Nucleotide binding protein Maf. Maf has been implicated in inhibition of septum formation in eukaryotes, bacteria and archaea, but homologs in B.subtilis and S.cerevisiae are nonessential for cell division. Maf has been predicted to be a nucleotide- or nucleic acid-binding protein with structural similarity to the hypoxanthine/xanthine NTP pyrophosphatase Ham1 from Methanococcus jannaschii, RNase H from Escherichia coli, and some other nucleotide or RNA-binding proteins.
