The cytoplasmic domain of FtsK protein is required for resolution of chromosome dimers
Open accessAbstract
Chromosome dimers, formed by homologous recombination between sister chromosomes, normally require cell division to be resolved into monomers by site‐specific recombination at the dif locus of Escherichia coli. We report here that it is not in fact cell division per se that is required for dimer resolution but the action of the cytoplasmic domain of FtsK, which is a bifunctional protein required both for cell division and for chromosome partition.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
