| Description | The FtsA/MreB family includes proteins that play a crucial role in bacterial cell division. Members of this family are involved in the assembly of the Z ring, which is essential for the cytokinesis process. These proteins may act as membrane anchors for the Z ring, facilitating the recruitment of other cell division proteins to the septal ring. They are also associated with ATP binding and hydrolysis, which suggests an active role in the conformational changes required during the cell division process. The extreme C-terminus of these proteins is particularly important for their localization, self-interaction, and activity. | Name | Bacterial cell division protein FtsA/MreB |
