Only the N-terminal domain of FtsK functions in cell division.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Sept 1998

Draper G C, McLennan N, Begg K, Masters M, Donachie W D

Abstract excerpt

Deletion of ftsK results in the inhibition of cell division, but this inhibition can be reversed by a plasmid carrying only the first approximately 17% of ftsK. The division block can be suppressed in most mutants by deletion of dacA, which codes for the D-alanine:D-alanine carboxypeptidase PBP5, or in all mutants by overexpression of ftsN. Overexpression of ftsK inhibits cell division and the formation of FtsZ...
