Abstract excerpt
The ftsYEX operon in Escherichia coli encodes three proteins, two of which (FtsE and FtsX) are known to be required for cell division. Although FtsE and FtsX have been identified using SDS-PAGE, the FtsY protein has not. We have used in vitro insertion mutagenesis to identify FtsY as a 92 kD polypeptide in maxicell experiments, although predictions from the DNA sequence estimated FtsY to be 54 kD. Results suggest...
