Morphogenetic stage IV sporulation protein; ATPase. Has a role at an early stage in the morphogenesis of the spore coat outer layers. Its ATP hydrolysis is required for proper assembly of the spore coat. Forms a basement layer around the outside surface of the forespore and self-assembles irreversibly into higher order structures by binding and hydrolyzing ATP thus creating a durable and stable platform upon which thereafter morphogenesis of the coat can take place. Required for proper localization of spore coat protein CotE and sporulation-specific proteins including SpoVM.

Factor required for normal spore cortex and coat synthesis (stage V sporulation); Coordinates cortex and coat assembly during sporulation. Associates with the spore coat protein SpoIVA and with the outer forespore membrane, thereby serving as a membrane anchor that tethers SpoIVA and the entire spore coat to the forespore surface. May also serve as a competitive inhibitor of FtsH activity during sporulation.
