The Escherichia coli cell division gene ftsW (2 min) was cloned and sequenced. It encodes a hydrophobic protein(s) with 414 and/or 384 amino acid residues. The deduced amino acid sequence and the hydropathy profile of the protein showed high homology with those of the E. coli RodA protein functioning in determination of the cell shape and the Bacillus subtilis SpoVE protein functioning in spore formation. Probably similar functional membrane proteins are involved in these three cell cycle process.
大肠杆菌细胞分裂基因ftsW(2分钟处)被克隆并测序。它编码一种具有414个和/或384个氨基酸残基的疏水蛋白。该蛋白推导的氨基酸序列和疏水分布图与在细胞形状决定中起作用的大肠杆菌RodA蛋白以及在孢子形成中起作用的枯草芽孢杆菌SpoVE蛋白的氨基酸序列和疏水分布图高度同源。可能在这三个细胞周期过程中涉及类似的功能性膜蛋白。
