Plastid division protein CDP1, chloroplastic

UniProtKB accession:  Q8VY16

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Component of the plastid division machinery required for PDV1 localization to constriction sites. Involved in chloroplast division site placement (PubMed:28984364, PubMed:23936263). Required for the proper formation of FtsZ rings at the division site in nongreen plastids (e.g. etioplasts) (PubMed:23936263). Inhibits FtsZ assembly, functioning as an antagonistic regulator of FtsZ dynamics against ARC6, by recruiting ARC3 to the middle of the plastid to facilitates its interaction with FtsZ proteins (PubMed:26527658, PubMed:30824505). Required during stromule biogenesis in the leaf epidermis, especially in non-mesophyll cells plastids (PubMed:28984364).
