    Phenotypes of a mutant

  • inactivation of ''[gene|C3482F13AE7B7462D9A4C91C8B461B7987A2277D|minJ]'' reduces sporulation efficiency to 36% that of wild type cells; delayed entry into sporulation and aberrant forespores [Pubmed|26735940]

    • The protein

    Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity

  • The Min system prevents minicell formation adjacent to recently completed division sites by promoting the disassembly of the cytokinetic ring, thereby ensuring that cell division occurs only once per cell cycle [Pubmed|20352045]
  • required for oriC placement during spore development [Pubmed|27059541]

    • [SW|Localization]

  • forms rings at the division septum [Pubmed|22108385]
  • cell membrane [Pubmed|23264578]
