Identifier

MUKE

Protein name

RecName: Full=Chromosome partition protein mukE;

Gene name

mukE

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. Probably acts via its interaction with mukB and mukF (By similarity).

SUBUNIT: Interacts, and probably forms a ternary complex, with mukF and mukB. The complex formation is stimulated by calcium or magnesium (By similarity).

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm, nucleoid (By similarity). Note=Restricted to the nucleoid region (By similarity).

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the mukE family.
