    Phenotypes of a mutant

  • Deletion of ''divIVA'' leads to filamentation and polar divisions that in turn cause a minicell phenotype. [Pubmed|9219999]
  • A ''divIVA'' mutant has a moderate [(Pubmed)|26735940] to severe [(Pubmed)|11445541] [SW|sporulation] defect.
  • The protein

    Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity

  • curvature sensitive membrane binding protein that recruits other proteins to the poles and the division septum
  • DivIVA is required for polar localisation of [protein|search|MinC]-[protein|search|MinD] via [protein|search|MinJ]. [Pubmed|19019154]
  • It also recruits [protein|search|RacA] to the distal pole of the prespore [Pubmed|12493822].
  • DivIVA may anchor [SW|SpoIIE] briefly to the assembling polar septum before [SW|SpoIIE] is subsequently released into the forespore membrane and recaptured at the polar septum [Pubmed|25101664]
  • required for the compartment-specific activation of [protein|search|SigF] [Pubmed|25101664]
  • activates [protein|search|PrkC] [Pubmed|25845974]
  • required for oriC placement during spore development [Pubmed|27059541]
  • Protein family

  • gpsB family (according to Swiss-Prot)
  • Paralogous protein(s)

  • [protein|search|GpsB]
  • [SW|Domains]

  • the first 60 amino acids constitute a conserved lipid binding domain. [Pubmed|19478798]
  • the C-terminal domain is less conserved
  • multimerisation involves two coiled-coil motifs, one in the lipid binding domain, and the other one being present in the helical C-terminal domain [Pubmed|18388125] [Pubmed|23264578]
  • Modification

  • phosphorylated on Arg-102 [Pubmed|22517742]
  • The ''Mycobacterium'' DivIVA homologue Wag31 is phosphorylated at T73 [Pubmed|15985609]
  • DivIVA from ''Streptococcus pneumoniae'' is phosphorylated at Threonine 201 by the Ser/Thr protein kinase Sktp1. [Pubmed|20453092][Pubmed|22211696]
  • [SW|Cofactors]

  • not known
  • Effectors of protein activity

  • not known
  • Structure

  • [PDB|2WUJ] (N-terminal domain) [Pubmed|20502438]
  • [SW|Localization]

  • DivIVA forms a ring underneath the invaginating membrane at the site of cell division and is enriched at both cell poles [Pubmed|9219999].
  • forms rings at the division septum and patches at the cell poles [Pubmed|22108385]
  • membrane targeting requires [protein|search|SecA] [Pubmed|24592260]
  • assembles into a ring-like structure at the polar septum during [SW|sporulation] [Pubmed|25101664]
  • [SW|Interactions]

  • ([protein|search|MinC]-[protein|search|MinD])-[protein|search|MinJ]-[SW|DivIVA] [Pubmed|20352045], [protein|search|MinJ] binds to the N-terminal lipid-binding domain of [SW|DivIVA] [Pubmed|23264578]
  • [SW|DivIVA]-[protein|search|RacA], [protein|search|RacA] binds to the C-terminal domain of [SW|DivIVA] [Pubmed|23264578]
