  • Cofactor(s):
  • Effectors of protein activity:
    • Z ring formation is inhibited upon binding of 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 SepF PubMed
    • interaction with UgtP inhibits FtsZ filament formation PubMed
    • FtsZ polymerization is inhibited by interaction with MinC PubMed
  • Localization:
    • septal at the cell membrane PubMed
    • septal localization partially depends on the proton motive force PubMed
