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

lpxTLipid A 1-diphosphate synthase; Involved in the modification of the lipid A domain of lipopolysaccharides (LPS). Transfers a phosphate group from undecaprenyl pyrophosphate (C55-PP) to lipid A to form lipid A 1- diphosphate. Contributes to the recycling of undecaprenyl phosphate (C55-P). In vitro, has low undecaprenyl-diphosphate phosphatase activity ; Belongs to the LpxT phosphotransferase family. (237 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
eptA
Lipid A phosphoethanolamine transferase; Catalyzes the addition of a phosphoethanolamine moiety to the lipid A. The phosphoethanolamine modification is required for resistance to polymyxin; Belongs to the phosphoethanolamine transferase family. EptA subfamily.
     
 0.987
arnT
4-amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinose transferase; Catalyzes the transfer of the L-Ara4N moiety of the glycolipid undecaprenyl phosphate-alpha-L-Ara4N to lipid A. The modified arabinose is attached to lipid A and is required for resistance to polymyxin and cationic antimicrobial peptides.
 
  
 0.982
pagP
Phospholipid:lipid A palmitoyltransferase; Transfers a palmitate residue from the sn-1 position of a phospholipid to the N-linked hydroxymyristate on the proximal unit of lipid A or its precursors. Phosphatidylglycerol (PtdGro), phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn), phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) and phosphatidic acid (Ptd-OH) are all effective acyl donors.
     
 0.979
pmrR
Putative membrane-bound BasS regulator; May bind to BasS and modulate its sensor kinase activity.
     
 0.979
eptB
KDO phosphoethanolamine transferase, Ca(2+)-inducible; Catalyzes the addition of a phosphoethanolamine (pEtN) moiety to the outer 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid (Kdo) residue of a Kdo(2)-lipid A. Phosphatidylethanolamines with one unsaturated acyl group functions as pEtN donors and the reaction releases diacylglycerol; Belongs to the phosphoethanolamine transferase family. EptB subfamily.
  
  
 0.975
lpxM
Myristoyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP)-dependent acyltransferase; Catalyzes the transfer of myristate from myristoyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) to Kdo(2)-(lauroyl)-lipid IV(A) to form Kdo(2)- lipid A. Can probably also catalyze the transfer of myristate to Kdo(2)-(palmitoleoyl)-lipid IV(A) to form the cold-adapted Kdo(2)-lipid A. In vitro, can acylate Kdo(2)-lipid IV(A), but acylation of (KDO)2- (lauroyl)-lipid IV(A) is about 100 times faster. In vitro, can use lauroyl-ACP but displays a slight kinetic preference for myristoyl-ACP.
    
 0.951
ybjG
Undecaprenyl pyrophosphate phosphatase; Overexpression leads to increased undecaprenyl diphosphatase activity and to increased resistance to bacitracin. May have a preferred substrate other than undecaprenyl diphosphate in vivo.
  
  
 0.945
pgpB
Phosphatidylglycerophosphatase B; Catalyzes the dephosphorylation of diacylglycerol diphosphate (DGPP) to phosphatidate (PA) and the subsequent dephosphorylation of PA to diacylglycerol (DAG). Also has undecaprenyl pyrophosphate phosphatase activity, required for the biosynthesis of the lipid carrier undecaprenyl phosphate. Can also use lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and phosphatidylglycerophosphate as substrates. The pattern of activities varies according to subcellular location, PGP phosphatase activity is higher in the cytoplasmic membrane, whereas PA and LPA phosphatase activities are [...]

bacA
Undecaprenyl pyrophosphate phosphatase; Catalyzes the dephosphorylation of undecaprenyl diphosphate (UPP). Confers resistance to bacitracin; Belongs to the UppP family.
  
  
 0.896
pmrD
Inactive two-component system connector protein; Interacts with phosphorylated BasR protein to mediate transcriptional induction of BasR-activated genes to induce polymyxin resistance in some natural isolates; Belongs to the PmrD family.
