FtsW/RodA/SpoVE family cell cycle protein
This entry includes the following members; FtsW, RodA, SpoVE (from Pfam)
rod shape-determining protein RodA
rod shape-determining protein RodA is a peptidoglycan polymerase that is essential for cell wall elongation
This protein is a member of the FtsW/RodA/SpoVE family (PF01098). It is found only in species with rod (or spiral) shapes. In many species, mutation of rodA has been shown to correlate with loss of the normal rod shape. Note that RodA homologs are found, scoring below the cutoffs for this model, in a number of both rod-shaped and coccoid bacteria, including four proteins in Bacillus anthracis, for example.
peptidoglycan glycosyltransferase MrdB
Proteins of this family are members of the FtsW/RodA/SpoVE superfamily. It has been reported that RodA proteins play important roles in maintaining cell shape and antibiotic resistance in bacteria.
