• PubMed Abstract: 
  

  The 170 kDa protein MukB has been implicated in ATP-dependent chromosome partitioning during cell division in Escherichia coli. MukB shares its dimeric structure and domain architecture with the ubiquitous family of SMC (structural maintenance of chromosomes) proteins that facilitate similar functions. The N-terminal domain of MukB carries a putative Walker A nucleotide-binding region and the C-terminal domain has been shown to bind to DNA. Mutant phenotypes and a domain arrangement similar to motor proteins that move on microtubules led to the suggestion that MukB might be a motor protein acting on DNA.
