fzlA

Gene
fzlA
Protein
FtsZ-localized protein A
Organism
Caulobacter vibrioides (strain NA1000 / CB15N)
Length
228 amino acids
Function
Essential cell division protein that must bind to FtsZ for division to occur (PubMed:20864042, PubMed:29119622). Critical coordinator of envelope constriction through its interaction with FtsZ (PubMed:29119622). Promotes the formation of highly curved FtsZ filaments, reduces the GTPase activity of FtsZ and stabilizes FtsZ polymers (PubMed:20864042). May regulate FtsZ function by modulating its superstructure (PubMed:20864042). Does not bind to glutathione (PubMed:20864042).
Similarity
Belongs to the GST superfamily.
