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

oatAPeptidoglycan O-acetyltransferase; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; enzyme. (634 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
sigV
RNA polymerase ECF(extracytoplasmic function)-type sigma factor (sigma(V)); Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. Positively regulates the expression of proteins involved in stress responses against bacitracin, paraquat and tellurite. Belongs to the sigma-70 factor family. ECF subfamily.

patB
Promiscuous cystathionine beta-lyase / cysteine desulfhydrase; Catalyzes the transformation of cystathionine to homocysteine. Also exhibits cysteine desulfhydrase activity in vitro, producing sulfide from cysteine; Belongs to the class-II pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family. MalY/PatB cystathionine beta-lyase subfamily.

yrhK
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function.
  
  
 0.902
rsiV
anti-sigma(V) factor; Anti-sigma factor for SigV. Negatively regulates SigV activity through direct interaction.
  
  
 0.894
dltA
D-alanine:D-alanyl-carrier protein ligase; Catalyzes the first step in the D-alanylation of lipoteichoic acid (LTA), the activation of D-alanine and its transfer onto the D- alanyl carrier protein (Dcp) DltC. In an ATP-dependent two-step reaction, forms a high energy D-alanyl-AMP intermediate, followed by transfer of the D-alanyl residue as a thiol ester to the phosphopantheinyl prosthetic group of the Dcp. D-alanylation of LTA plays an important role in modulating the properties of the cell wall in Gram-positive bacteria, influencing the net charge of the cell wall. Belongs to the ATP [...]

dapX
N-acetyl-L,L-diaminopimelate aminotransferase; Essential for murein biosynthesis. Probably catalyzes the conversion of L-2-acetamido-6-oxopimelate to N-acetyl-LL- 2,6-diaminopimelate (Probable); Belongs to the class-I pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family.
   
  
 0.832
pdaC
N-acetylmuramic acid deacetylase; Catalyzes the deacetylation of N-acetylmuramic acid (MurNAc) residues in peptidoglycan, a modification that confers resistance to lysosyme. Is not able to deacetylate N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) residues in peptidoglycan, but can deacylate chitin oligomers such as GlcNAc4 and GlcNAc5. Is essentially not active toward chitosan (partially deacetylated GlcNAc polymer) and has very low activity toward chitin (GlcNAc polymer). Does not deacetylate GlcNAc. In the N-terminal section; belongs to the RsiV family.

pbpX
Penicillin-binding endopeptidase X; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type e: enzyme; Belongs to the beta-lactamase family.
  
  
 0.753
mprF
Phosphatidylglycerol lysyltransferase involved in lysinylation of phospholipids; Catalyzes the transfer of a lysyl group from L-lysyl- tRNA(Lys) to membrane-bound phosphatidylglycerol (PG), which produces lysylphosphatidylglycerol (LPG), one of the components of the bacterial membrane with a positive net charge. LPG synthesis contributes to the resistance to cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs) and likely protects B.subtilis against its own CAMPs and against those produced by competiting microorganisms (bacteriocins). In fact, the modification of anionic phosphatidylglycerol with po [...]

ydaF
Putative ribosomal protein N-acetyltransferase; Putative N-acetyltransferase. May act on ribosomal proteins (Potential); Belongs to the acetyltransferase family.
