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.

dltCD-alanyl carrier protein; Carrier protein involved in the D-alanylation of lipoteichoic acid (LTA). The loading of thioester-linked D-alanine onto DltC is catalyzed by D-alanine--D-alanyl carrier protein ligase DltA. The DltC- carried D-alanyl group is further transferred to cell membrane phosphatidylglycerol (PG) by forming an ester bond, probably catalyzed by DltD. 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. (78 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
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 [...]

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.
 
 0.999
dltD
Putative D-alanine esterase for lipoteichoic acid and wall teichoic acid synthesis; Involved in the D-alanylation of lipoteichoic acid (LTA). Could be responsible for the transfer of DltC-carried D-alanyl groups to cell membrane phosphatidylglycerol (PG), or alternatively of D- alanine residues from D-Ala-undecaprenol phosphate to the poly(glycerophosphate) chains of LTA. 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.

dltE
Putative oxidoreductase; 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 short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family.
  
  
 0.966
tagE
UDP-glucose:polyglycerol phosphate alpha-glucosyltransferase; Catalyzes the addition of glucose to the C-2 hydroxy group of the glycerol units in teichoic acid.
   
 
 0.948
yfhO
Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function.

yvhJ
Putative membrane bound transcriptional regulator; May catalyze the final step in cell wall teichoic acid biosynthesis, the transfer of the anionic cell wall polymers (APs) from their lipid-linked precursor to the cell wall peptidoglycan (PG). Belongs to the LytR/CpsA/Psr (LCP) family.
