Abstract excerpt
Proper positioning of division sites in Escherichia coli requires balanced expression of minC, minD, and minE gene products. Previous genetic analysis has shown that either MinD or an apparently unrelated protein, DicB, cooperates with MinC to inhibit division. We have isolated and sequenced minC...
