Nodes:
Network nodes represent proteins
splice isoforms or post-translational modifications are collapsed, i.e. each node represents all the proteins produced by a single, protein-coding gene locus.
Node Color
colored nodes:
query proteins and first shell of interactors
white nodes:
second shell of interactors
Node Content
empty nodes:
proteins of unknown 3D structure
filled nodes:
a 3D structure is known or predicted
Edges:
Edges represent protein-protein associations
associations are meant to be specific and meaningful, i.e. proteins jointly contribute to a shared function; this does not necessarily mean they are physically binding to each other.

ezrACell division regulator, negative regulator of FtsZ ring formation; Negative regulator of FtsZ ring formation; modulates the frequency and position of FtsZ ring formation. Inhibits FtsZ ring formation at polar sites. Interacts either with FtsZ or with one of its binding partners to promote depolymerization; Belongs to the EzrA family. (584 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
gpsB
Conserved hypothetical protein; Divisome component that associates with the complex late in its assembly, after the Z-ring is formed, and is dependent on DivIC and PBP2B for its recruitment to the divisome. Together with EzrA, is a key component of the system that regulates PBP1 localization during cell cycle progression. Its main role could be the removal of PBP1 from the cell pole after pole maturation is completed. Also contributes to the recruitment of PBP1 to the division complex. Not essential for septum formation.
  
 
 0.985
divIB
Cell division protein DivIB; Cell division protein that may be involved in stabilizing or promoting the assembly of the division complex.
  
   
 0.985
ftsA
Cell division protein FtsA; 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.
  
 
 0.977
ftsZ
Cell division protein FtsZ; 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.
   
 
 0.972
rodA
Rod shape determining protein; Belongs to the SEDS family.
 
   
 0.961
sepF
Conserved hypothetical protein; Cell division protein that is part of the divisome complex and is recruited early to the Z-ring. Probably stimulates Z-ring formation, perhaps through the cross-linking of FtsZ protofilaments. Its function overlaps with FtsA.
    
 
 0.952
divIVA
Cell-division initiation protein (septum placement); Appears to have a multifaceted role in controlling cell morphology, completion of cell division and separation, as well as chromosome segregation, through a complex interaction web. Seems to be primarily involved in the formation and maturation of the cell poles.
   
 
 0.947
mreC
Cell shape determining protein MreC; Involved in formation and maintenance of cell shape.
  
  
 0.940
ftsW
Cell division protein FtsW; Belongs to the SEDS family.
 
   
 0.917
mapZ
Conserved hypothetical protein; Early cell division protein that marks the future cell division site and supports proper FtsZ ring positioning.
