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:
some 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

murCUdp-n-acetylmuramate--l-alanine ligase; Cell wall formation (491 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
murF
Udp-n-acetylmuramoyl-tripeptide--d-alanyl-d-alanine ligase; Involved in cell wall formation. Catalyzes the final step in the synthesis of UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-pentapeptide, the precursor of murein
 
 0.999
murG
Udp-n-acetylglucosamine--n-acetylmuramyl-(pentapeptide) pyrophosphoryl-undecaprenol n-acetylglucosamine transferase; Cell wall formation. Catalyzes the transfer of a GlcNAc subunit on undecaprenyl-pyrophosphoryl-MurNAc-pentapeptide (lipid intermediate I) to form undecaprenyl-pyrophosphoryl-MurNAc- (pentapeptide)GlcNAc (lipid intermediate II)
  
 0.999
murB
Udp-n-acetylenolpyruvoylglucosamine reductase, fad-binding; Cell wall formation
 0.999
murE
UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamate--2,6-diaminopimelate ligase; Catalyzes the addition of meso-diaminopimelic acid to the nucleotide precursor UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamate (UMAG) in the biosynthesis of bacterial cell-wall peptidoglycan. Is also able to use many meso-diaminopimelate analogs as substrates, although much less efficiently, but not L-lysine
 
 0.998
ddlB
D-alanine--d-alanine ligase b; Cell wall formation
 
 0.998
murD
Udp-n-acetylmuramoyl-l-alanine--d-glutamate ligase; Cell wall formation. Catalyzes the addition of glutamate to the nucleotide precursor UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine (UMA)
0.993
ftsW
Putative lipid ii flippase ftsw; Peptidoglycan polymerase that is essential for cell division (Probable). Functions probably in conjunction with the penicillin- binding protein 3 (ftsI) . Required for localization of FtsI
  
 0.991
mraY
Phospho-n-acetylmuramoyl-pentapeptide-transferase; First step of the lipid cycle reactions in the biosynthesis of the cell wall peptidoglycan
  
 0.989
ftsI
Cell division protein ftsi (penicillin-binding protein 3); Essential cell division protein that catalyzes cross-linking of the peptidoglycan cell wall at the division septum Required for localization of FtsN
 
 0.986
ftsQ
Divisome assembly protein, membrane anchored protein involved in growth of wall at septum; Essential cell division protein. May link together the upstream cell division proteins, which are predominantly cytoplasmic, with the downstream cell division proteins, which are predominantly periplasmic. May control correct divisome assembly
