Extent of the activity domain and possible roles of FtsK in the Escherichia coli chromosome terminus.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Jun 2005

Corre Jacqueline, Louarn Jean-Michel

Abstract excerpt

Escherichia coli FtsK protein couples cell division and chromosome segregation. It is a component of the septum essential for cell division. It also acts during chromosome dimer resolution by XerCD-specific recombination at the dif site, with two distinct activities: DNA translocation oriented by skewed sequence elements and direct activation of Xer recombination. Dimer resolution requires that the skewed...
