AC MF_02012; DC Protein; auto TR HAMAP; MF_02012; -; 1; level=0 XX Names: ZapA_type1 XX ID ZAPA DE RecName: Full=Cell division protein ZapA; DE AltName: Full=Z ring-associated protein ZapA; GN Name=zapA; XX CC -!- FUNCTION: Activator of cell division through the inhibition of FtsZ CC GTPase activity, therefore promoting FtsZ assembly into bundles of CC protofilaments necessary for the formation of the division Z ring. It CC is recruited early at mid-cell but it is not essential for cell CC division. CC -!- SUBUNIT: Homodimer. Interacts with FtsZ. CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. Note=Localizes at mid-cell. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the ZapA family. Type 1 subfamily.

There is a 3D-structure available for ZapA from Pseudomonas aeruginosa; this protein is not a member of this family though it probably has the same function; the information derived from the structure was included in this rule.
