Identification
Name:Cell division inhibitor SulA
Synonyms:Not Available
Gene Name:sulA
Enzyme Class:Not Available
Biological Properties
General Function:SOS response
Specific Function:Component of the SOS system and an inhibitor of cell division. Accumulation of SulA causes rapid cessation of cell division and the appearance of long, non-septate filaments. In the presence of GTP, binds a polymerization-competent form of FtsZ in a 1:1 ratio, thus inhibiting FtsZ polymerization and therefore preventing it from participating in the assembly of the Z ring. This mechanism prevents the premature segregation of damaged DNA to daughter cells during cell division. The effect of overexpression of SulA is neutralized by antitoxin CbeA (yeeU) (PubMed:22515815).
