Abstract excerpt
The Escherichia coli genes dicF and dicB encode division inhibitors, which prevent the synthesis and activity, respectively, of the essential division protein FtsZ. A mutation at the C-terminal end of the RNA polymerase beta subunit renders cells resistant to both inhibitors. In the mutant strain...
