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.

nikAConserved hypothetical protein; Part of the ABC transporter complex NikABCDE (Opp2) involved in nickel import. Binds nickel and transfers it to the membrane-bound permease. Required for full urease activity and plays a significant role in the virulence of S.aureus during urinary tract infection (UTI). May bind nickel via a nickel-chelator. (470 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
nikB
Oligopeptide transporter putative membrane permease domain; Part of the ABC transporter complex NikABCDE (Opp2) involved in nickel import. Probably responsible for the translocation of the substrate across the membrane. Required for full urease activity and plays a significant role in the virulence of S.aureus during urinary tract infection (UTI).

nikC
Oligopeptide transporter putative membrane permease domain; Part of the ABC transporter complex NikABCDE (Opp2) involved in nickel import. Probably responsible for the translocation of the substrate across the membrane. Required for full urease activity and plays a significant role in the virulence of S.aureus during urinary tract infection (UTI).

cntB
Peptide ABC transporter, permease protein, putative; Part of the ABC transporter complex CntABCDF (Opp1) involved in the uptake of metal in complex with the metallophore staphylopine (StP). Involved in the import of divalent metals ions such as nickel, cobalt and zinc. Probably responsible for the translocation of the substrate across the membrane. Plays a major role in nickel/cobalt import in zinc-depleted conditions. Contributes to virulence. Required for full urease activity in vitro ; Belongs to the binding-protein-dependent transport system permease family.
