DESCRIPTION

Also known as MCIZ_BACSU, mciZ. Blocks Z-ring formation in the mother cell during sporulation by inhibiting the polymerization of FtsZ (PubMed:18284588, PubMed:23237472, PubMed:25848052). Binds to the minus end of FtsZ and functions as a filament-capping protein (PubMed:25848052). At high concentrations, is capable of both capping and sequestration of FtsZ (PubMed:25848052). Decreases the GTPase activity of FtsZ (PubMed:18284588, PubMed:23237472, PubMed:25848052). Interacts with FtsZ (PubMed:18284588, PubMed:23237472, PubMed:25848052). Binds to the C-terminal polymerization interface of FtsZ (PubMed:25848052). Binds to FtsZ filaments (PubMed:25848052).
