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

wzzBRegulator of length of O-antigen component of lipopolysaccharide chains; Confers a modal distribution of chain length on the O-antigen component of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Gives rise to a reduced number of short chain molecules and increases in numbers of longer molecules; Belongs to the WzzB/Cld/Rol family. (326 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
wzxB
Putative polisoprenol-linked O-antigen transporter; May be involved in the translocation process of the nascent O-polysaccharide molecules and/or its ligation to lipid A core units.
  
  
 0.898
wzxC
Putative colanic acid exporter; Probable export protein; Belongs to the polysaccharide synthase family.
     
 0.883
wzxE
O-antigen translocase; Mediates the transbilayer movement of Und-PP-GlcNAc-ManNAcA- Fuc4NAc (lipid III) from the inner to the outer leaflet of the cytoplasmic membrane during the assembly of enterobacterial common antigen (ECA). Required for the assembly of the phosphoglyceride-linked form of ECA (ECA(PG)) and the water-soluble cyclic form of ECA (ECA(CYC)). Could also mediate the translocation of Und-PP-GlcNAc.
     
 0.881
wzyE
Putative ECA polysaccharide chain elongation protein; Probably involved in the polymerization of enterobacterial common antigen (ECA) trisaccharide repeat units. Required for the assembly of the phosphoglyceride-linked form of ECA (ECA(PG)) and the water-soluble cyclic form of ECA (ECA(CYC)). Belongs to the WzyE family.
     
 0.875
ugd
UDP-glucose 6-dehydrogenase; Protein involved in cell surface antigen activity, host-interacting, colanic acid biosynthetic process and response to desiccation.
  
  
 0.860
waaL
O-antigen ligase; Adds the O-antigen on the glucose group of LPS.
     
 0.806
wecA
UDP-GlcNAc:undecaprenylphosphate GlcNAc-1-phosphate transferase; Catalyzes the transfer of the GlcNAc-1-phosphate moiety from UDP-GlcNAc onto the carrier lipid undecaprenyl phosphate (C55-P), yielding GlcNAc-pyrophosphoryl-undecaprenyl (GlcNAc-PP-C55). It is the first lipid-linked intermediate involved in enterobacterial common antigen (ECA) synthesis, and an acceptor for the addition of subsequent sugars to complete the biosynthesis of O-antigen lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in many E.coli O types. The apparent affinity of WecA for the polyisoprenyl phosphate substrates increases with the [...]
  
  
 0.804
wcaN
Putative regulatory subunit for GalU; Protein involved in nucleotide-sugar biosynthetic process.
   
  
 0.797
wbbH
O-antigen polymerase; May link the O-antigen tetrasaccharide units into long chains, giving rise to typical smooth LPS.
      
 0.754
gnd
6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, decarboxylating; Catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of 6-phosphogluconate to ribulose 5-phosphate and CO(2), with concomitant reduction of NADP to NADPH.
  
  
 0.739
