Protein Domain : Flotillin-like protein FloA IPR022853

Type  Family
Description  This entry represents flotillin-like protein FloA from bacteria.Bacterial flotillin-like proteins are found in membrane microdomains that may be equivalent to eukaryotic membrane rafts [ ]. Similarly to eukaryotic flotillin proteins, flotillins in bacteria play an essential role in organizing and maintaining the correct architecture of the functional membrane microdomains [, ]. Bacillus subtilis has two flotillin paralogs, FloT and FloA. The absence of one of the flotillins has only minor effects, but the absence of both proteins has very severe effects: loss of proper cell shape, a defect in cell division [].
