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

murCUDP-N-acetylmuramate:L-alanine ligase; Cell wall formation; Belongs to the MurCDEF family. (491 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
murE
UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamate:meso- diaminopimelate ligase; Catalyzes the addition of meso-diaminopimelic acid to the nucleotide precursor UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamate (UMAG) in the biosynthesis of bacterial cell-wall peptidoglycan. Is also able to use many meso-diaminopimelate analogs as substrates, although much less efficiently, but not L-lysine.
  
 0.999
murD
UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine:D-glutamate ligase; Cell wall formation. Catalyzes the addition of glutamate to the nucleotide precursor UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine (UMA).
 
0.999
murG
N-acetylglucosaminyl transferase; Cell wall formation. Catalyzes the transfer of a GlcNAc subunit on undecaprenyl-pyrophosphoryl-MurNAc-pentapeptide (lipid intermediate I) to form undecaprenyl-pyrophosphoryl-MurNAc- (pentapeptide)GlcNAc (lipid intermediate II).
  
 0.999
ddlB
D-alanine:D-alanine ligase; Cell wall formation; Belongs to the D-alanine--D-alanine ligase family.
  
 0.999
murB
UDP-N-acetylenolpyruvoylglucosamine reductase, FAD-binding; Cell wall formation; Belongs to the MurB family.
 
 0.999
murF
UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-tripeptide:D-alanyl-D- alanine ligase; Involved in cell wall formation. Catalyzes the final step in the synthesis of UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-pentapeptide, the precursor of murein.
 
  
 0.998
ftsW
Putative lipid II flippase; Peptidoglycan polymerase that is essential for cell division (Probable). Functions probably in conjunction with the penicillin- binding protein 3 (ftsI). Required for localization of FtsI.
 
  
 0.997
mraY
phospho-N-acetylmuramoyl-pentapeptide transferase; First step of the lipid cycle reactions in the biosynthesis of the cell wall peptidoglycan.
 
  
 0.996
ftsQ
Divisome assembly protein, membrane anchored protein involved in growth of wall at septum; Essential cell division protein. May link together the upstream cell division proteins, which are predominantly cytoplasmic, with the downstream cell division proteins, which are predominantly periplasmic. May control correct divisome assembly. Belongs to the FtsQ/DivIB family. FtsQ subfamily.
 
  
 0.993
ddlA
D-alanine-D-alanine ligase A; Cell wall formation.
  
 0.993
