MukF_C

MukF_C
PFAM accession number:PF17193
Interpro abstract (IPR033441):

This entry represents the C-terminal domain of MukF. MukF is involved in chromosome condensation, segregation and cell cycle progression. MukE along with MukF interact with MukB in vivo forming a complex, which is required for chromosome condensation and segregation in Escherichia coli [ (PUBMED:10545099) ]. The Muk complex appears to be similar to the SMC-ScpA-ScpB complex in other prokaryotes where MukB is the homologue of SMC [ (PUBMED:12065423) ]. The C-terminal domain of MukF is thought to bind to MukE and MukB [ (PUBMED:15902272) ].

This is a PFAM domain. For full annotation and more information, please see the PFAM entry MukF_C
