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

galEUDP-galactose-4-epimerase; Involved in the metabolism of galactose. Catalyzes the conversion of UDP-galactose (UDP-Gal) to UDP-glucose (UDP-Glc) through a mechanism involving the transient reduction of NAD. It is only active on UDP-galactose and UDP-glucose. (338 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
galK
Galactokinase; Catalyzes the transfer of the gamma-phosphate of ATP to D- galactose to form alpha-D-galactose-1-phosphate (Gal-1-P). To a lesser extent, is also able to phosphorylate 2-deoxy-D-galactose and D- galactosamine. Is not able to use D-galacturonic acid, D-talose, L- altrose, and L-glucose as substrates.
 
 
 0.999
galT
Galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase; Protein involved in cell surface antigen activity, host-interacting, galactose metabolic process, colanic acid biosynthetic process, carbohydrate catabolic process and response to desiccation; Belongs to the galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase type 1 family.
  
 0.999
galM
Aldose 1-epimerase; Mutarotase converts alpha-aldose to the beta-anomer. It is active on D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-xylose, D-galactose, maltose and lactose.
 
  
 0.998
galU
Glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase; May play a role in stationary phase survival; Belongs to the UDPGP type 2 family.
  
 0.994
wcaN
Putative regulatory subunit for GalU; Protein involved in nucleotide-sugar biosynthetic process.
  
 0.984
glf
UDP-galactopyranose mutase, FAD/NAD(P)-binding; Catalyzes the interconversion through a 2-keto intermediate of uridine diphosphogalactopyranose (UDP-GalP) into uridine diphosphogalactofuranose (UDP-GalF); Belongs to the UDP-galactopyranose/dTDP-fucopyranose mutase family.
    
 0.967
ugd
UDP-glucose 6-dehydrogenase; Protein involved in cell surface antigen activity, host-interacting, colanic acid biosynthetic process and response to desiccation.
  
 
 0.963
gmhB
D,D-heptose 1,7-bisphosphate phosphatase; Converts the D-glycero-beta-D-manno-heptose 1,7-bisphosphate (beta-HBP) intermediate into D-glycero-beta-D-manno-heptose 1-phosphate by removing the phosphate group at the C-7 position.
    
 0.910
lacZ
beta-D-galactosidase; Protein involved in carbohydrate catabolic process; Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 2 family.
  
  
 0.838
rfbC
dTDP-4-deoxyrhamnose-3,5-epimerase; Catalyzes the epimerization of the C3' and C5'positions of dTDP-6-deoxy-D-xylo-4-hexulose, forming dTDP-6-deoxy-L-lyxo-4-hexulose. Belongs to the dTDP-4-dehydrorhamnose 3,5-epimerase family.
