Your Input: | |||||
| ftsL | Cell division protein; Essential cell division protein. May link together the upstream cell division proteins, which are predominantly cytoplasmic, with the downstream cell division proteins, which are predominantly periplasmic. (121 aa) | ||||
| ftsI | Division specific transpeptidase; Catalyzes cross-linking of the peptidoglycan cell wall at the division septum. (588 aa) | ||||
| ftsW | Essential cell division gene; Peptidoglycan polymerase that is essential for cell division. Belongs to the SEDS family. FtsW subfamily. (414 aa) | ||||
| ftsQ | Cell division protein; Essential cell division protein. May link together the upstream cell division proteins, which are predominantly cytoplasmic, with the downstream cell division proteins, which are predominantly periplasmic. May control correct divisome assembly. (276 aa) | ||||
| ftsA | ATP-binding cell division protein; Cell division protein that is involved in the assembly of the Z ring. May serve as a membrane anchor for the Z ring. Belongs to the FtsA/MreB family. (420 aa) | ||||
| ftsZ | Tubulin-like GTP-binding protein and GTPase; Essential cell division protein that forms a contractile ring structure (Z ring) at the future cell division site. The regulation of the ring assembly controls the timing and the location of cell division. One of the functions of the FtsZ ring is to recruit other cell division proteins to the septum to produce a new cell wall between the dividing cells. Binds GTP and shows GTPase activity. (383 aa) | ||||
| mrcB | Transpeptidase of penicillin-binding protein 1b; Cell wall formation. Synthesis of cross-linked peptidoglycan from the lipid intermediates. The enzyme has a penicillin-insensitive transglycosylase N-terminal domain (formation of linear glycan strands) and a penicillin-sensitive transpeptidase C-terminal domain (cross- linking of the peptide subunits). (840 aa) | ||||
| mrdB | Rod shape-determining membrane protein; Peptidoglycan polymerase that is essential for cell wall elongation; Belongs to the SEDS family. MrdB/RodA subfamily. (370 aa) | ||||
| mrdA | Cell elongation specific transpeptidase of penicillin-binding protein 2 (peptidoglycan synthetase); Catalyzes cross-linking of the peptidoglycan cell wall. Belongs to the transpeptidase family. MrdA subfamily. (633 aa) | ||||
| ftsK | Cell division protein; Essential cell division protein that coordinates cell division and chromosome segregation. The N-terminus is involved in assembly of the cell-division machinery. The C-terminus functions as a DNA motor that moves dsDNA in an ATP-dependent manner towards the dif recombination site, which is located within the replication terminus region. Translocation stops specifically at Xer-dif sites, where FtsK interacts with the Xer recombinase, allowing activation of chromosome unlinking by recombination. FtsK orienting polar sequences (KOPS) guide the direction of DNA trans [...] (1351 aa) | ||||
| ycfM | Putative outer membrane lipoprotein; Regulator of peptidoglycan synthesis that is essential for the function of penicillin-binding protein 1B (PBP1b). (212 aa) | ||||
| ftsI-2 | Putative penicillin-binding protein-3; Catalyzes cross-linking of the peptidoglycan cell wall at the division septum. (581 aa) | ||||
| mrdA-2 | Putative penicillin-binding protein; Catalyzes cross-linking of the peptidoglycan cell wall. Belongs to the transpeptidase family. MrdA subfamily. (623 aa) | ||||
| zipA | Cell division protein involved in FtsZ ring; Essential cell division protein that stabilizes the FtsZ protofilaments by cross-linking them and that serves as a cytoplasmic membrane anchor for the Z ring. Also required for the recruitment to the septal ring of downstream cell division proteins. (328 aa) | ||||
| yfgA | Putative membrane protein; Cytoskeletal protein that is involved in cell-shape control through regulation of the length of the long axis. (334 aa) | ||||
| ygbQ | Putative Septum formation initiator; Essential cell division protein. May link together the upstream cell division proteins, which are predominantly cytoplasmic, with the downstream cell division proteins, which are predominantly periplasmic. (103 aa) | ||||
| mreD | Rod shape-determining protein; Involved in formation of the rod shape of the cell. May also contribute to regulation of formation of penicillin-binding proteins. Belongs to the MreD family. (163 aa) | ||||
| mreC | Rod shape-determining protein; Involved in formation and maintenance of cell shape. (350 aa) | ||||
| mreB | Rod shape-determining protein; Forms membrane-associated dynamic filaments that are essential for cell shape determination. Acts by regulating cell wall synthesis and cell elongation, and thus cell shape. A feedback loop between cell geometry and MreB localization may maintain elongated cell shape by targeting cell wall growth to regions of negative cell wall curvature. (347 aa) | ||||
| ftsX | Putative integral membrane cell division protein; Part of the ABC transporter FtsEX involved in cellular division; Belongs to the ABC-4 integral membrane protein family. FtsX subfamily. (351 aa) | ||||
| ftsE | Putative ATPase involved in cell division; Part of the ABC transporter FtsEX involved in cellular division. (222 aa) | ||||
| ftsN | Essential cell division protein; Essential cell division protein that activates septal peptidoglycan synthesis and constriction of the cell. Acts on both sides of the membrane, via interaction with FtsA in the cytoplasm and interaction with the FtsQBL complex in the periplasm. These interactions may induce a conformational switch in both FtsA and FtsQBL, leading to septal peptidoglycan synthesis by FtsI and associated synthases. (324 aa) | ||||
