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

nikCOligopeptide transporter putative membrane permease domain; Part of the ABC transporter complex NikABCDE (Opp2) involved in nickel import. Probably responsible for the translocation of the substrate across the membrane. Required for full urease activity and plays a significant role in the virulence of S.aureus during urinary tract infection (UTI). (276 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
nikB
Oligopeptide transporter putative membrane permease domain; Part of the ABC transporter complex NikABCDE (Opp2) involved in nickel import. Probably responsible for the translocation of the substrate across the membrane. Required for full urease activity and plays a significant role in the virulence of S.aureus during urinary tract infection (UTI).
 
 0.999
nikD
Peptide ABC transporter, ATP-binding protein, putative; Part of the ABC transporter complex NikABCDE (Opp2) involved in nickel import. Probably responsible for energy coupling to the transport system. Required for full urease activity and plays a significant role in the virulence of S.aureus during urinary tract infection (UTI).
 
 0.998
nikA
Conserved hypothetical protein; Part of the ABC transporter complex NikABCDE (Opp2) involved in nickel import. Binds nickel and transfers it to the membrane-bound permease. Required for full urease activity and plays a significant role in the virulence of S.aureus during urinary tract infection (UTI). May bind nickel via a nickel-chelator.

cntD
Peptide ABC transporter, ATP-binding protein, putative; Part of the ABC transporter complex CntABCDF (Opp1) involved in the uptake of metal in complex with the metallophore staphylopine (StP). Involved in the import of divalent metals ions such as nickel, cobalt and zinc. Probably responsible for energy coupling to the transport system. Plays a major role in nickel/cobalt import in zinc-depleted conditions. Contributes to virulence. Required for full urease activity in vitro.
