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

mmpL8Conserved integral membrane transport protein MmpL8; Required for the biosynthesis and the transport across the inner membrane of sulfolipid-1 (SL-1), which is a major cell wall lipid of pathogenic mycobacteria. Could also transport SL1278 (2-palmitoyl-3- (C43)-phthioceranyl-alpha, alpha'-D-trehalose-2'-sulfate), which is the precursor of SL-1. Required for virulence. (1089 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
papA1
Conserved polyketide synthase associated protein PapA1; Catalyzes the acylation of trehalose-2-sulfate-2'-palmitate (SL659) by adding the (hydroxy)phthioceranoyl group at the 3'-position to yield the diacylated intermediate 2-palmitoyl-3-(C43)-phthioceranyl- alpha, alpha'-D-trehalose-2'-sulfate (SL1278) during the cell wall sulfolipid-1 (SL-1) biosynthesis; Belongs to the PapA acyltransferase family.
 
 
 0.994
pks2
Polyketide synthase Pks2; Catalyzes the synthesis of the hepta- and octamethyl phthioceranic acids and/or hydroxyphthioceranic acids that are the major acyl constituents of sulfolipids.
  
 
 0.969
papA3
Probable 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.
 
 
 0.881
mmpL10
Probable conserved transmembrane transport protein MmpL10; Required for the biosynthesis of polyacyltrehalose (PAT) and the transport of diacyltrehalose (DAT) and possibly PAT to the cell surface.
  
  
0.813
papA2
Possible conserved polyketide synthase associated protein PapA2; Catalyzes the acylation of trehalose-2-sulfate by adding the palmitoyl group at the 2'-position to yield the intermediate trehalose- 2-sulfate-2'-palmitate (SL659) during the cell wall sulfolipid-1 (SL-1) biosynthesis; Belongs to the PapA acyltransferase family.
 
 
 
 0.813
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.
  
 
 0.750
fadD23
Probable fatty-acid-AMP ligase FadD23 (fatty-acid-AMP synthetase) (fatty-acid-AMP synthase); Catalyzes the activation of long-chain fatty acids as acyl- coenzyme A (acyl-CoA), which are then transferred to the multifunctional polyketide synthase (PKS) type III for further chain extension (Probable). Involved in the biosynthesis of sulfolipid 1 (SL- 1); Belongs to the ATP-dependent AMP-binding enzyme family.
  
 
 0.665
stf0
Conserved protein; Catalyzes the sulfuryl group transfer from 3'- phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS) to trehalose, leading to trehalose-2-sulfate (T2S). The sulfation of trehalose is the first step in the biosynthesis of sulfolipid-1 (SL-1), a major cell wall glycolipid and the most abundant sulfated metabolite found in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, that is a potential virulence factor thought to mediate host-pathogen interactions.

Rv1598c
Conserved protein; Rv1598c, (MTCY336.06), len: 136 aa. Conserved protein, some similarity to O06389|Rv0523c|MTCY25D10.02 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (131 aa), FASTA scores: E(): 2.2e-09, (38.4% identity in 99 aa overlap); and P95144|MTCY359.02|Rv1871c (129 aa).

mmpL13a
Rv1145, (MTCI65.12), len: 303 aa. Probable mmpL13a,conserved transmembrane transport protein (see citation below), member of RND superfamily, showing some similarity to putative Mycobacterial and Streptomyces membrane proteins e.g. MTCY987|g1781238 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (962 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 213, E(): 1.9e-06, (28.0% identity in 296 aa overlap); etc. Strong similarity to U92075|MMU92075_5 hypothetical protein from Mycobacterium marinum (256 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 957,E(): 0, (57.6% identity in 257 aa overlap). Should continue as mmpL13B|Rv1146, but frameshift required [...]
