    septum site-determining protein MinC

    In Escherichia coli Swiss:P06138 assembles into a Z ring at midcell while assembly at polar sites is prevented by the min system. MinC Swiss:P18196 a component of this system, is an inhibitor of FtsZ assembly that is positioned within the cell by interaction with MinDE. MinC is an oligomer, probably a dimer [1]. The C terminal half of MinC is the most conserved and interacts with MinD. The N terminal half is thought interact with FtsZ. [1]. 10869074. Analysis of MinC reveals two independent domains involved in. interaction with MinD and FtsZ.. Hu Z, Lutkenhaus J;. J Bacteriol 2000;182:3965-3971.. [2]. 10611296.
