Abstract excerpt
The mukB gene encodes a protein involved in chromosome partitioning in Escherichia coli. To study the function of this protein, we isolated from the temperature-sensitive mukB null mutant and characterized 56 suppressor mutants which could grow at 42 degrees C. Ten of the mutants also showed cold-sensitive growth at 22 degrees C. Using one of the cold-sensitive mutants as host, the wild type of the suppressor...
