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

damXCell division protein that binds to the septal ring; Non-essential cell division protein. Belongs to the DamX family. (428 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ftsN
Essential cell division protein; Essential cell division protein that activates septal peptidoglycan synthesis and constriction of the cell. Acts on both sides of the membrane, via interaction with FtsA in the cytoplasm and interaction with the FtsQBL complex in the periplasm. These interactions may induce a conformational switch in both FtsA and FtsQBL, leading to septal peptidoglycan synthesis by FtsI and associated synthases (Probable). Required for full FtsI activity. Required for recruitment of AmiC to the septal ring. Belongs to the FtsN family.
  
 
 0.951
dedD
Membrane-anchored periplasmic protein involved in septation; Non-essential cell division protein that could be required for efficient cell constriction; Belongs to the DedD family.
  
   
 0.933
rlpA
Septal ring protein, suppressor of prc, minor lipoprotein; Lytic transglycosylase with a strong preference for naked glycan strands that lack stem peptides; Belongs to the RlpA family.
   
  
 0.904
aroB
3-dehydroquinate synthase; Catalyzes the conversion of 3-deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate (DAHP) to dehydroquinate (DHQ).
  
  
 0.893
zipA
FtsZ stabilizer; Essential cell division protein that stabilizes the FtsZ protofilaments by cross-linking them and that serves as a cytoplasmic membrane anchor for the Z ring. Also required for the recruitment to the septal ring of the downstream cell division proteins FtsK, FtsQ, FtsL and FtsN. ZipA overproduction protects FtsZ from degradation by ClpP by preventing recognition by ClpX. Does not affect the GTPase activity of FtsZ.
  
  
 0.856
gmk
Guanylate kinase; Essential for recycling GMP and indirectly, cGMP. Belongs to the guanylate kinase family.
   
  
 0.840
dam
DNA adenine methyltransferase; Methylates DNA within the sequence GATC and protects the DNA from cleavage by the restriction endonuclease MboI. Although it shares sequence specificity with a number of type II restriction endonucleases and methylases, it is thought to act in postreplication mismatch repair rather than as a part of a restriction modification system. May also play a role in DNA replication.
  
  
 0.778
ftsQ
Divisome assembly protein, membrane anchored protein involved in growth of wall at septum; Essential cell division protein. May link together the upstream cell division proteins, which are predominantly cytoplasmic, with the downstream cell division proteins, which are predominantly periplasmic. May control correct divisome assembly. Belongs to the FtsQ/DivIB family. FtsQ subfamily.
  
 
 0.757
bamA
BamABCDE complex OM biogenesis outer membrane pore-forming assembly factor; Part of the outer membrane protein assembly complex (Bam), which is involved in assembly and insertion of beta-barrel proteins into the outer membrane. Constitutes, with BamD, the core component of the assembly machinery. Efficient substrate folding and insertion into the outer membrane requires all 5 subunits. A lateral gate may open between the first and last strands of the BamA beta-barrel that allows substrate to insert into the outer membrane; comparison of the structures of complete and nearly complete Ba [...]
   
 
 0.750
aroK
Shikimate kinase I; Catalyzes the specific phosphorylation of the 3-hydroxyl group of shikimic acid using ATP as a cosubstrate. Belongs to the shikimate kinase family.
