SpoIIIE mechanism of directional translocation involves target search coupled to sequence-dependent motor stimulation

SpoIIIE/FtsK are membrane-anchored, ATP-fuelled, directional motors responsible for chromosomal segregation in bacteria. Directionality in these motors is governed by interactions between specialized sequence-recognition modules (SpoIIIE-γ/FtsK-γ) and highly skewed chromosomal sequences (SRS/KOPS)....
