Feature:
CHAIN 1 169 Cell division inhibitor.
/FTId=PRO_0000072305.
REGION 31 149 Conserved region.
REGION 160 169 Lon protein binding site (Probable).

Comments:
-!- FUNCTION: SulA is a 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.
The expression of sulA is repressed by the lexA protein. FtsZ
seems to be the target of sulA.
-!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Bacterial cell inner membrane; peripheral
membrane protein.
-!- MISCELLANEOUS: The N-terminus of the sulA protein might be
involved in recognizing the cell division apparatus.
-!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the sulA family.
-!- CAUTION: Ref.2 sequence differs from that shown due to a
frameshift in position 145.
