Deletion analysis of gene minE which encodes the topological specificity factor of cell division in Escherichia coli.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Oct 1995

Pichoff S, Vollrath B, Touriol C, Bouché J P

Abstract excerpt

Division inhibition caused by the minCD gene products of Escherichia coli is suppressed specifically at mid-cell by MinE protein expressed at physiological levels. Excess MinE allows division to take place also at the poles, leading to a minicell-forming (Min-) phenotype. In order to investigate the basis of this topological specificity, we have analysed the ability of truncated derivatives of MinE to suppress...
