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

mepAConserved hypothetical protein; Multidrug resistance efflux protein involved in transporting several clinically relevant monovalent and divalent biocides and the fluoroquinolone antimicrobial agents norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin. Required for transcription of agr and RNAIII and involved in the production of protein A (spa) and toxins alpha, beta and delta. (451 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ABD29483.1
Conserved hypothetical protein.
 
  
 0.877
crtM
Squalene desaturase, putative; Involved in the biosynthesis of the yellow-orange carotenoid staphyloxanthin, which plays a role in the virulence via its protective function against oxidative stress. Catalyzes the head-to-head condensation of two molecules of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) into the colorless C(30) carotenoid 4,4'-diapophytoene (dehydrosqualene).
   
 
 0.732
norB
Conserved hypothetical protein; Multidrug efflux pump that acts independently of NorA and is one of the factors that confers resistance against diverse quinolones and chemical compounds. Extrudes norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, cetrimide, tetraphenylphosphonium ion (TPP), sparfloxacin, moxifloxacin and ethidium bromide. Contributes also to the efflux of tetracycline.

ABD29923.1
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, type I; Belongs to the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase family.

sepA
Conserved hypothetical protein; Involved in multidrug efflux; Belongs to the multidrug resistance efflux pump SepA family.
      
 0.572
ABD29485.1
Conserved hypothetical protein.

arlS
Conserved hypothetical protein; Member of the two-component regulatory system ArlS/ArlR involved in the regulation of adhesion, autolysis, multidrug resistance and virulence. ArlS probably functions as a sensor protein kinase which is autophosphorylated at a histidine residue and transfers its phosphate group to ArlR. ArlS/ArlR affects expression of the multidrug resistance transporter norA and interacts with both Agr (virulence accessory gene regulator) (negatively) and SarA (staphylococcal accessory regulator) (positively) to modulate several virulence factor genes, including ssp (se [...]

mgrA
Conserved hypothetical protein; Regulatory protein involved in autolytic activity, multidrug resistance and virulence. Controls autolysis by inactivating LytM, LytN (autolysins) and SarV (autolysis activator) and activating ArlRS, LrgAB and LytSR (autolysis inhibitors). Acts as a dual regulator for resistance to multiple drugs by inactivating NorB and tet38 and activating NorA. Positively controls the expression of virulence accessory gene regulator (agr) to promote alpha-hemolysin (hla) transcription and down-regulates staphylococcal accessory regulator (sarS), leading to repression o [...]
