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

lapAHypothetical protein; Involved in the assembly of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Belongs to the LapA family. (93 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
lapB
Lipopolysaccharide assembly protein LapB; Modulates cellular lipopolysaccharide (LPS) levels by regulating LpxC, which is involved in lipid A biosynthesis. May act by modulating the proteolytic activity of FtsH towards LpxC. May also coordinate assembly of proteins involved in LPS synthesis at the plasma membrane; Belongs to the LapB family.

VM_05610
Hypothetical protein; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology; Belongs to the UPF0227 family.
  
     0.765
crl
Sigma factor-binding protein Crl; Binds to the sigma-S subunit of RNA polymerase, activating expression of sigma-S-regulated genes. Stimulates RNA polymerase holoenzyme formation and may bind to several other sigma factors, such as sigma-70 and sigma-32; Belongs to the Crl family.

VM_06300
Hypothetical protein; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology.

VM_03215
SMP protein; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology.
  
     0.756
zapB
Septal ring assembly protein ZapB; Non-essential, abundant cell division factor that is required for proper Z-ring formation. It is recruited early to the divisome by direct interaction with FtsZ, stimulating Z-ring assembly and thereby promoting cell division earlier in the cell cycle. Its recruitment to the Z-ring requires functional FtsA or ZipA.
  
     0.753
zapC
Cell division protein ZapC; Contributes to the efficiency of the cell division process by stabilizing the polymeric form of the cell division protein FtsZ. Acts by promoting interactions between FtsZ protofilaments and suppressing the GTPase activity of FtsZ.
