DESCRIPTION

Also known as MINC_BACSU, minC. Cell division inhibitor that blocks the formation of polar Z ring septums. Rapidly oscillates between the poles of the cell to destabilize FtsZ filaments that have formed before they mature into polar Z rings. Prevents FtsZ polymerization. The MinCD complex plays an important role in asymmetric septum formation during sporulation of B.subtilis cells. Interacts with MinD and FtsZ.
