The protein

Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity

  • transports the forespore chromosome across the sporulation septum PubMed
  • translocates septum-entrapped DNA only when septum closure precedes complete segregation of chromosomes PubMed
  • the two DNA translocases SftA and SpoIIIE synergistically affect chromosome dimer resolution presumably by positioning the dif sites in close proximity, before or after completion of cell division, respectively PubMed
  • binds DNA sequences named SRS for SpoIIIE recognition sequence, GAGAAGGG PubMed
  • Paralogous protein(s)

    Domains

  • N-terminal transmembrane domain (4 helices) PubMed
  • 134 aa linker PubMed
  • 512 aa motor domain at the C-terminus PubMed
  • Structure

  • 2IUT (FtsK from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, partial, 48% identity, complex with SftA) PubMed
  • Localization

  • transmembrane domain mediates dynamic localization to active division sites PubMed
  • complexes are recruited to nascent sites of septation, and are subsequently escorted by the constriction machinery to the center of sporulation and division septa PubMed
