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

ywpEPutative sortase; Seems not to play a major role if any as a sortase. (102 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
srtA
Sortase A; Transpeptidase that anchors surface proteins to the cell wall. Recognizes and modifies its substrate by proteolytic cleavage of a C-terminal sorting signal. Following cleavage, a covalent intermediate is formed via a thioester bond between the sortase and its substrate, which is then transferred and covalently attached to the cell wall (Probable). This sortase recognizes a Leu-Pro-Asp-Thr-Ser/Ala (LPDTS/A) motif. It has two substrates, YhcR and YfkN. Belongs to the bacterial sortase family. Class D subfamily.
     
 0.928
secA
Translocase binding subunit (ATPase); Part of the Sec protein translocase complex. Interacts with the SecYEG preprotein conducting channel. Has a central role in coupling the hydrolysis of ATP to the transfer of proteins into and across the cell membrane, serving as an ATP-driven molecular motor driving the stepwise translocation of polypeptide chains across the membrane; Belongs to the SecA family.
      
 0.790
yhcR
Non specific extracellular endonuclease cleaving RNA and DNA; Sugar-nonspecific endonuclease that yields nucleotide 3'- monophosphate products. No 5'-nucleotidase activity was detected, using 5'-AMP as the substrate, in the presence of diverse divalent metals and with various pH values.
  
  
 0.782
ydbI
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.
 
     0.615
aprE
Serine alkaline protease (subtilisin E); Subtilisin is an extracellular alkaline serine protease, it catalyzes the hydrolysis of proteins and peptide amides; Belongs to the peptidase S8 family.
      
 0.589
ybgA
Putative transcriptional regulator (GntR family); Transcriptional repressor of genes involved in glucosamine transport and utilization. Represses the expression of the gamAP operon by binding to the gamA-gamR intergenic region.
      
 0.574
birA
Biotin acetyl-CoA-carboxylase ligase and biotin regulon repressor; Acts both as a biotin--[acetyl-CoA-carboxylase] ligase and a repressor; Belongs to the biotin--protein ligase family.
      
 0.553
yfkN
Exported 2',3'-cyclic-nucleotide 2'-phosphodiesterase, 2' (or 3') nucleotidase and 5' nucleotidase; Catalyzes the release of inorganic phosphate from 2',3'- cyclic nucleotides through consecutive 2',3'-phosphodiesterase and 3'- (or 2') nucleotidase activities. Also possesses a 5'-nucleotidase activity. Does not catalyze the release of inorganic phosphate from 3',5'-cyclic nucleotides. Probably plays a role in the cellular reprocessing of nucleotides present in the medium, under conditions of phosphate shortage.
   
  
 0.523
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 [...]

dltB
Putative D-alanine esterase for lipoteichoic acid and wall teichoic acid; Involved in the D-alanylation of lipoteichoic acid (LTA). Could be involved in the transport of activated D-alanine through the membrane. 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.
