Structural, functional and evolutionary analyses collectively indicate that Nucleotide Binding Protein 2 (MinD homolog, E.coli) is one of the membrane associated ATPase family. It involved in cell division to determine the position of septum (Z-ring) though the MinD complex. Prokaryotic MRP proteins and eukaryotic nucleotide binding proteins (NBP) are paralogs that share a common ancestral gene but possess different functions. Many NBPs contain the highly conserved structure P-loop (MRP-like) that acts as an ATPase. There are two subtypes of NBP in eukarytes, NBP1 appeared earlier in evolution than NBP2. The origination of NBP2 was likely achieved by the deletion of the Cysteine-rich N-terminal of NBP1.
