Chromosome partition protein MukF

UniProtKB accession:  Q7VL94

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  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. Not required for mini-F plasmid partitioning. Probably acts via its interaction with MukB and MukE. Overexpression results in anucleate cells. It has a calcium binding activity.
