Description | This entry represents the cell division protein DamX from Enterobacteriaceae. DamX is an inner membrane protein that contributes to the cell constriction process during bacterial cytokinesis. It contains a C-terminal SPOR domain that may act as autonomous septal targeting determinant [ , ]. DamX localises to the septal ring, but it is non-essential for cell division, and it inhibits cell division when overproduced []. It has been suggested that it may contribute to cell envelope biogenesis or integrity in other ways distinct from its role in cell division []. | Name | Cell division protein DamX |
Short Name | DamX | Type | Family |
