domain | Consists of two globular domains with a connecting core helix. | ||||||||||||||
similarity | Belongs to the ftsz family.[tubulin] | ||||||||||||||
subunit | Aggregate to form a ring-like structure (by similarity). | ||||||||||||||
genes | FTSZ1, MJ0370 (M. jannaschii) | ||||||||||||||
function | This protein is essential to the cell-division process. Binds to and hydrolyzes gtp (by similarity). Its seems to assemble into a dynamic ring on the inner surface of the cytoplasmic membrane at the place where division will occur, and the formation of the ring is the signal for septation to begin. |
