InterPro entry
Short name | FtsL/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].
