The Dimerization Function of MinC Resides in a Structurally Autonomous C-Terminal Domain

Year: 2001

Type: article

Abstract: Limited proteolysis of the Escherichia coli cell division inhibitor MinC reveals that its dimerization function resides in a structurally autonomous C-terminal domain. We show that cytoplasmic MinC is poised near the monomer-dimer equilibrium and propose that it only becomes entirely dimeric once recruited to the membrane by MinD.
