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

femBMethicillin 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. (419 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
femA
Methicillin resistance factor, FemA, putative; Catalyzes the formation of the pentaglycine interpeptide bridge, which is characteristic of the S.aureus peptidoglycan. Adds glycines 2 and 3 of the pentaglycine bridge, using glycyl-tRNA(Gly) as donor. Involved in resistance to methicillin.
