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

papA3Probable conserved polyketide synthase associated protein PapA3; Involved in the biosynthesis of polyacyltrehalose (PAT) which could have a role in anchoring the bacterial capsule. In vitro catalyzes the sequential transfer of two palmitoyl groups onto a single glucose residue of trehalose generating the diacylated product 2,3- diacyltrehalose (trehalose dipalmitate). Although palmitoyl-CoA (PCoA) seems to be the physiological acyl donor, PapA3 can also use docosanoyl (22-carbon saturated fatty acid) coenzyme A as acyl donor. (472 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
pks4
Probable polyketide beta-ketoacyl synthase Pks4; Polyketide synthase involved in the biosynthesis of methyl- branched fatty acids such as mycolipanoic, mycolipenic (phthienoic) and mycolipodienoic acids required for the synthesis of a major class of polyacylated trehaloses. Catalyzes the elongation of CoA esters of long-chain fatty acids by incorporation of three methylmalonyl (but not malonyl) residues, to form trimethyl-branched fatty-acids.
