| UniProt functional annotation for P51834 | |||
| UniProt code: P51834. |
| Organism: | Bacillus subtilis (strain 168). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacilli; Bacillales; Bacillaceae; Bacillus. | |
| Function: | Required for chromosome condensation and partitioning. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01894, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9573042, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9701812}. | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01894}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01894, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9573042}. Note=Probably associated with the nucleoid. | |
| Domain: | Contains large globular domains required for ATP hydrolysis at each terminus and a third globular domain forming a flexible SMC hinge near the middle of the molecule. These domains are separated by coiled- coil structures. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01894}. | |
| Disruption phenotype: | Mutants produce anucleate cells and show defects in nucleoid structure and in chromosome partitioning. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9573042, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9701812}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the SMC family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_01894}. | |
