  • Paralogous protein(s):

Extended information on the protein

  • Kinetic information:
  • Domains:
  • Modification:
  • Cofactor(s):
  • Effectors of protein activity:
    • Z ring formation is inhibited upon binding of MciZ to FtsZ
    • bundling of FtsZ protofilaments into strikingly long and regular tubular structures reminiscent of eukaryotic microtubules requires the prior formation of large ring polymers of SepF PubMed
  • Localization:
    • septal at the cell membrane PubMed
    • septal localization partially depends on the proton motive force PubMed
    • Noc and the Min system ensure the efficient utilization of the division site at midcell in by ensuring Z ring placement PubMed
