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

lacAThiogalactoside acetyltransferase; Catalyzes the CoA-dependent transfer of an acetyl group to the 6-O-methyl position of a range of galactosides, glucosides, and lactosides. May assist cellular detoxification by acetylating non-metabolizable pyranosides, thereby preventing their reentry into the cell (Probable). Belongs to the transferase hexapeptide repeat family. (203 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
lacY
Lactose permease; Responsible for transport of beta-galactosides into the cell, with the concomitant import of a proton (symport system). Can transport lactose, melibiose, lactulose or the analog methyl-1-thio-beta,D- galactopyranoside (TMG), but not sucrose or fructose. The substrate specificity is directed toward the galactopyranosyl moiety of the substrate.
  
  
 0.997
lacZ
beta-D-galactosidase; Protein involved in carbohydrate catabolic process; Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 2 family.
  
  
 0.989
lacI
Lactose-inducible lac operon transcriptional repressor; Repressor of the lactose operon. Binds allolactose as an inducer.
  
  
 0.870
cynX
Putative cyanate transporter; This protein is part of an active transport system that transports exogenous cyanate into E.coli cells; Belongs to the major facilitator superfamily. Cyanate porter (TC 2.A.1.17) family.
   
  
 0.581
tig
Peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase (trigger factor); Involved in protein export. Acts as a chaperone by maintaining the newly synthesized secretory and non-secretory proteins in an open conformation. Binds to 3 regions of unfolded substrate PhoA, preferring aromatic and hydrophobic residues, keeping it stretched out and unable to form aggregates. Binds to nascent polypeptide chains via ribosomal protein L23. Functions as a peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase in vitro, this activity is dispensible in vivo for chaperone activity. Belongs to the FKBP-type PPIase family. Tig subfamily.
    
   0.499
wcaJ
Colanic biosynthesis UDP-glucose lipid carrier transferase; Is the initiating enzyme for colanic acid (CA) synthesis. Catalyzes the transfer of the glucose-1-phosphate moiety from UDP-Glc onto the carrier lipid undecaprenyl phosphate (C55-P), forming a phosphoanhydride bond yielding to glucosyl-pyrophosphoryl-undecaprenol (Glc-PP-C55). Also possesses a weak galactose-1-P transferase activity. Belongs to the bacterial sugar transferase family.
     
 0.435
cpsB
Mannose-1-phosphate guanyltransferase; Involved in the biosynthesis of the capsular polysaccharide colanic acid.
  
  
 0.414
arnB
Uridine 5'-(beta-1-threo-pentapyranosyl-4-ulose diphosphate) aminotransferase, PLP-dependent; Catalyzes the conversion of UDP-4-keto-arabinose (UDP-Ara4O) to UDP-4-amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinose (UDP-L-Ara4N). The modified arabinose is attached to lipid A and is required for resistance to polymyxin and cationic antimicrobial peptides.
  
  
 0.400
wecE
TDP-4-oxo-6-deoxy-D-glucose transaminase; Catalyzes the synthesis of dTDP-4-amino-4,6-dideoxy-D- galactose (dTDP-Fuc4N) from dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-glucose (dTDP-D- Glc4O) and L-glutamate.
