FtsK: Regions, Phylogeny & Mechanism of action

FtsK is a protein involved in bacterial cell division and chromosome segregation. In E. coli, is one of the largest proteins, consisting of 1329 amino acids. FtsK stands for "Filament temperature sensitive mutant K" because cells expressing a mutant ftsK allele called ftsK44, which encodes an FtsK variant containing an G80A residue change in the second…
