Structural highlights

Function

FTSQ_ECOLI Essential cell division protein. May link together the upstream cell division proteins, which are predominantly cytoplasmic, with the downstream cell division proteins, which are predominantly periplasmic. May control correct divisome assembly.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00911]^{[1] [2]}
