Abstract excerpt
A gene, encoding a protein homologous to an essential Escherichia coli protein, FtsH, was identified adjacent to the hpt gene and the trnA operon in the Gram-positive bacterium Lactococcus lactis. The deduced amino acid sequence of the gene product showed full-length similarity to FtsH of E. coli, Yme1p of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and a conserved region found in a new family of putative ATPases. In-frame fusions...
