FtsN structure. FtsN is a long bitopic protein, with a small cytoplasmic domain that interacts with FtsA (red), a transmembrane domain (orange), and a large periplasmic domain. The periplasmic domain is mostly unstructured, ending in a SPOR domain that binds to denuded glycans. The region in between the membrane and the SPOR domain contains three α-helixes, including an essential domain of 18 residues (green: EFtsN domain) partly located on the first helix.
