DNA topoisomerase I (topA); Releases the supercoiling and torsional tension of DNA, which is introduced during the DNA replication and transcription, by transiently cleaving and rejoining one strand of the DNA duplex. Introduces a single-strand break via transesterification at a target site in duplex DNA. The scissile phosphodiester is attacked by the catalytic tyrosine of the enzyme, resulting in the formation of a DNA- (5'-phosphotyrosyl)-enzyme intermediate and the expulsion of a 3'-OH DNA strand. The free DNA strand then undergoes passage around the unbroken strand, thus removing D [...]

Cell division protein (ftsZ); 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.

Smf protein (smf); Similar to PID:1165281 PID:1196312 PID:1234878 GB:AE000783 percent identity: 32.71; identified by sequence similarity; putative.

Integrase/recombinase (xprB); 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.

Conserved hypothetical protein; Similar to PID:1165282 PID:1196311 PID:1234877 GB:AE000783 percent identity: 24.15; identified by sequence similarity; putative.

Conserved hypothetical protein; Similar to SP:P46846 PID:606348 GB:U00096 PID:1789818 percent identity: 25.13; identified by sequence similarity; putative.

UDP-N-acetylmuramoylalanyl-D-glutamyl-2, 6-diaminopimelate--D-alanyl-D-alanine ligase (murF); Involved in cell wall formation. Catalyzes the final step in the synthesis of UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-pentapeptide, the precursor of murein; Belongs to the MurCDEF family. MurF subfamily.

Cell division protein (ftsA); Cell division protein that is involved in the assembly of the Z ring. May serve as a membrane anchor for the Z ring. Belongs to the FtsA/MreB family.

Cell division protein (ftsW); Similar to PID:1165286 SP:Q44775 PID:1223601 PID:1223610 PID:1234873 percent identity: 34.57; identified by sequence similarity; putative; Belongs to the SEDS family.
