Coupling between DNA replication and cell division mediated by the FtsA protein in Escherichia coli: a pathway independent of the SOS response, the "TER" pathway.

RESUMO

Inhibition of DNA synthesis prevented the recovery of cell division in filaments of D-3R [ftsA3(Ts) recA56] returned to the permissive temperature. The FtsA protein may be a signal involved in the "TER" pathway, a series of events that coordinate cell division with DNA replication, that is independent of the SOS pathway.
