Protein Family Models

MipZ is an ATPase that forms a complex with the chromosome partitioning protein ParB near the chromosomal origin of replication [1]. It is responsible for the temporal and spatial regulation of FtsZ ring formation [1]. [1]. 16839883. MipZ, a spatial regulator coordinating chromosome segregation. with cell division in Caulobacter..

This family consists of several bacterial VirC1 proteins. In Agrobacterium tumefaciens, a cis-active 24-base-pair sequence adjacent to the right border of the T-DNA, called overdrive, stimulates tumour formation by increasing the level of T-DNA processing. It is thought that the virC operon which enhances T-DNA processing probably does so because the VirC1 protein interacts with overdrive. It has now been shown that the virC1 gene product binds to overdrive but not to the right border of T-DNA [1]. [1]. 2592351.

This family consists of various cobyrinic acid a,c-diamide synthases. These include CbiA Swiss:P29946 and CbiP Swiss:Q05597 from S.typhimurium [4], and CobQ Swiss:Q52686 from R. capsulatus [3]. These amidases catalyse amidations to various side chains of hydrogenobyrinic acid or cobyrinic acid a,c-diamide in the biosynthesis of cobalamin (vitamin B12) from uroporphyrinogen III. Vitamin B12 is an important cofactor and an essential nutrient for many plants and animals and is primarily produced by bacteria [4]. The family also contains dethiobiotin synthetases as well as the plasmid partitioning proteins of the MinD/ParA family [6]. [1]. 9742225.
