Septum formation initiator FtsL/DivIC

InterPro entry
Short nameFtsL/DivIC
family relationships

Description

FtsL and DivIC (FtsB) are essential components of this division machinery
[3]
. In Bacillus subtilis DivIC is necessary for both vegetative and sporulation septum formation
[1]
. These proteins are mainly composed of an N-terminal coiled-coil. DivIB, DivIC and FtsL inter-depend on each other for stabilisation and localisation. The latter two form a heterodimer
[2]
.
