The protein
Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity
regulates [SW|DNA replication] initiation by either inhibiting or activating the [SW|DNA replication] initiator protein [protein|search|DnaA] [Pubmed|21235642]; regulation of ''Spo0A'' expression [Pubmed|10852876]Protein family
parA family (according to Swiss-Prot)Effectors of protein activity
[protein|search|ParB] inhibits [protein|search|ParA] dimerization and concomitant DNA-binding activity by stimulating [protein|search|ParA] ATPase activity [Pubmed|21235642][SW|Localization]
polar/ septal at the cell membrane [Pubmed|20566861]polar localization depends on the proton motive force [Pubmed|20566861][SW|Interactions]
