    • [SW|Categories] containing this gene/protein

  • [SW|cell division], [SW|cell wall synthesis]

    • Gene

    Coordinates on the chromosome (coding sequence)
    4,148,851 -> 4,149,645

    Phenotypes of a mutant

  • the mutant divides over unsegregated chromosomes more frequently than wild-type cells, and this phenotype is exacerbated when DNA replication is inhibited [Pubmed|21169496]
  • increased sensitivity to a narrow spectrum of cephalosporin antibiotics [Pubmed|21169496]
  • disruption of the corresponding gene in B. anthracis results in a mutator phenotype [Pubmed|21205011]

    • The protein

    Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity

  • the enzymatic activity of WalJ directly or indirectly affects cell wall metabolism and is required for accurate coordination of [SW|cell division] with DNA replication [Pubmed|21169496]

    • Protein family

  • predicted member of the metallo-β-lactamase superfamily

    • Expression and Regulation

    Operon

  • ''[protein|search|walR]-[protein|search|walK]-[protein|search|yycH]-[protein|search|yycI]-[protein|search|walJ]-[protein|search|htrC]'' [Pubmed|9829949]

    • Regulation

  • expressed during vegetative growth, repressed during stationary phase [Pubmed|9829949]
