Sporulation-specific cell division protein SsgB

UniProtKB accession:  Q47N25

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Involved in sporulation-specific cell division (PubMed:19567872). Required for early stages of sporulation. Important in the process of growth cessation prior to sporulation-specific cell division. Recruits cell division protein FtsZ to the future septum sites and tethers the contractile ring structure (Z ring) to the cytoplasmic membrane during sporulation (By similarity). Stimulates polymerization and filament length of FtsZ in vitro (PubMed:21205868).
