| Description | ZapE is a cell division protein found in Gram-negative bacteria. The bacterial cell division process relies on the assembly, positioning, and constriction of FtsZ ring (the so-called Z-ring), a ring-like network that marks the future site of the septum of bacterial cell division [ , . ZapE is a Z-ring associated protein required for cell division under low-oxygen conditions suggesting that ZapE is a stress-regulated cell division protein [ ]. It is an ATPase that appears at the constricting Z-ring late in cell division. It reduces the stability of FtsZ polymers in the presence of ATP in vitro []. | Name | Cell division protein ZapE |
| Short Name | ZapE | Type | Family |
