Abstract excerpt
The small bitopic division protein FtsL is an essential part of the division machinery (divisome) in most eubacteria. In Bacillus subtilis FtsL is a highly unstable protein and the turnover has been implicated in regulation of division in response to DNA damage. N-terminal deletions and a domain swap experiment identified the short cytoplasmic domain of FtsL as being required for instability. We then identified a...
