Consistent with its role as a regulator, the active-site region is degenerate and lacks a catalytic metal ion.
Title: Structure-function analysis of the LytM domain of EnvC, an activator of cell wall remodelling at the Escherichia coli division site.
The authors report that AmiB and EnvC are recruited to division sites independently of one another. The same is also true for AmiC and NlpD.
Title: A fail-safe mechanism in the septal ring assembly pathway generated by the sequential recruitment of cell separation amidases and their activators.
