Bacterial dynamin-like protein

UniProtKB accession:  B2IZD3

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Dynamin-related GTPase probably involved in membrane remodeling. Lipid and nucleotide-binding are thought to induce a large intramolecular rearrangement, leading to assembly on lipid bilayers and possible membrane curving. In the presence of the non-hydrolyzable GTP analog GMP-PNP self-assembles on a lipid bilayer; this does not stimulate subsequent GTPase activity. Does not bind lipids in the presence of GDP; perhaps GTP hydrolysis disrupts membrane-binding.
