Protein Domain : Chromosome partition protein MukF IPR005582

Type  Family
Description  This family contains MukF, which are proteins involved in chromosome condensation, segregation and cell cycle progression. 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. The structure of MuKF has been revealed [].
