A new Escherichia coli cell division gene, ftsK.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Nov 1995

Begg K J, Dewar S J, Donachie W D

Abstract excerpt

A mutation in a newly discovered Escherichia coli cell division gene, ftsK, causes a temperature-sensitive late-stage block in division but does not affect chromosome replication or segregation. This defect is specifically suppressed by deletion of dacA, coding for the peptidoglycan DD-carboxypeptidase, PBP 5. FtsK is a large polypeptide (147 kDa) consisting of an N-terminal domain with several predicted...
