Site-specific tyrosine recombinase for chromosome partitioning; Site-specific tyrosine recombinase, which acts by catalyzing the cutting and rejoining of the recombining DNA molecules. The XerC- XerD complex is essential to convert dimers of the bacterial chromosome into monomers to permit their segregation at cell division. It also contributes to the segregational stability of plasmids.

Site-specific DNA-binding protein; Required for the initiation of sporulation and for normal chromosome segregation. Antagonizes sporulation inhibition by Soj. It probably interacts with a specific DNA site and other proteins involved in partitioning and cell division, and antagonizes Soj in response to cell cycle events related to chromosome partitioning.

Cell-division initiation protein; Essential cell division protein that forms a contractile ring structure (Z ring) at the future cell division site. The regulation of the ring assembly controls the timing and the location of cell division. One of the functions of the FtsZ ring is to recruit other cell division proteins to the septum to produce a new cell wall between the dividing cells. Binds GTP and shows GTPase activity.

Cell-division protein; Peptidoglycan polymerase that is essential for cell division.

Cell-division protein essential fo Z-ring assembly; Cell division protein that is required for the assembly of the Z ring. May serve as a membrane anchor for the Z ring (By similarity). Binds and hydrolyzes ATP. Also involved in sporulation (Probable). Belongs to the FtsA/MreB family.

Chromosome partitioning protein; Inhibits the initiation of sporulation, Spo0J antagonizes this inhibition. Soj ultimately inhibits the activation (phosphorylation) of Spo0A; Belongs to the ParA family.

DNA-binding protein Spo0J-like; Effects nucleoid occlusion by binding relatively nonspecifically to DNA and preventing the assembly of the division machinery in the vicinity of the nucleoid, especially under conditions that disturb the cell cycle. It helps to coordinate cell division and chromosome segregation by preventing the formation of the Z ring through the nucleoid, which would cause chromosome breakage.

UDP-N-acetyl muramate-alanine ligase; Cell wall formation; Belongs to the MurCDEF family.

Transcription-repair coupling factor; Couples transcription and DNA repair by recognizing RNA polymerase (RNAP) stalled at DNA lesions. Mediates ATP-dependent release of RNAP and its truncated transcript from the DNA, and recruitment of nucleotide excision repair machinery to the damaged site; In the N-terminal section; belongs to the UvrB family.
