Notes

[back to top]


The membrane localization of MinD is mediated by an 8-12 residue C-terminal motif, the membrane targeting sequence (MTS), mutations in this region prevent membrane localization, but not MinC binding. MinD contains switch I and II regions (regions that undergo nucleotide-dependent conformational changes responsible for interactions with their partners) involved in MinC interactions. MinCD oscillates (migrates) between coating one half of the cell's membrane (minE ring to pole) to coating the other half every 40 secs, and this may help to identify the cell center. Overexpression causes filamentous biofilm formation.[1]
