Septal localization of the SpoIIIE chromosome partitioning protein in Bacillus subtilis.

The EMBO journal - 15 Apr 1997

Wu L J, Errington J

Abstract excerpt

The 787 amino acid SpoIIIE protein of Bacillus subtilis is required for chromosome partitioning during sporulation. This process differs from vegetative chromosome partitioning in that it occurs after formation of the septum, apparently by transfer of the chromosome through the nascent septum in a manner reminiscent of plasmid conjugation. Here we show that SpoIIIE is associated with the cell membrane, with its...
