divIVA

Gene

divIVA

Protein

Cell division protein DivIVA

Organism

Streptococcus pneumoniae (strain ATCC BAA-255 / R6)

Length

262 amino acids

Function

Appears to have a multifaceted role in controlling cell morphology, completion of cell division and separation, as well as chromosome segregation, through a complex interaction web. Seems to be primarily involved in the formation and maturation of the cell poles.

Similarity

Belongs to the DivIVA family.

Gene

divIVA

Protein

Septum site-determining protein DivIVA

Organism

Bacillus subtilis (strain 168)

Length

164 amino acids

Function

May act as a pilot protein, directing MinCD to the polar septation sites or by inhibiting MinCD at the midcell site of division. Required for polar localization of the chromosome during sporulation.

Similarity

Belongs to the DivIVA family.
