FtsL, an essential cytoplasmic membrane protein involved in cell division in Escherichia coli.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Dec 1992

Guzman L M, Barondess J J, Beckwith J

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...
