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

kdsC3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate 8-phosphate phosphatase; Catalyzes the hydrolysis of 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate 8- phosphate (KDO 8-P) to 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate (KDO) and inorganic phosphate. (188 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
kdsB
3-deoxy-manno-octulosonate cytidylyltransferase; Activates KDO (a required 8-carbon sugar) for incorporation into bacterial lipopolysaccharide in Gram-negative bacteria.
 
 0.999
kdsD
D-arabinose 5-phosphate isomerase; Involved in the biosynthesis of 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate (KDO), a unique 8-carbon sugar component of lipopolysaccharides (LPSs). KdsD is not essential in the KDO biosynthesis and can be substituted by GutQ. Catalyzes the reversible aldol-ketol isomerization between D- ribulose 5-phosphate (Ru5P) and D-arabinose 5-phosphate (A5P).
  
 0.999
kdsA
3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate 8-phosphate synthase; Synthesis of KDO 8-P which is required for lipid A maturation and cellular growth.
 
 0.998
yrbG
Putative calcium/sodium:proton antiporter; Protein involved in calcium:sodium antiporter activity.
 
  
 0.980
lptC
Periplasmic membrane-anchored LPS-binding protein; Involved in the assembly of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Required for the translocation of LPS from the inner membrane to the outer membrane. Facilitates the transfer of LPS from the inner membrane to the periplasmic protein LptA. Could be a docking site for LptA. Belongs to the LptC family.
  
  
 0.971
lptB
Lipopolysaccharide export ABC transporter ATPase; Part of the ABC transporter complex LptBFG involved in the translocation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from the inner membrane to the outer membrane. Probably responsible for energy coupling to the transport system.
 
  
 0.960
srlQ
D-arabinose 5-phosphate isomerase; Catalyzes the reversible aldol-ketol isomerization between D- ribulose 5-phosphate (Ru5P) and D-arabinose 5-phosphate (A5P). It appears that the physiological function of G-API may be to synthesize the regulatory molecule A5P, which in turn participates in the induction of the gut operon through an unknown mechanism. It is also able of sustaining the biosynthetic pathway of 3-deoxy-D-manno- octulosonate (KDO), a unique 8-carbon sugar component of lipopolysaccharides (LPSs); Belongs to the SIS family. GutQ/KpsF subfamily.
  
 0.945
lptA
Lipopolysaccharide export ABC transporter periplasmic binding protein; Involved in the assembly of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Required for the translocation of LPS from the inner membrane to the outer membrane. May form a bridge between the inner membrane and the outer membrane, via interactions with LptC and LptD, thereby facilitating LPS transfer across the periplasm.
 
  
 0.930
lpxK
Lipid A 4'kinase; Transfers the gamma-phosphate of ATP to the 4'-position of a tetraacyldisaccharide 1-phosphate intermediate (termed DS-1-P) to form tetraacyldisaccharide 1,4'-bis-phosphate (lipid IVA).
 
   
 0.812
waaA
3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic-acid transferase (KDO transferase); Involved in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) biosynthesis. Catalyzes the transfer of two 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate (Kdo) residues from CMP-Kdo to lipid IV(A), the tetraacyldisaccharide-1,4'-bisphosphate precursor of lipid A; Belongs to the glycosyltransferase group 1 family. Glycosyltransferase 30 subfamily.
