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

mepSPeptidoglycan dd-endopeptidase/peptidoglycan ld-carboxypeptidase; A murein DD-endopeptidase with specificity for D-Ala-meso- diaminopimelic acid (mDAP) cross-links. Its role is probably to cleave D-Ala-mDAP cross-links to allow insertion of new glycans and thus cell wall expansion. Functionally redundant with MepM and MepH. Also has weak LD-carboxypeptidase activity on L-mDAP-D-Ala peptide bonds. Partially suppresses a prc disruption mutant (188 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
mpaA
Murein tripeptide amidase a; Involved in muropeptide degradation. Catalyzes the hydrolysis of the gamma-D-glutamyl-diaminopimelic acid (gamma-D-Glu-Dap) amide bond in the murein tripeptide L-alanyl-gamma-D-glutamyl-meso- diaminopimelic acid, leading to the formation of L-Ala-gamma-D-Glu and Dap . Has weak activity with L-Ala- gamma-D-Glu-L-Lys, MurNAc-tripeptide and gamma-D-Glu-meso-Dap . Cannot hydrolyze murein tetrapeptide

ampD
1,6-anhydro-N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanine amidase, Zn-dependent; Involved in cell wall peptidoglycan recycling . Specifically cleaves the amide bond between the lactyl group of N-acetylmuramic acid and the alpha-amino group of the L-alanine in degradation products containing an anhydro N-acetylmuramyl moiety . Is also involved in beta-lactamase induction
    
 0.904
amiD
1,6-anhydro-N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanine amidase, Zn-dependent; N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase AmiD; Putative regulator; Not classified
    
 0.904
mpl
UDP-N-acetylmuramate--L-alanyl-gamma-D-glutamyl-meso-2,6-diaminoheptanedioate ligase; Reutilizes the intact tripeptide L-alanyl-gamma-D-glutamyl- meso-diaminopimelate by linking it to UDP-N-acetylmuramate. The enzyme can also use the tetrapeptide L-alanyl-gamma-D-glutamyl-meso-2,6- diaminoheptanedioyl-D-alanine or the pentapeptide L-alanyl-gamma-D- glutamyl-meso-2,6-diaminoheptandioyl-D-alanyl-D-alanine in vivo and in vitro

nlpI
Lipoprotein involved in osmotic sensitivity and filamentation; May be involved in cell division. May play a role in bacterial septation or regulation of cell wall degradation during cell division. Negatively controls the production of extracellular DNA (eDNA)
      
 0.881
mepM
Murein dd-endopeptidase, space-maker hydrolase, septation protein; A murein DD-endopeptidase with specificity for D-Ala-meso- diaminopimelic acid (mDAP) cross-links. Its role is probably to cleave D-Ala-mDAP cross-links to allow insertion of new glycans and thus cell wall expansion. Functionally redundant with MepM and MepH. Partially suppresses an mepS disruption mutant
 
 
 0.867
prc
Carboxy-terminal protease for penicillin-binding protein 3; Involved in the cleavage of a C-terminal peptide of 11 residues from the precursor form of penicillin-binding protein 3 (PBP3). May be involved in protection of the bacterium from thermal and osmotic stresses
   
  
 0.831
mltD
Putative membrane-bound lytic murein transglycosylase d; Murein-degrading enzyme. May play a role in recycling of muropeptides during cell elongation and/or cell division (By similarity)
  
 
 0.750
lpoB
Outer membrane lipoprotein - activator of mrcb activity; Regulator of peptidoglycan synthesis that is essential for the function of penicillin-binding protein 1B (PBP1b). Stimulates transpeptidase and transglycosylase activities of PBP1b in vitro. May also contribute to outer membrane constriction during cell division, in complex with PBP1b
