| 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 []. |
