| Description | MukE is involved in the segregation and condensation of prokaryotic chromosomes. MukE along with MukF ( ) interact with MukB ( ) in vivo forming a complex, which is required for chromosome condensation and segregation in Escherichia coli [ ]. The Muk complex appears to be similar to the SMC-ScpA-ScpB complex in other prokaryotes where MukB is the homologue of SMC []. ScpA () and ScpB ( ) have little sequence similarity to MukE or MukF, though they are predicted to be structurally similar, being predominantly α-helical with coiled coil regions. |
