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

lytMPeptidoglycan hydrolase, putative; Peptidoglycan hydrolase (autolysin) specifically acting on polyglycine interpeptide bridges of the cell wall peptidoglycan. Belongs to the peptidase M23B family. (316 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
sarT
Staphylococcal accessory regulator T, putative; Transcriptional regulator acting as an intermediary between major regulators sarA and agr and virulence genes. Represses alpha- hemolysin (hla) gene expression. Down-regulates agr RNAIII expression by repressing sarU, a positive activator of agr expression. Up- regulates sarS, which induces the expression of the cell wall- associated protein A (spa).

ABD31484.1
Conserved hypothetical protein.
  
     0.715
lytN
Cell wall hydrolase, putative; Probably involved in peptidoglycan hydrolysis.
   
 
 0.669
ssaA
LysM domain protein; Not known; immunogenic protein.
   
  
 0.655
atl
Bifunctional autolysin precursor, putative; Endohydrolysis of the di-N-acetylchitobiosyl unit in high- mannose glycopeptides and glycoproteins containing the -[(Man)5(GlcNAc)2]-Asn structure. One N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residue remains attached to the protein; the rest of the oligosaccharide is released intact. Cleaves the peptidoglycan connecting the daughter cells at the end of the cell division cycle, resulting in the separation of the two newly divided cells. Acts as an autolysin in penicillin-induced lysis (By similarity); In the C-terminal section; belongs to the glycosyl hydrolas [...]

sle1
Autolysin precursor, putative; Peptidoglycan hydrolase involved in the splitting of the septum during cell division. Binds to both alpha and beta-chains of human fibrinogen as well as fibronectin, which suggests a role in the colonization of host factor-coated material or host tissue. Also exhibits lytic activity against S.carnosus and S.aureus cells but not against M.luteus cells.
   
 
 0.627
mgt
Transglycosylase domain protein; Peptidoglycan polymerase that catalyzes glycan chain elongation using lipid-linked disaccharide-pentapeptide as the substrate.
  
    0.622
isaA
Immunodominant antigen A, putative; Is able to cleave peptidoglycan. Belongs to the transglycosylase family. IsaA subfamily.
   
  
 0.587
lytH
Conserved hypothetical protein; Probably involved in cell-wall metabolism (By similarity). May have autolysin activity. Belongs to the N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase 3 family.
  
   
 0.574
walR
Two-component response regulator, putative; Member of the two-component regulatory system WalK/WalR that regulates genes involved in cell wall metabolism, virulence regulation, biofilm production, oxidative stress resistance and antibiotic resistance via direct or indirect regulation of autolysins. Functions as a transcription regulator by direct binding to promoter regions. Positively controls the cell wall-hydrolytic activity through regulation of atlA and lytM, as well as induces transcription of isaA, sceD, ssaA, and four ssaA- related genes. Binds directly to the lytM, ssaA and is [...]
