Protein
Cell division protein ZapB
Organism
Shewanella denitrificans (strain OS217 / ATCC BAA-1090 / DSM 15013)
Function
Non-essential, abundant cell division factor that is required for proper Z-ring formation. It is recruited early to the divisome by direct interaction with FtsZ, stimulating Z-ring assembly and thereby promoting cell division earlier in the cell cycle. Its recruitment to the Z-ring requires functional FtsA or ZipA.
Similarity
Belongs to the ZapB family.
