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

kdpDSensor protein KdpD, putative; Member of the two-component regulatory system KdpD/KdpE that regulates the transcription of a series of virulence factors through sensing external K(+) concentrations. Regulates also capsular polysaccharide production. May function as a membrane-associated protein kinase that phosphorylates KdpE in response to environmental signals. In turn, KpdE functions as a transcriptional regulator by direct binding to promoter regions of target genes including spa, hla, aur and geh. (885 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
kdpE
DNA-binding response regulator, putative; Member of the two-component regulatory system KdpD/KdpE that regulates the transcription of a series of virulence factors through sensing external K(+) concentrations. Regulates also capsular polysaccharide synthesis. Upon phosphorylation by KpdD, functions as a transcriptional regulator by direct binding to promoter regions of target genes including spa, hla, aur and geh. Represses the transcription of kdpFABC operon.

kdpC
Potassium-transporting ATPase, C subunit; Part of the high-affinity ATP-driven potassium transport (or Kdp) system, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP coupled with the electrogenic transport of potassium into the cytoplasm. This subunit acts as a catalytic chaperone that increases the ATP-binding affinity of the ATP-hydrolyzing subunit KdpB by the formation of a transient KdpB/KdpC/ATP ternary complex.
 
  
 0.991
kdpB
Potassium-translocating P-type ATPase, B subunit, putative; Part of the high-affinity ATP-driven potassium transport (or Kdp) system, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP coupled with the electrogenic transport of potassium into the cytoplasm. This subunit is responsible for energy coupling to the transport system. Belongs to the cation transport ATPase (P-type) (TC 3.A.3) family. Type IA subfamily.
 
  
 0.990
kdpA
Potassium-transporting ATPase, A subunit; Part of the high-affinity ATP-driven potassium transport (or Kdp) system, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP coupled with the electrogenic transport of potassium into the cytoplasm. This subunit binds and transports the potassium across the cytoplasmic membrane.

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 [...]

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.

arlR
DNA-binding response regulator, putative; Member of the two-component regulatory system ArlS/ArlR involved in the regulation of adhesion, autolysis, multidrug resistance and virulence. ArlS/ArlR affects expression of the multidrug resistance transporter NorA and interacts with both Agr (virulence accessory gene regulator) (negatively) and SarA (staphylococcal accessory regulator) (positively) to modulate several virulence factor genes, including ssp (serine protease), spa (surface protein A) and hla (alpha-hemolysin). Could inhibit biofilm development by a mechanism independent of the [...]
