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

sdrCsdrC protein, putative; Cell surface-associated calcium-binding protein which plays an important role in adhesion and pathogenesis. Mediates interactions with components of the extracellular matrix such as host NRXN1 to promote bacterial adhesion. (995 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
fnbA
Fibronectin-binding protein precursor, putative; Possesses multiple, substituting fibronectin (Fn) binding regions, each capable of conferring adherence to both soluble and immobilized forms of Fn. This confers to S.aureus the ability to invade endothelial cells both in vivo and in vitro, without requiring additional factors, although in a slow and inefficient way through actin rearrangements in host cells. This invasion process is mediated by integrin alpha-5/beta-1. Promotes bacterial attachment to both soluble and immobilized forms of fibrinogen (Fg) by means of a unique binding sit [...]

ebpS
Elastin binding protein; Promotes binding of soluble elastin peptides and tropoelastin to S.aureus cells although it is not able to promote bacterial adherence to immobilized elastin and, therefore, is not a microbial surface component recognizing adhesive matrix molecule (MSCRAMM). May be involved in sensing the environment or in nutrient transport, since its loss caused a growth defect.

sraP
Conserved hypothetical protein; Mediates binding to human platelets, possibly through a receptor-ligand interaction. Probably associated with virulence in endovascular infection. Plays a positive role in biofilm formation, possibly by self-association via the non-repeat region (NRR or binding region, BR). Binds to and plays a role in human lung epithelial cell invasion via the L-lectin module of its NRR domain; N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) inhibits binding. Treatment of host cells with neuraminidase decreases adherence of S.aureus cells, suggesting SraP recognizes a host terminal N [...]

icaA
Intercellular adhesion protein A, putative; N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase that catalyzes the polymerization of single monomer units of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine to produce the linear homopolymer poly-beta-1,6-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (PNAG, also referred to as PIA), a biofilm adhesin polysaccharide. Requires IcaD for full activity (By similarity).

Hypothetical protein.

ebh
Conserved hypothetical protein; Promotes bacterial attachment to both soluble and immobilized forms of fibronectin (Fn), in a dose-dependent and saturable manner.

hysA
Hyaluronate lyase; Belongs to the polysaccharide lyase 8 family.
