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

mbtKLysine N-acetyltransferase MbtK; Acyltransferase required for the direct transfer of medium- to long-chain fatty acyl moieties from a carrier protein (MbtL) on to the epsilon-amino group of lysine residue in the mycobactin core. (210 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
mbtG
Lysine-N-oxygenase MbtG (L-lysine 6-monooxygenase) (lysine N6-hydroxylase); Flavoprotein monooxygenase required for N-hydroxylation of the two acylated lysine residues during mycobactin assembly, thus producing the hydroxamate groups necessary for iron sequestration. Is also able, but less efficiently, to hydroxylate L-lysine (non acylated) in vitro.

mbtA
Bifunctional enzyme MbtA: salicyl-AMP ligase (SAL-AMP ligase) + salicyl-S-ArCP synthetase; Involved in the initial steps of the mycobactin biosynthetic pathway. Catalyzes the salicylation of the aryl carrier protein (ArCP) domain of MbtB through a two-step reaction. The first step is the ATP- dependent adenylation of salicylate to generate a salicyl-AMP intermediate. The second step is the transfer of this activated salicylate to MbtB to form a salicyl-ArCP domain thioester.

irtA
Iron-regulated transporter IrtA; Part of the ABC transporter complex IrtAB involved in iron import. Transmembrane domains (TMD) form a pore in the membrane and the ATP-binding domain (NBD) is responsible for energy generation. Required for replication in human macrophages and in mouse lungs.

irtB
Iron-regulated transporter IrtB; Part of the ABC transporter complex IrtAB involved in iron import. Transmembrane domains (TMD) form a pore in the membrane and the ATP-binding domain (NBD) is responsible for energy generation. Required for replication in human macrophages and in mouse lungs. Belongs to the ABC transporter superfamily. Siderophore- Fe(3+) uptake transporter (SIUT) (TC 3.A.1.21) family.
 
  
 0.809
mbtN
Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase MbtN; Catalyzes the dehydrogenation at the alpha-beta position of ACP-bound acyl chains. This results in the introduction of a double bond in the lipidic chain, which is further transferred to the epsilon- amino group of lysine residue in the mycobactin core by MbtK. Belongs to the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family.
