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

pbpCPenicillin-insensitive murein repair transglycosylase; Cell wall formation. The enzyme has a penicillin-insensitive transglycosylase N-terminal domain (formation of linear glycan strands) and a transpeptidase C-terminal domain which may not be functional. (770 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
yfhM
Bacterial alpha2-macroglobulin colonization factor ECAM; Protects the bacterial cell from host peptidases. Acts by a 'trapping' mechanism. Cleavage of the bait-region domain by host peptidases leads to a global conformational change, which results in entrapment of the host peptidase and activation of the thioester bond that covalently binds the attacking host peptidase. Trapped peptidases are still active except against very large substrates. May protect the entire periplam, including the lipoproteins anchored to the periplasmic side of the outer membrane, against intruding endopeptidases.

mrdA
Penicillin-binding protein 2, transpeptidase involved in peptidoglycan synthesis; Catalyzes cross-linking of the peptidoglycan cell wall. Responsible for the determination of the rod shape of the cell. Is probably required for lateral peptidoglycan synthesis and maintenance of the correct diameter during lateral and centripetal growth. Belongs to the transpeptidase family. MrdA subfamily.
  
 
 0.950
mrcA
Penicillin-binding protein 1a, murein transglycosylase and transpeptidase; Cell wall formation. Synthesis of cross-linked peptidoglycan from the lipid intermediates. The enzyme has a penicillin-insensitive transglycosylase N-terminal domain (formation of linear glycan strands) and a penicillin-sensitive transpeptidase C-terminal domain (cross- linking of the peptide subunits); In the N-terminal section; belongs to the glycosyltransferase 51 family.
  
 
0.949
mrcB
Fused glycosyl transferase and transpeptidase; Cell wall formation. Synthesis of cross-linked peptidoglycan from the lipid intermediates. The enzyme has a penicillin-insensitive transglycosylase N-terminal domain (formation of linear glycan strands) and a penicillin-sensitive transpeptidase C-terminal domain (cross- linking of the peptide subunits); In the N-terminal section; belongs to the glycosyltransferase 51 family.
  
  
0.942
ftsI
Transpeptidase involved in septal peptidoglycan synthesis; Essential cell division protein that catalyzes cross-linking of the peptidoglycan cell wall at the division septum. Required for localization of FtsN. Belongs to the transpeptidase family. FtsI subfamily.
     
 0.903
dacD
D-alanyl-D-alanine carboxypeptidase; Removes C-terminal D-alanyl residues from sugar-peptide cell wall precursors; Belongs to the peptidase S11 family.
     
 0.897
dacB
D-alanyl-D-alanine carboxypeptidase; Not involved in transpeptidation but exclusively catalyzes a DD-carboxypeptidase and DD-endopeptidase reaction. Belongs to the peptidase S13 family.
   
 
 0.893
dacA
D-alanyl-D-alanine carboxypeptidase (penicillin-binding protein 5); Removes C-terminal D-alanyl residues from sugar-peptide cell wall precursors.
     
 0.859
dacC
D-alanyl-D-alanine carboxypeptidase; Removes C-terminal D-alanyl residues from sugar-peptide cell wall precursors.
