Abstract excerpt
We have identified a gene involved in bacterial cell division, located immediately upstream of the ftsI gene in the min 2 region of the Escherichia coli chromosome. This gene, which we named ftsL, was detected through characterization of TnphoA insertions in a plasmid containing this chromosomal region. TnphoA topological analysis and fractionation of alkaline phosphatase fusion proteins indicated that the ftsL...
