UniProt functional annotation for Q72H91

UniProt code: Q72H91.

Organism: Thermus thermophilus (strain ATCC BAA-163 / DSM 7039 / HB27).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Deinococcus-Thermus; Deinococci; Thermales; Thermaceae; Thermus.
 
Function: Probably involved in chromosome partitioning. Binds to a plasmid centromere-like site parS. Stimulates the ATPase activity 10- fold of Soj; the first 20 residues may be responsible. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15635448}.
 
Subunit: Homodimer, probably via the C-terminal 46 residues. Dimerization of the N-terminal H-T-H region may require DNA-binding. Probably interacts with ATPase Soj. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15228524}.
Similarity: Belongs to the ParB family. {ECO:0000305}.
