Overlapping functional units in a cell division gene cluster in Escherichia coli.

PMCID: PMC215576  PMID: 6327635

Abstract

The ftsZ ( sulB ) coding sequence is preceded by two promoters, at least one of which lies within the coding sequence of the neighboring gene, ftsA . This region of the ftsA gene is required for full biological activity of ftsZ .
