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

mreDCell-shape determining protein; Involved in formation of the rod shape of the cell. May also contribute to regulation of formation of penicillin-binding proteins (By similarity). (172 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
mreC
Cell-shape determining protein; Involved in formation and maintenance of cell shape. Required for the formation of proper helical filaments of MreB and for cell wall synthesis in the cylindrical part of the cell leading to cell elongation; Belongs to the MreC family.
  
 
 0.999
mreB
Cell-shape determining protein; Forms membrane-associated dynamic filaments that are essential for cell shape determination. Acts by regulating cell wall synthesis and cell elongation, and thus cell shape. A feedback loop between cell geometry and MreB localization may maintain elongated cell shape by targeting cell wall growth to regions of negative cell wall curvature (By similarity). Filaments rotate around the cell circumference in concert with the cell wall synthesis enzymes. The process is driven by the cell wall synthesis machinery and does not depend on MreB polymerization. The [...]

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.
  
  
 0.999
minC
Cell-division regulator (septum placement); Cell division inhibitor that blocks the formation of polar Z ring septums. Rapidly oscillates between the poles of the cell to destabilize FtsZ filaments that have formed before they mature into polar Z rings. Prevents FtsZ polymerization. The MinCD complex plays an important role in asymmetric septum formation during sporulation of B.subtilis cells.

mbl
MreB-like morphogen; Forms membrane-associated dynamic filaments that are essential for cell shape determination. Acts by regulating cell wall synthesis and cell elongation, and thus cell shape. A feedback loop between cell geometry and Mbl localization may maintain elongated cell shape by targeting cell wall growth to regions of negative cell wall curvature (By similarity). Filaments rotate around the cell circumference in concert with the cell wall synthesis enzymes. The process is driven by the cell wall synthesis machinery and does not depend on Mbl polymerization. Organizes peptid [...]

ftsW
Cell-division protein; Peptidoglycan polymerase that is essential for cell division.
  
  
 0.948
minD
ATPase activator of MinC; ATPase required for the correct placement of the division site. Cell division inhibitors MinC and MinD act in concert to form an inhibitor capable of blocking formation of the polar Z ring septums. Rapidly oscillates between the poles of the cell to destabilize FtsZ filaments that have formed before they mature into polar Z rings (By similarity); Belongs to the ParA family. MinD subfamily.
 
  
 0.944
pbpH
Penicillin-binding enzyme for formation of rod-shaped peptidoglycan cell wall; Involved in the polymerization of peptidoglycan. Plays a redundant role with PBP2a in determining the rod shape of the cell during vegetative growth and spore outgrowth. Belongs to the transpeptidase family.

mreBH
Cell-shape determining protein; Forms membrane-associated dynamic filaments that are essential for cell shape determination. Acts by regulating cell wall synthesis and cell elongation, and thus cell shape. A feedback loop between cell geometry and MreBH localization may maintain elongated cell shape by targeting cell wall growth to regions of negative cell wall curvature (By similarity). Filaments rotate around the cell circumference in concert with the cell wall synthesis enzymes. The process is driven by the cell wall synthesis machinery and does not depend on MreBH polymerization. O [...]

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.
