Phenotypes of a mutant
a ''[protein|search|zapA] [protein|search|ezrA]'' double mutant forms filamentous cells [Pubmed|16420366]a ''[protein|search|yvcL] [protein|search|zapA]'' double mutant grows poorly, and the cells are filamentous (due to a defect in Z ring assembly) [Pubmed|24097947]the defects of the ''[protein|search|yvcL] [protein|search|zapA]'' double mutant can be suppressed by inactivation of either ''[protein|search|gtaB]'', ''[protein|search|pgcA]'', or ''[protein|search|ugtP]'' [Pubmed|24097947]The protein
