MioC and GidA proteins promote cell division in E. coli

MioC and GidA proteins promote cell division in E. coli

The well-conserved genes surrounding the E. coli replication origin, mioC and gidA, do not affect chromosome replication and have little known function. We report that mioC and gidA mutants exhibit a mild cell division inhibition phenotype, which is exacerbated by a fis deletion. Measurements replic...
