| PF06160 | Septation ring formation regulator, EzrA | family |
During the bacterial cell cycle, the tubulin-like cell-division protein FtsZ polymerises into a ring structure that establishes the location of the nascent division site. EzrA modulates the frequency and position of FtsZ ring formation [1]. The structure contains 5 spectrin like alpha helical repeats [2].
