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.

ltaAConserved 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. (402 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ugtP
Conserved hypothetical protein; Processive glucosyltransferase involved in the biosynthesis of both the bilayer- and non-bilayer-forming membrane glucolipids. Is able to successively transfer two glucosyl residues to diacylglycerol (DAG), thereby catalyzing the formation of beta-monoglucosyl-DAG (3-O- (beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol) and beta-diglucosyl-DAG (3-O-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl-beta-(1->6)-D-glucopyranosyl)-1,2-diacyl- sn-glycerol). Beta-diglucosyl-DAG is the predominant glycolipid found in Bacillales and is also used as a membrane anchor for lipoteichoic acid (LT [...]

ltaS
Conserved hypothetical protein; Catalyzes the polymerization of lipoteichoic acid (LTA) polyglycerol phosphate, a reaction that presumably uses phosphatidylglycerol (PG) as substrate. Is required for staphylococcal growth and cell division process; Belongs to the LTA synthase family.
