Identifier

MINC

Protein name

RecName: Full=Probable septum site-determining protein MinC;

Gene name

minC

FUNCTION: 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 (By similarity).

SUBUNIT: Interacts with MinD and FtsZ (By similarity).

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the MinC family.
