Protein
Probable septum site-determining protein MinC
Organism
Nostoc sp. (strain PCC 7120 / SAG 25.82 / UTEX 2576)
Function
Cell division inhibitor that blocks the formation of polar Z ring septums. Rapidly oscillates between the poles of the cell to destabilize FtsZ filaments that have formed before they mature into polar Z rings. Prevents FtsZ polymerization (By similarity).
Similarity
In the C-terminal section; belongs to the MinC family.
