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

ywqFUDP-glucose dehydrogenase; Catalyzes the conversion of UDP-glucose into UDP-glucuronate, one of the precursors of teichuronic acid. Belongs to the UDP-glucose/GDP-mannose dehydrogenase family. (440 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
yngB
Putative UTP-glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase; Catalyzes the formation of UDP-glucose from glucose-1- phosphate and UTP. This is an intermediate step in the biosynthesis of diglucosyl-diacylglycerol (Glc2-DAG) (By similarity).
  
 0.983
ytdA
Putative UTP-glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pe: putative enzyme.

gtaB
UTP-glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase; Catalyzes the formation of UDP-glucose from glucose-1- phosphate and UTP. This is an intermediate step in the biosynthesis of diglucosyl-diacylglycerol (Glc2-DAG), i.e. the predominant glycolipid found in B.subtilis membrane, which is also used as a membrane anchor for lipoteichoic acid (LTA). Has a role in the biosynthesis of all phosphate-containing envelope polymers, since UDP-glucose serves as a glucosyl donor not only for the biosynthesis of LTA but also for wall teichoic acids (WTAs). Is required for biofilm formation. This is likely d [...]

ywqE
Protein tyrosine-phosphatase; Dephosphorylates the phosphotyrosine-containing proteins YwqD, YwqF and Ssb.
  
  
 0.957
galE
UDP-glucose 4-epimerase; Involved in the metabolism of galactose. Catalyzes the conversion of UDP-galactose (UDP-Gal) to UDP-glucose (UDP-Glc) through a mechanism involving the transient reduction of NAD (By similarity).
 
 
 0.944
ytcA
Putative UDP-glucose dehydrogenase; Catalyzes the conversion of UDP-glucose into UDP-glucuronate, one of the precursors of teichuronic acid.
  
  
 
0.910
tuaD
UDP-glucose 6-dehydrogenase; Catalyzes the conversion of UDP-glucose into UDP-glucuronate, one of the precursors of teichuronic acid; Belongs to the UDP-glucose/GDP-mannose dehydrogenase family.
  
  
0.908
ptkA
Protein tyrosine kinase; May be involved in the regulation of capsular polysaccharide biosynthesis. Autophosphorylates in vitro. Phosphorylates and activates in vitro two UDP-glucose dehydrogenases, YwqF and TuaD, as well as the DNA-binding proteins Ssb and SsbB; Belongs to the CpsD/CapB family.
  
  
 0.908
ywqC
Modulator of YwqD protein tyrosine kinase activity; Required for YwqD kinase activity. May bring YwqD and its substrates into contact. Probably involved in the regulation of capsular polysaccharide biosynthesis.
  
  
 0.905
ytcB
Putative UDP-glucose epimerase; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pe: putative enzyme; Belongs to the NAD(P)-dependent epimerase/dehydratase family.
