Abstract
The DNA-binding protein RefZ and its binding sites (
RBM
s) are conserved in sequence and location on the chromosome across the
Bacillus
genus and contribute to the timing of polar FtsZ-ring assembly during sporulation. Only a small number of noncoding and nonregulatory DNA motifs are known to be conserved in chromosomal position in bacteria, suggesting there is strong selective pressure for their maintenance; however, a
refZ
deletion mutant sporulates efficiently, providing no clues as to their functional significance.
