Protein
Putative septum site-determining protein minD homolog, chloroplastic
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Function
Calcium-dependent ATPase required for the correct placement of the plastid division site. Inhibits FtsZ filament and ring formation in the plastid. Mediates inhibition of plastid division. In cooperation with MINE1, prevents FtsZ ring formation anywhere outside of the mid-plastids.
Similarity
Belongs to the ParA family. MinD subfamily.
