DNA translocase,molecular model. This is FtsK,a DNA translocase that coordinates chromosome segregation and cell division in bacteria. It is a cyclic hexamer,with six protein chains shown in different colours here. The DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) handled by this enzyme passes through the centre of the ring which translocates the DNA using a rotary inchworm mechanism. This example is from the Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterium | |
