cdvA

Gene

cdvA

Protein

Cell division protein A

Organism

Sulfolobus acidocaldarius (strain ATCC 33909 / DSM 639 / JCM 8929 / NBRC 15157 / NCIMB 11770)

Length

238 amino acids

Function

Part of a cell division machinery (PubMed:18987308, PubMed:21255729). The CdvA, CdvB and CdvC proteins polymerize between segregating nucleoids and persist throughout cell division, forming a successively smaller structure during constriction (PubMed:18987308). CdvA is a membrane interacting protein that recruits ESCRT-III homologs to the membrane (PubMed:21255729).
