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

yfiXConserved membrane protein YfiX; Catalyzes the transfer of a lysyl group from L-lysyl- tRNA(Lys) to membrane-bound phosphatidylglycerol (PG), which produces lysylphosphatidylglycerol (LPG), a major component of the bacterial membrane with a positive net charge. LPG synthesis contributes to bacterial virulence as it is involved in the resistance mechanism against cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMP) produces by the host's immune system (defensins, cathelicidins) and by the competing microorganisms. (850 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
lysS
lysyl-tRNA synthetase; Belongs to the class-II aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family.
 
 
 
 0.812
BL03108
Putative glycosyl transferase family 2/4 protein.
  
 
 0.738
ytxK
Putative RNA methylase YtxK.
   
    0.735
yrhL
ABC transporter; Putative acyltransferase.
 
   
 0.665
liaF
Conserved protein LiaF.
      
 0.637
BL01872
Hypothetical protein.
  
  
 0.611
yfhB
Phenazine biosynthesis-like protein; PhzC/PhzF protein.
       0.591
yneS
Conserved membrane protein YneS; Catalyzes the transfer of an acyl group from acyl-phosphate (acyl-PO(4)) to glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) to form lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). This enzyme utilizes acyl-phosphate as fatty acyl donor, but not acyl-CoA or acyl-ACP.
     
 0.573
ywnE
Cardiolipin synthetase; Catalyzes the reversible phosphatidyl group transfer from one phosphatidylglycerol molecule to another to form cardiolipin (CL) (diphosphatidylglycerol) and glycerol.
 
  
 0.572
ywjE
Putative Phospholipase; Belongs to the phospholipase D family. Cardiolipin synthase subfamily.
 
  
 0.563
