Abstract excerpt
Polar development and cell division in Caulobacter crescentus are controlled and coordinated by multiple signal transduction proteins. divJ encodes a histidine kinase. A null mutation in divJ results in a reduced growth rate, cell filamentation, and mislocalized stalks. Suppressor analysis of divJ identified mutations in genes encoding the tyrosine kinase (divL) and the histidine kinase (cckA). The divL and cckA...
