SepF is the FtsZ anchor in archaea, with features of an ancestral cell division system
Most archaea divide by binary fission using an FtsZ-based system that is poorly understood. Here, the authors combine structural, cellular, and evolutionary analyses to show that the SepF protein acts as the FtsZ anchor in the archaeon Methanobrevibacter smithii.
