    • The protein

    Protein family

  • ftsZ family (according to Swiss-Prot)

    • Effectors of protein activity

  • Z ring formation is inhibited upon binding of [protein|08EBBA57B807F8C27C37BEB275DF5E206935C698|MciZ] to FtsZ
  • bundling of FtsZ protofilaments into strikingly long and regular tubular structures reminiscent of eukaryotic microtubules requires the prior formation of large ring polymers of [protein|DB09F1C36257F511A84A083967A25A9D46744D14|SepF] [Pubmed|21224850]
  • interaction with [protein|7A606B8E952AE8CA4F9A62008BA4B156725BB5B5|UgtP] inhibits [protein|41872E2EF00C79918DD077F2EF78F37E24FEB110|FtsZ] filament formation [Pubmed|22931116]
  • FtsZ polymerization is inhibited by interaction with [protein|8C94C9598A823A8405B3E1FA0124E21D90845B8E|MinC] [Pubmed|23577149]
  • Z ring formation requires [protein|953DE0F0B81894ECFF4C0693511AC238BF3D0C0A|PdhA] in a pyruvate-dependent manner [Pubmed|24825009]
