The protein

Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity

• dephosphorylation of [protein|3936E91C062074BFE4284B54A8CC33F35F94F5EE|SpoIIAA]

Protein family

• PP2C [SW|phosphatase]

Effectors of protein activity

• degraded by [protein|4E7B9426CED372AA8A321A147116A3A589FBF20C|FtsH], oligomerization and polar localization protect SpoIIE from degradation [Pubmed|26465112]

Structure

• [PDB|3T91] (phosphatase domain) [Pubmed|22115775]

[SW|Localization]

• cell membrane (according to Swiss-Prot)
• localizes to the polar cell division sites where it causes [protein|41872E2EF00C79918DD077F2EF78F37E24FEB110|FtsZ] to relocate from mid-cell to form polar Z-rings
• forespore [Pubmed|26465112]
• localizes to the cell poles (via [protein|A8C0C2B7BCA6FFFF3811402D683FB7B99F7120A4|DivIVA]) [Pubmed|26465112]
• proper localization and stability depend on [protein|3282D2C25468776881778006F182FCF322C4821D|SpoIIQ] [Pubmed|26929302]
