| Description | The FtsQ/DivIB family comprises essential cell division proteins that play a crucial role in bacterial cytokinesis. Members of this family are involved in stabilizing or promoting the assembly of the cell division complex, a critical step in the bacterial cell cycle. Proteins in the DivIB subfamily may protect other division proteins from degradation, facilitate the formation of protein complexes essential for cell division, and modulate enzymatic activities related to cell wall synthesis. They may also be directly involved in processes such as engulfment during sporulation. The extracellular region of these proteins typically contains distinct subdomains that contribute to their function, including interactions with other divisomal proteins. | Name | Bacterial Cell Division FtsQ/DivIB |
