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

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.
 
    
0.802
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.
 
   
 0.795
nanE
Conserved hypothetical protein; Converts N-acetylmannosamine-6-phosphate (ManNAc-6-P) to N- acetylglucosamine-6-phosphate (GlcNAc-6-P).
 
  
 0.778
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.
 
  
 0.708
VC_1775
Conserved hypothetical protein; Identified by Glimmer2; putative.
       0.516
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.
  
     0.420
prtV
Protease; Metalloprotease that exhibits a cytotoxic effect leading to cell death. In host tissues, it could play a role in pathogenesis by modulating the stability of the extracellular matrix components such as fibronectin and fibrinogen. Also able to cleave plasminogen.
    
  0.414
vcc
Collagenase; Possesses gelatinolytic activity; Belongs to the peptidase M9A family.
    
  0.409
VC_1783
N-acetylglucosamine-6-phosphate deacetylase; Similar to SP:O32445; identified by sequence similarity; putative.
 
   
 0.409
