The authors found that the interaction of Bni5 with the terminal subunit (Cdc11) at the junctions between adjacent hetero-octamers in paired filaments is highly cooperative.
Title: Effects of Bni5 Binding on Septin Filament Organization.

From the nucleotide-free structure some interesting conclusions about the nucleotide binding properties of Cdc11 can be drawn; especially when aligning the structure with the structure of GDP bound Sept2
Title: Crystal structure of Cdc11, a septin subunit from Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Important function of the CTEs of Cdc11 and Shs1 is optimizing recruitment of Bni5 and thereby ensuring efficient localization at the bud neck of Myo1, the type II myosin of the actomyosin contractile ring.
Title: The Carboxy-Terminal Tails of Septins Cdc11 and Shs1 Recruit Myosin-II Binding Factor Bni5 to the Bud Neck in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

The sole portion of Shs1 essential for its function is predicted coiled-coil-forming segment in its C-terminal extension (CTE). CTE of Cdc11 shares this function. This role for the CTEs of Cdc11 and Shs1 is distinct from that of the CTEs of Cdc3 and Cdc12
Title: Comprehensive Genetic Analysis of Paralogous Terminal Septin Subunits Shs1 and Cdc11 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

It was shown that Shs1 substitutes for Cdc11, resulting in octameric rods that do not polymerize into filaments but associate laterally, forming curved bundles that close into rings.
