The gene

Basic information

  • Locus tag: BSU15420

Phenotypes of a mutant

Deletion of divIVA leads to filamentation and polar divisions that in turn cause a minicell phenotype. PubMed A divIVA mutant has a severe sporulation defect. PubMed

Database entries

  • DBTBS entry: [1]
  • SubtiList entry: [2]

Additional information

Filamentation is suppressed by mutations in minCD PubMed.

The protein

Basic information/ Evolution

  • Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity: DivIVA is required for polar localisation of MinCD via MinJ. PubMed It also recruits RacA to the distal pole of the prespore PubMed.
  • Protein family: gpsB family (according to Swiss-Prot)
  • Paralogous protein(s): GpsB

Extended information on the protein

  • Kinetic information:
  • Domains: The first 60 amino acids constitute a lipid binding domain. PubMed

Multimerisation involves two coiled-coil motifs, one in the lipid binding domain, and the other one being present in the helical C-terminal domain PubMed.

  • Modification: The Mycobacterium DivIVA homologue Wag31 is phosphorylated at T73 PubMed.
  • Cofactor(s): not known
  • Effectors of protein activity: not known
  • Localization: DivIVA forms a ring underneath the invaginating membrane at the site of cell division and is enriched at both cell poles PubMed.

Database entries

  • Structure:
  • KEGG entry: [3]
  • E.C. number:

Additional information

Expression and regulation

  • Regulation:
    • repressed under conditions that trigger sporulation (Spo0A) PubMed
  • Regulatory mechanism:
  • Additional information:

Biological materials

  • Mutant: divIVA::tet available from the Hamoen Lab
  • Expression vector:
  • lacZ fusion:
  • GFP fusion: divIVA-gfp fusions available from the Hamoen Lab
  • two-hybrid system:
  • Antibody:
