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]
