Cell division protein FtsK; Essential cell division protein that coordinates cell division and chromosome segregation. The N-terminus is involved in assembly of the cell-division machinery. The C-terminus functions as a DNA motor that moves dsDNA in an ATP-dependent manner towards the dif recombination site, which is located within the replication terminus region. Translocation stops specifically at Xer-dif sites, where FtsK interacts with the Xer recombinase, allowing activation of chromosome unlinking by recombination. FtsK orienting polar sequences (KOPS) guide the direction of DNA [...]

Phosphoribosylglycinamide formyltransferase; Catalyzes the transfer of a formyl group from 10- formyltetrahydrofolate to 5-phospho-ribosyl-glycinamide (GAR), producing 5-phospho-ribosyl-N-formylglycinamide (FGAR) and tetrahydrofolate.

Phosphoribosylformylglycinamidine cyclo-ligase; See PMID:20190049 for expression data.

Conserved protein of unknown function; See PMID:20190049 for expression data; identified by Glimmer.

Conserved protein of unknown function; See PMID:20190049 for expression data; Belongs to the UPF0149 family.

Conserved protein of unknown function; See PMID:20190049 for expression data; identified by Glimmer.

Cell division protein ZipA, putative; Essential cell division protein that stabilizes the FtsZ protofilaments by cross-linking them and that serves as a cytoplasmic membrane anchor for the Z ring. Also required for the recruitment to the septal ring of downstream cell division proteins.

This gene is aparrently the terminal component of a non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (due to the presence of the terminal thioesterase domain) and is most likely associated with the previous gene which appears to be a initiating component. This gene contains three complete amino acid activation, thiolation and condensation domain modules and appears to be specific for glycine, an unidentified amino acid and serine according to the prediction algorithm at http://raynam.chm.jhu.edu/; nrps/index2.html. Taken together these two genes appear to direct the biosynthesis of a previously undesc [...]

Coronamic acid synthetase CmaA; Non-ribosomal peptide synthetase with adenylation and thiolation domains; reacts with the AMP derivative of L-allo-isoleucine to produce an aminoacyl thiolester intermediate during coronamic acid biosynthesis; see PMID: 14679222; see PMID:20190049 for expression data; non-ribosomal peptide synthetase with adenylation and thiolation domains, reacts with the AMP derivative of L-allo-isoleucine to produce an aminoacyl thiolester intermediate during coronamic acid biosynthesis, see PMID: 14679222.
