Description | This family of proteins is involved in cellular division processes. Members of this family, including CdvA, are known to polymerize between segregating nucleoids during cell division. They form structures that change in size as the cell constricts. Specifically, CdvA is noted for its role in interacting with the cell membrane and recruiting homologs of the ESCRT-III complex to this location. Additionally, these proteins have a domain at the C-terminal end that is crucial for interactions with other cell division proteins, such as CdvB, facilitating the assembly of the cell division machinery. | Name | Cell Division Membrane-Interacting Protein |
