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.

graXConserved hypothetical protein; Plays a role in resistance against cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs). Facilitates the activation of GraS to transduce the signal to GraR. (307 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
graS
Conserved hypothetical protein; Member of the two-component regulatory system GraR/GraS involved in resistance against cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs). Functions as a sensor protein kinase which phosphorylates GraR through the auxiliary protein GraX. In turn, GraR up-regulates many genes such as adhesins, exoproteins, transporters, toxins, and proteins involved in cell wall synthesis. Down-regulates the expression of many genes involved in RNA and amino acid synthesis or glycolysis. Confers resistance to vancomycin, polymyxin B, lysozyme and LL-37.
     
 0.897
graR
Conserved hypothetical protein; Member of the two-component regulatory system GraR/GraS involved in resistance against cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs). Upon phosphorylation by GraS, functions as a transcription regulator by direct binding to promoter regions of target genes such as adhesins, exoproteins, transporters, toxins, and proteins involved in cell wall synthesis. Down-regulates the expression of many genes involved in RNA and amino acid synthesis or glycolysis.

femB
Methicillin resistance factor, putative; Catalyzes the formation of the pentaglycine interpeptide bridge, which is characteristic of the S.aureus peptidoglycan. Adds glycines 4 and 5 of the pentaglycine bridge, using glycyl-tRNA(Gly) as donor. Involved in resistance to methicillin.

ltaA
Conserved hypothetical protein; Probable permease that is required for glycolipid anchoring of LTA. May facilitate the transport of diglucosyl-diacylglycerol (Glc2-DAG) from the inner to the outer leaflet of the cytoplasmic membrane, delivering Glc2-DAG as a substrate for LTA synthesis, thereby generating glycolipid-anchored LTA. Appears to play an important role in virulence; Belongs to the major facilitator superfamily. LtaA family.
