Abstract
ABSTRACT
Deletion of
ftsK
results in the inhibition of cell division, but this inhibition can be reversed by a plasmid carrying only the first ∼17% of
ftsK
. The division block can be suppressed in most mutants by deletion of
dacA
, which codes for the
d
-alanine:
d
-alanine carboxypeptidase PBP5, or in all mutants by overexpression of
ftsN
. Overexpression of
ftsK
inhibits cell division and the formation of FtsZ rings. This division block is not due to the induction of either the SOS or the heat shock regulons.
