| SMART accession number: | SM00842 |
|---|---|
| Description: | FtsA is essential for bacterial cell division, and co-localizes to the septal ring with FtsZ. It has been suggested that the interaction of FtsA-FtsZ has arisen through coevolution in different bacterial strains (PUBMED:9352931). |
| Interpro abstract (IPR003494): | FtsA is essential for bacterial cell division, and co-localises to the septal ring with FtsZ. The SHS2 domain is inserted into the RNAseH fold of FtsA [(PUBMED:15281131)], and is involved in protein-protein interaction [(PUBMED:9352931)]. |
| GO process: | cell cycle (GO:0007049) |
| GO function: | protein binding (GO:0005515) |
| Family alignment: |
