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.

nanMConserved hypothetical protein; Converts alpha-N-acetylneuranimic acid (Neu5Ac) to the beta- anomer, accelerating the equilibrium between the alpha- and beta- anomers. Probably facilitates sialidase-negative bacteria to compete sucessfully for limited amounts of extracellular Neu5Ac, which is likely taken up in the beta-anomer. In addition, the rapid removal of sialic acid from solution might be advantageous to the bacterium to damp down host responses; Belongs to the NanM family. (384 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
VC_1773
Conserved hypothetical protein; Identified by Glimmer2; putative.
 
    
0.856
nanH
Neuraminidase; Cleaves the terminal sialic acid (N-acetyl neuraminic acid) from carbohydrate chains in glycoproteins providing free sialic acid which can be used as carbon and energy sources. Sialidases have been suggested to be pathogenic factors in microbial infections. Facilitates cholera toxin binding to host intestinal epithelial cells by converting cell surface polysialogangliosides to GM1 monogangliosides; Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 33 family.
 
   
 0.812
nanE
Conserved hypothetical protein; Converts N-acetylmannosamine-6-phosphate (ManNAc-6-P) to N- acetylglucosamine-6-phosphate (GlcNAc-6-P).
 
  
 0.788
VC_1776
N-acetylneuraminate lyase, putative; Similar to GB:L42023 SP:P44539 PID:1003186 PID:1222055 PID:1204400; identified by sequence similarity; putative; Belongs to the DapA family.

VC_1775
Conserved hypothetical protein; Identified by Glimmer2; putative.
       0.591
siaQ
Conserved hypothetical protein; Part of the tripartite ATP-independent periplasmic (TRAP) transport system SiaPQM that catalyzes unidirectional Na(+)-dependent sialic acid uptake.
 
   
 0.521
nanK
ROK family protein; Catalyzes the phosphorylation of N-acetylmannosamine (ManNAc) to ManNAc-6-P; Belongs to the ROK (NagC/XylR) family. NanK subfamily.
 
   
 0.507
siaP
C4-dicarboxylate-binding periplasmic protein; Part of the tripartite ATP-independent periplasmic (TRAP) transport system SiaPQM that catalyzes unidirectional Na(+)-dependent sialic acid uptake. Binds the common sialic acid N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) with a high affinity.

VC_A0556
Hypothetical protein; Identified by Glimmer2; putative.
  
     0.425
gltS
Sodium/glutamate symporter; Catalyzes the sodium-dependent transport of glutamate. Belongs to the glutamate:Na(+) symporter (ESS) (TC 2.A.27) family.
