The Conserved DNA Binding Protein WhiA Influences Chromosome Segregation in Bacillus subtilis.

Journal of bacteriology - 15 Apr 2018

Bohorquez Laura C, Surdova Katarina, Jonker Martijs J, Hamoen Leendert W

Abstract excerpt

The DNA binding protein WhiA is conserved in Gram-positive bacteria and is present in the genetically simple cell wall-lacking mycoplasmas. The protein shows homology to eukaryotic homing endonucleases but lacks nuclease activity. WhiA was first characterized in streptomycetes, where it regulates the expression of key differentiation genes, including the cell division gene ftsZ, which is essential for...
