A division inhibitor and a topological specificity factor coded for by the minicell locus determine proper placement of the division septum in E. coli

The E. coli minicell locus ( minB) was shown to code for three gene products (MinC, MinD, and MinE) whose coordinate action is required for proper placement of the division spetum. Studies of the phenotypic effects of expression of the three genes, alone and in all possible combinations, indicated t...
