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

pqsCPqsC; Required for the biosynthesis of the quorum-sensing signaling molecules 2-heptyl-4(1H)-quinolone (HHQ) and 2-heptyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)- quinolone (Pseudomonas quinolone signal or PQS), which are important for biofilm formation and virulence. The PqsC/PqsB complex catalyzes the condensation of 2-aminobenzoylacetate (2-ABA) and octanoyl-CoA to form HHQ. First, PqsC acquires an octanoyl group from octanoyl-CoA and forms an octanoyl-PqsC intermediate. Then, together with PqsB, it catalyzes the coupling of 2-ABA with the octanoate group, leading to decarboxylation and dehydration, and re [...] (348 aa)

pqsB
PqsB; Required for the biosynthesis of the quorum-sensing signaling molecules 2-heptyl-4(1H)-quinolone (HHQ) and 2-heptyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)- quinolone (Pseudomonas quinolone signal or PQS), which are important for biofilm formation and virulence. The PqsC/PqsB complex catalyzes the condensation of 2-aminobenzoylacetate (2-ABA) and octanoyl-CoA to form HHQ. PqsB, together with PqsC, catalyzes the coupling of 2-ABA with the octanoate group, leading to decarboxylation and dehydration, and resulting in closure of the quinoline ring. PqsB is probably required for the proper folding of PqsC ra [...]

pqsE
Quinolone signal response protein; Required for the biosynthesis of the quorum-sensing signaling molecules 2-heptyl-4(1H)-quinolone (HHQ) and 2-heptyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)- quinolone (Pseudomonas quinolone signal or PQS), which are important for biofilm formation and virulence. Catalyzes the hydrolysis of the intermediate 2-aminobenzoylacetyl-CoA (2-ABA-CoA) to form 2- aminobenzoylacetate (2-ABA), the precursor of HHQ. In vitro, can also hydrolyze other substrates such as S-ethyl-acetothioacetate and acetoacetyl-CoA, but is inactive against anthraniloyl-CoA, malonyl-CoA and octanoyl-CoA. Be [...]

pqsA
Probable coenzyme A ligase; Catalyzes the formation of anthraniloyl-CoA, which is the priming step for entry into the Pseudomonas quinolone signal (PQS) biosynthetic pathway. Also active on a variety of aromatic substrates, including benzoate and chloro and fluoro derivatives of anthranilate.

pqsD
3-oxoacyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] synthase III; Required for the biosynthesis of a number of signaling molecules, such as the quinolone signal 2-heptyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)- quinolone (PQS), 2-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline (HHQ) and 2,4- dihydroxyquinoline (DHQ). These molecules are required for normal biofilm formation. Catalyzes the transfer of the anthraniloyl moiety from anthraniloyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA to form 2-aminobenzoylacetyl-CoA. The first step of the reaction is the formation of a covalent anthraniloyl-PqsD intermediate. Next, the short-lived intermediate 3-(2-aminophenyl)- 3-oxopropa [...]

pqsH
Probable FAD-dependent monooxygenase; Involved in the terminal step of the biosynthesis of quinolone which in addition to serve as a potent signal for quorum sensing, chelates iron and promotes the formation of membrane vesicles (MVs). Catalyzes the hydroxylation of 2-heptyl-4-quinolone (C7-HHQ) to yield 2-heptyl-3-hydroxy-4-quinolone (PQS). Belongs to the 3-hydroxybenzoate 6-hydroxylase family.

phnA
Anthranilate synthase component I; Part of a heterotetrameric complex that catalyzes the two- step biosynthesis of anthranilate, a precursor for Pseudomonas quinolone signal (2-heptyl-3-hydroxy-4-quinolone; PQS) production which is required to induce the genes for the biosynthesis of the virulence factor pyocyanine (PCN), a characteristic blue-green phenazine pigment produced by P.aeruginosa. In the first step, the glutamine-binding beta subunit (PhnB) of anthranilate synthase (AS) provides the glutamine amidotransferase activity which generates ammonia as a substrate that, along with [...]
