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

vraRDNA-binding response regulator VraR, putative; Member of the two-component regulatory system VraS/VraR involved in the control of the cell wall peptidoglycan biosynthesis. Upon cellular stress, the histidine kinase VraS transfers the phosphoryl group onto VraR. Upon phosphorylation, VraR dimerizes at the N-terminal domain. In turn, phosphorylation-induced dimerization expand and enhance the VraR binding to its own promoter leading to increased expression and subsequent modulation of as many as 40 genes, which ultimately constitute the S.aureus response to cell wall damage. In addition, [...] (209 aa)

nreB
Conserved hypothetical protein; Member of the two-component regulatory system NreB/NreC involved in the control of dissimilatory nitrate/nitrite reduction in response to oxygen. NreB functions as a direct oxygen sensor histidine kinase which is autophosphorylated, in the absence of oxygen, probably at the conserved histidine residue, and transfers its phosphate group probably to a conserved aspartate residue of NreC. NreB/NreC activates the expression of the nitrate (narGHJI) and nitrite (nir) reductase operons, as well as the putative nitrate transporter gene narT (By similarity).

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.

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.

walR
Two-component response regulator, putative; Member of the two-component regulatory system WalK/WalR that regulates genes involved in cell wall metabolism, virulence regulation, biofilm production, oxidative stress resistance and antibiotic resistance via direct or indirect regulation of autolysins. Functions as a transcription regulator by direct binding to promoter regions. Positively controls the cell wall-hydrolytic activity through regulation of atlA and lytM, as well as induces transcription of isaA, sceD, ssaA, and four ssaA- related genes. Binds directly to the lytM, ssaA and is [...]

map
Methionine aminopeptidase, type I; Removes the N-terminal methionine from nascent proteins. The N-terminal methionine is often cleaved when the second residue in the primary sequence is small and uncharged (Met-Ala-, Cys, Gly, Pro, Ser, Thr, or Val). Requires deformylation of the N(alpha)-formylated initiator methionine before it can be hydrolyzed; Belongs to the peptidase M24A family. Methionine aminopeptidase type 1 subfamily.
