Structure of the K. pneumonia SlmA protein bound to the C-terminal tail of the cytoskeletal cell division protein FtsZ

Structural highlights
FunctionSLMA_KLEP7 Required for nucleoid occlusion (NO) phenomenon, which prevents Z-ring formation and cell division over the nucleoid. Acts as a DNA-associated cell division inhibitor that binds simultaneously chromosomal DNA and FtsZ, and disrupts the assembly of FtsZ polymers. SlmA-DNA-binding sequences (SBS) are dispersed on non-Ter regions of the chromosome, preventing FtsZ polymerization at these regions. Contents | ||||||||||||||||||||
