 FtsACell division protein FtsA | |
|---|---|
| SMART ACC: | SM000842 |
| Description: | FtsA is essential for bacterial cell division, and co-localizes to the septal ring with FtsZ. It has been suggested that the interaction of FtsA-FtsZ has arisen through coevolution in different bacterial strains (PUBMED:9352931). |

KEGG pathways involving proteins which contain this domain
This information is based on the mapping of SMART genomic protein database to KEGG orthologous groups. Percentages are related to the number of proteins containing a FtsA domain which could be assigned to a KEGG orthologous group, and not all proteins containing FtsA domains. Please note that proteins can be included in multiple pathways, ie. the numbers below will not add to 100%.
