FtsK, a DNA Motor Protein, Coordinates the Genome Segregation and Early Cell Division Processes in Deinococcus radiodurans

Abstract

Deinococcus radiodurans show extraordinary resistance to gamma radiation. It is polyploid and harbors a multipartite genome comprised of 2 chromosomes and 2 plasmids, packaged in a doughnut-shaped toroidal nucleoid.

“…FtsK, involved in cell division and chromosome segregation, possesses transmembrane (TM) domains at its N-terminus (Bisicchia et al, 2013). In the strain ATCC 13939K, the proteins DR_0400 (annotated as FtsK) and DR_0401 (representing the 4TM domains of FtsK) are consolidated into a single protein, KDR_0400m (Figure 1F), corroborating a recent finding (Mishra et al, 2022).…”
