Description | FtsQ is an essential cell division protein. It may link together the upstream cell division proteins, which are predominantly cytoplasmic, with the downstream cell division proteins, which are predominantly periplasmic [ ]. FtsQ may control the correct divisome assembly [].DivIB is a cell division protein from Gram-positive bacteria, probably homologous to Escherichia coli FtsQ. DivIB interacts with FtsL, DivIC and PBP-2B [ , ]. DivIB plays an essential role in division at high temperatures, maybe by protecting FtsL from degradation or by promoting formation of the FtsL-DivIC complex []. It is also required for efficient sporulation at all temperatures [].FtsQ and DivIB have a short N-terminal cytoplasmic domain and a larger C-terminal periplasmic domain [ , ]. This entry represents the C-terminal region. | Name | Cell division protein FtsQ/DivIB, C-terminal |
