Stage V sporulation protein M

UniProtKB accession:  P37817

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Coordinates cortex and coat assembly during sporulation (PubMed:22463703, PubMed:8231808). Associates with the spore coat protein SpoIVA and with the outer forespore membrane, thereby serving as a membrane anchor that tethers SpoIVA and the entire spore coat to the forespore surface (PubMed:17427285). May also serve as a competitive inhibitor of FtsH activity during sporulation (PubMed:9287010).
