SMART: Pfam domain ZapA

ZapA

PFAM accession number:	PF05164
Interpro abstract (IPR007838):	This entry represents a structural domain found in the cell division protein ZapA, as well as in related proteins. This domain has a core structure consisting of two layers alpha/beta, and has a long C-terminal helix that forms dimeric parallel and tetrameric antiparallel coiled coils [ (PUBMED:15288790) ]. ZapA interacts with FtsZ, where FtsZ is part of a mid-cell cytokinetic structure termed the Z-ring that recruits a hierarchy of fission related proteins early in the bacterial cell cycle. ZapA drives the polymerisation and filament bundling of FtsZ, thereby contributing to the spatio-temporal tuning of the Z-ring.
