| Primary Identifier | IPR036141 | Type | Homologous_superfamily |
| Short Name | MukF_M_sp |
| description | This entry represents the middle coiled-coil domain superfamily of MukF []. MukF is involved in chromosome condensation, segregation and cell cycle progression. MukE along with MukF interact with MukB in vivo forming a complex, which is required for chromosome condensation and segregation in Escherichia coli []. The Muk complex appears to be similar to the SMC-ScpA-ScpB complex in other prokaryotes where MukB is the homologue of SMC []. This domain is responsible for binding the ATPase domain of MukB and bind MukE []. |
