Protein Family Models

During the bacterial cell cycle, the tubulin-like cell-division protein FtsZ polymerises into a ring structure that establishes the location of the nascent division site. EzrA modulates the frequency and position of FtsZ ring formation [1]. The structure contains 5 spectrin like alpha helical repeats [2]. [1]. 10449747.
