Abstract excerpt
The mukB gene codes for a 177 kDa protein, which might be a candidate for a force-generating enzyme in chromosome positioning in Escherichia coli. The mukB106 mutant produces normal-sized, anucleate cells and shows a temperature-sensitive colony formation. To identify proteins interacting with the MukB protein, we isolated three multicopy suppressors (msmA, msmB, and msmC) to the temperature-sensitive colony...
