UniProt functional annotation for Q7VL94

UniProt code: Q7VL94.

Organism: Haemophilus ducreyi (strain 35000HP / ATCC 700724).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Pasteurellales; Pasteurellaceae; Haemophilus.
 
Function: Involved in chromosome condensation, segregation and cell cycle progression. May participate in facilitating chromosome segregation by condensation DNA from both sides of a centrally located replisome during cell division. Not required for mini-F plasmid partitioning. Probably acts via its interaction with MukB and MukE. Overexpression results in anucleate cells. It has a calcium binding activity. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01803}.
 
Subunit: Interacts, and probably forms a ternary complex, with MukE and MukB via its C-terminal region. The complex formation is stimulated by calcium or magnesium. It is required for an interaction between MukE and MukB. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01803}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm, nucleoid {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_01803}. Note=Restricted to the nucleoid region. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01803}.
Similarity: Belongs to the MukF family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_01803}.
