SulA

Protein FULL name:

SOS cell division inhibitor [Escherichia coli str. K-12 substr. W3110].


SulA (Escherichia coli strain K-12 substr. MG1655) is product of expression of sulA gene.


SulA is involved in:

DDS in Escherichia coli strain K-12 substr. MG1655
     


Keywords:



FUNCTION: Component of the SOS system and an inhibitor of cell division. Accumulation of sulA causes rapid cessation of cell division and the appearance of long, non-septate filaments. In the presence of GTP, binds a polymerization-competent form of ftsZ in a 1:1 ratio, thus inhibiting ftsZ polymerization and therefore preventing it from participating in the assembly of the Z ring. This mechanism prevents the premature segregation of damaged DNA to daughter cells during cell division.

SUBUNIT: Interacts with ftsZ.

INDUCTION: By DNA damage, as part of the SOS response. Repressed by lexA.

PTM: Is rapidly cleaved and degraded by the lon protease once DNA damage is repaired.

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the sulA family.

SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=CAA23587.1; Type=Frameshift; Positions=145;


NCBI GenPept GI number(s): 89107808
Species: Escherichia coli
