Protein
Cell division topological specificity factor 2
Organism
Syntrophomonas wolfei subsp. wolfei (strain DSM 2245B / Goettingen)
Function
Prevents the cell division inhibition by proteins MinC and MinD at internal division sites while permitting inhibition at polar sites. This ensures cell division at the proper site by restricting the formation of a division septum at the midpoint of the long axis of the cell.
Similarity
Belongs to the MinE family.
