Protein
Chromosome partition protein MukF
Organism
Photorhabdus luminescens subsp. laumondii (strain DSM 15139 / CIP 105565 / TT01)
Function
Involved in chromosome condensation, segregation and cell cycle progression. May participate in facilitating chromosome segregation by condensation DNA from both sides of a centrally located replisome during cell division. Not required for mini-F plasmid partitioning. Probably acts via its interaction with MukB and MukE. Overexpression results in anucleate cells. It has a calcium binding activity.
Similarity
Belongs to the MukF family.
