Cell division protein DipM

UniProtKB accession:  A0A0H3C9Q9

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Required for efficient cell division, cell polarity and normal cell morphology (PubMed:20497504, PubMed:20497503, PubMed:20497502). Facilitates remodeling of the peptidoglycan layer and, thus, coordinated constriction of the cell envelope during the division process (PubMed:20497502, PubMed:20497504). Plays a critical role in maintaining proper cell envelope architecture during growth and division (PubMed:20497504). Required for normal envelope invagination during cell division and to establish or maintain outer membrane connections throughout the cell envelope (PubMed:20497504). May serve as a regulatory hub coordinating the activities of multiple peptidoglycan-degrading enzymes during cell constriction. Required to position SdpA and SdpB at midcell (PubMed:28833791).
