The protein

Basic information/ Evolution

  • Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity:
    • UDP-glucose + 1,2-diacylglycerol = UDP + 1,2-diacyl-3-(O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-sn-glycerol (according to Swiss-Prot)
    • the interaction with FtsZ results in inhibition of cell division and an increase of cell size PubMed

Extended information on the protein

  • Kinetic information:
  • Domains:
  • Modification:
  • Cofactor(s):
  • Effectors of protein activity:
    • oligomerization of UgtP is inhibited by UDP-Glc and by interaction with FtsZ PubMed
  • Localization:
    • membrane-bound protein, self-assembles into tightly wound spirals in vitro PubMed
    • under nutrient rich conditions (increased concentration of UDP-Glc): throughout the cell, concentrated at the cell poles and/or the cytokinetic ring, interaction with FtsZ PubMed
    • under nutrient poor conditions: forms punctate foci (oligomers), no interaction with FtsZ PubMed
