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

Score
ripAPeptidoglycan hydrolase; Peptidoglycan endopeptidase that cleaves the bond between D- glutamate and meso-diaminopimelate. Binds and degrades high-molecular weight peptidoglycan from a number of Actinobacteria; activity is increased in the presence of RpfB and inhibited by PBP1A (ponA1). Required for normal separation of daughter cells after cell division and for cell wall integrity. Required for host cell invasion and intracellular survival in host macrophages. Belongs to the peptidase C40 family. (472 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ripB
Possible invasion protein; Peptidoglycan endopeptidase that cleaves the bond between D- glutamate and meso-diaminopimelate. Binds high-molecular weight peptidoglycan, but does not degrade it. Required for normal separation of daughter cells after cell division and cell wall integrity. Required for host cell invasion.

rpfB
Probable resuscitation-promoting factor RpfB; Factor that stimulates resuscitation of dormant cells. Has peptidoglycan (PG) hydrolytic activity. Active in the pM concentration range. Has little to no effect on actively-growing cells. PG fragments could either directly activate the resuscitation pathway of dormant bacteria or serve as a substrate for endogenous Rpf, resulting in low molecular weight products with resuscitation activity; Belongs to the transglycosylase family. Rpf subfamily.

rpfE
Probable resuscitation-promoting factor RpfE; Factor that stimulates resuscitation of dormant cells. Has peptidoglycan (PG) hydrolytic activity. Active in the pM concentration range. Has little to no effect on actively-growing cells. PG fragments could either directly activate the resuscitation pathway of dormant bacteria or serve as a substrate for endogenous Rpf, resulting in low molecular weight products with resuscitation activity. Belongs to the transglycosylase family. Rpf subfamily.

Rv3717
Conserved hypothetical protein; Cell-wall hydrolase that hydrolyzes the amide bond between N- acetylmuramic acid and L-alanine in cell-wall glycopeptides. Is able to hydrolyze the cell walls of several bacterial species (i.e. Paenibacillus sp., B.avium, E.coli DH5alpha, E.aerogenes, L.acidophilus, B.thuringiensis, B.pumilus, B.subtilis and E.coli W3110), thereby showing that it is a cell-wall hydrolase with broad-spectrum activity. May have a role in peptidoglycan fragment recycling. Belongs to the N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase 3 family.

cwlM
Probable peptidoglycan hydrolase; Cell-wall hydrolase that hydrolyzes the amide bond between N- acetylmuramic acid and L-alanine in cell-wall glycopeptides. Is able to lyse whole mycobacteria, release peptidoglycan from the cell wall of M.luteus and M.smegmatis, and cleave N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D- isoglutamine, releasing free N-acetylmuramic acid and dipeptide.

Rv1566c
Possible Inv protein; Rv1566c, (MTCY336.37), len: 230 aa. Possible inv protein, probably exported as has QQAPV repeats at C-terminus. Similar to Q49634 inv protein from Mycobacterium leprae (246 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 957, E(): 0, (70.0% identity in 207 aa overlap); also to putative invasins 1,2 (O07390, O07391) from Mycobacterium avium. Slightly similar to C-terminus of P60_LISMO|P21171 Listeria invasion-associated protein p60 precursor. Also similar to Mycobacterium tuberculosis p60 homologues Rv1477, Rv1478,Rv0024, Rv2190c. Predicted to be an outer membrane protein (See Song et al. [...]

chiZ
Possible conserved membrane protein; Cell wall hydrolase that modulates cell division process. Probably acts by modulating FtsZ ring assembly. Murein hydrolase activity is targeted to sites of nascent peptidoglycan (PG) synthesis. Overproduction compromises midcell localization of FtsZ rings, but has no effect on the intracellular levels of FtsZ.

pirG
Exported repetitive protein precursor PirG (cell surface protein) (EXP53); Surface-exposed protein required for multiplication and intracellular growth; To M.leprae 28 kDa antigen.

ftsW
FtsW-like protein FtsW; Peptidoglycan polymerase that is essential for cell division. Belongs to the SEDS family. FtsW subfamily.

moxR1
Rv1479, (MTV007.26), len: 377 aa. Probable moxR1,transcriptional regulatory protein, similar to X96434|BBGIDBMOX_2 moxR regulator from Borrelia burgdorferi (329 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 850, E():0, (43.5% identity in 317 aa overlap); and P. denitrificans. Highly similar to MoxR homologs of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium (but these both differ at C-terminus) e.g. Rv3692, Rv3164c, and AF0021|AF002133_6 Mycobacterium avium strain GIR10 (309 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1181, E(): 0, (83.7% identity in 227 aa overlap). Also similar to O33173|AF006054 MoxR fragment from Mycoba [...]
