Description Imported from IPR037532
In addition to the cytoplasmic proteins FtsZ and FtsA, a number of integral membrane proteins are required for cell division. Among these, FtsI, also called penicillin-binding protein 3 (PBP3), is involved in septum formation
[4]. FtsI is responsible for the synthesis of septal peptidoglycan
[1] and is also required for FtsN localization to the septum
[3, 2].
