Protein Domain : IPR053712

Description  This superfamily of proteins acts as activators of bacterial cell division. They are known to inhibit the GTPase activity of the FtsZ protein, which is a key regulator in the assembly of the bacterial cytoskeleton. By inhibiting FtsZ GTPase activity, these proteins promote the polymerization of FtsZ into protofilaments, which are essential for the formation of the Z ring at the site of cell division. The Z ring serves as a scaffold for the division machinery and is crucial for the cytokinesis process. These proteins are typically recruited to the mid-cell early in the cell division process, although they are not considered essential for the division to occur.
