UniProt functional annotation for Q9HTW3

UniProt code: Q9HTW3.

Organism: Pseudomonas aeruginosa (strain ATCC 15692 / DSM 22644 / CIP 104116 / JCM 14847 / LMG 12228 / 1C / PRS 101 / PAO1).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Pseudomonadales; Pseudomonadaceae; Pseudomonas.
 
Function: Activator of cell division through the inhibition of FtsZ GTPase activity, therefore promoting FtsZ assembly into bundles of protofilaments necessary for the formation of the division Z ring. It is recruited early at mid-cell but it is not essential for cell division (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
 
Subunit: Homodimer. Interacts with FtsZ (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}. Note=Localizes at mid- cell. {ECO:0000250}.
Similarity: Belongs to the ZapA family. Type 1 subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
