Categories containing this gene/protein

cell division, cell wall synthesis

This gene is a member of the following regulons

The gene

Basic information

  • Locus tag: BSU40370

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
  • increased sensitivity to a narrow spectrum of cephalosporin antibiotics PubMed
  • disruption of the corresponding gene in B. anthracis results in a mutator phenotype PubMed

Database entries

  • DBTBS entry: [1]
  • SubtiList entry: [2]

Additional information

The protein

Basic information/ Evolution

  • Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity: the enzymatic activity of WalJ directly or indirectly affects cell wall metabolism and is required for accurate coordination of cell division with DNA replication PubMed
