acyltransferase; Converts lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) into phosphatidic acid (PA) by incorporating an acyl moiety at the 2 position. This enzyme utilizes acyl-ACP as fatty acyl donor, but not acyl-CoA. Belongs to the 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase family.
   
  
 0.886
acpA
Acyl carrier protein; Carrier of the growing fatty acid chain in fatty acid biosynthesis; Belongs to the acyl carrier protein (ACP) family.
  
  
 0.867
plsY
Acylphosphate:glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase; Catalyzes the transfer of an acyl group from acyl-phosphate (acyl-PO(4)) to glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) to form lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). This enzyme utilizes acyl-phosphate as fatty acyl donor, but not acyl-CoA or acyl-ACP; Belongs to the PlsY family.
