Identification of two new genes, mukE and mukF, involved in chromosome partitioning in Escherichia coli.

Molecular & general genetics : MGG - 25 Feb 1996

Yamanaka K, Ogura T, Niki H, Hiraga S

Abstract excerpt

We have previously reported that the MukB protein is essential for chromosome partitioning in Escherichia coli and that mukB mutants produce anucleate cells and are temperature-sensitive for colony formation. The mukB gene maps at 21 min on the E. coli chromosome and smtA-mukF-mukE-mukB genes might comprise an operon, which is transcribed in a clockwise direction. Here, we report that mukF and mukE null mutants...
