NCBI Protein Information
plastid division2
NCBI Summary
An integral outer envelope membrane protein (its homolog in A thaliana PDV1), component of the plastid division machinery. Similar to ARC6, PDV2 localizes to a continuous ring at the division site in wild-type plants. PDV1 and PDV2 are required for localization of ARC5 at the chloroplast division site.

UniProt Comments
Component of the plastid division machinery. Required to mediate the recruitment of ARC5 at the midplastid constriction site in the cytoplasm. Relays plastid division site position between stroma and outer surface via interactions with the cytoplasmic ARC5 and the inner membrane ARC6 that recruits stromal FtsZ ring.
