Notes
FtsK is required for resolution of chromosome dimers at dif by XerCD. FtsK helps keep the nucleoids properly localized, recognizing opposing replichores by using FtsK orienting polar sequences (KOPS). The N-terminal domain is membrane-anchored, localizes to the division septum and is required for cell division. The C-terminal domain has the non-essential translocase activity, which becomes essential for replicating the asymmetric replichores produced by chromosome inversion (Lesterlin, 2008). LexA regulon. Homologous to B. subtilis SpoIIIE protein. The ftsK gene is essential. The filamentous growth of mutants is suppressed by dacA deletions. ftsK44(ts) can be suppressed by an ftsA R286W mutation or by an ftsQAZ plasmid. Divisome.[4]
