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

sraPConserved hypothetical protein; Mediates binding to human platelets, possibly through a receptor-ligand interaction. Probably associated with virulence in endovascular infection. Plays a positive role in biofilm formation, possibly by self-association via the non-repeat region (NRR or binding region, BR). Binds to and plays a role in human lung epithelial cell invasion via the L-lectin module of its NRR domain; N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) inhibits binding. Treatment of host cells with neuraminidase decreases adherence of S.aureus cells, suggesting SraP recognizes a host terminal N [...] (2271 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
spa
Protein A; Plays a role in the inhibition of the host innate and adaptive immune responses. Possesses five immunoglobulin-binding domains that capture both the fragment crystallizable region (Fc region) and the Fab region (part of Ig that identifies antigen) of immunoglobulins. In turn, Staphylococcus aureus is protected from phagocytic killing via inhibition of Ig Fc region. In addition, the host elicited B-cell response is prevented due to a decrease of antibody-secreting cell proliferation that enter the bone marrow, thereby decreasing long-term antibody production. Inhibits osteoge [...]

asp3
Conserved hypothetical protein; Part of the accessory SecA2/SecY2 system specifically required to export SraP, a serine-rich repeat cell wall protein encoded upstream in the same operon.
 
   
 0.805
asp2
Conserved hypothetical protein; Part of the accessory SecA2/SecY2 system specifically required to export SraP, a serine-rich repeat cell wall protein encoded upstream in the same operon.
 
   
 0.790
secY2
Conserved hypothetical protein; The central subunit of a protein translocation channel (Potential). Part of the accessory SecA2/SecY2 system specifically required to export SraP, a serine-rich repeat cell wall protein encoded upstream in the same operon; Belongs to the SecY/SEC61-alpha family. SecY2 subfamily.
 
   
 0.737
secA2
Preprotein translocase, SecA subunit, putative; Part of the accessory SecA2/SecY2 system specifically required to export SraP, a serine-rich repeat cell wall protein encoded upstream in the same operon.
 
  
 0.730
gtfA
Conserved hypothetical protein; Required for polymorphic O-glycosylation of the serine-rich repeat protein in this bacteria. Catalyzes the first step in glycosylation by transferring N-acetylglucosamine from UDP-GlcNAc to serine residues in the substrate protein. Part of the accessory SecA2/SecY2 system specifically required to export serine-rich repeat cell wall proteins usually encoded upstream in the same operon.
 
  
 0.718
gtfB
Conserved hypothetical protein; Required for polymorphic O-glycosylation of the serine-rich repeat protein in this bacteria. A stabilizing protein that is part of the accessory SecA2/SecY2 system specifically required to export serine-rich repeat cell wall proteins usually encoded upstream in the same operon. The GtfA-GtfB complex adds GlcNAc from UDP-GlcNAc to the substrate protein, attaching the first sugar residue. Stabilizes the glycosylation activity of GtfA. Has no N-acetylglucosaminyl transferase activity on its own.

asp1
Conserved hypothetical protein; Part of the accessory SecA2/SecY2 system specifically required to export SraP, a serine-rich repeat cell wall protein encoded upstream in the same operon.

ABD31296.1
Conserved hypothetical protein.
  
 0.685
essC
Conserved hypothetical protein; Component of the type VII secretion system (Ess). Required for the secretion of substrates including EsxA and EsxB. However, unable to support secretion of the substrate protein EsxC. Belongs to the EssC family.
