The protein

Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity

• transports the forespore chromosome across the [SW|sporulation ]septum [Pubmed|20516200]
• translocates septum-entrapped DNA only when septum closure precedes complete segregation of chromosomes [Pubmed|19818024]
• the two DNA translocases [protein|DF77B46666595E86081C5345C91E08F86DF9FAEE|SftA] and [protein|125325B485FBC60798EDA4B4BFB24C6FCBC4C513|SpoIIIE] synergistically affect chromosome dimer resolution presumably by positioning the dif sites in close proximity, before or after completion of cell division, respectively [Pubmed|21239579]
• binds DNA sequences named SRS for SpoIIIE recognition sequence, GAGAAGGG [Pubmed|18391964]

Protein family

• FtsK/SpoIIIE/SftA family (with [protein|DF77B46666595E86081C5345C91E08F86DF9FAEE|SftA], according to UniProt)

Paralogous protein(s)

• [protein|DF77B46666595E86081C5345C91E08F86DF9FAEE|SftA]

[SW|Domains]

• N-terminal transmembrane domain (4 helices) [Pubmed|24297254]
• 134 aa linker [Pubmed|24297254]
• 512 aa motor domain at the C-terminus [Pubmed|24297254]
• [SW|FtsK domain] (aa 450-646) (according to UniProt)

Structure

• [PDB|2IUT] (FtsK from ''Pseudomonas aeruginosa'', partial, 48% identity, complex with [protein|DF77B46666595E86081C5345C91E08F86DF9FAEE|SftA]) [Pubmed|16916635]

[SW|Localization]

• free diffusion in the membrane, no enrichment at septa [pubmed|29439991]
• transmembrane domain mediates dynamic localization to active division sites [Pubmed|20516200]
• complexes are recruited to nascent sites of septation, and are subsequently escorted by the constriction machinery to the center of [SW|sporulation] and division septa [Pubmed|23667326]
