| Description | This entry represents Cell division protein FtsX and similar proteins predominantly found in proteobacteria.FtsX is an integral membrane protein encoded in the same operon as signal recognition particle docking protein FtsY and FtsE. FtsE is a hydrophilic nucleotide-binding protein that associates with the inner membrane by means of association with FtsX; FtsE mutants are viable only in high salt, supporting possible roles in cell division or in transport [ ]. FtsX belongs to a family of predicted permeases and may play a role in the insertion of proteins required for potassium transport, cell division, and other activities [, , , ]. FtsX is involved in sporulation in the Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis []. | Name | Cell division protein FtsX, proteobacteria |
