The Escherichia coli FtsH protein is a prokaryotic member of a protein family of putative ATPases involved in membrane functions, cell cycle control, and gene expression.

Department of Molecular Cell Biology, Kumamoto University School of Medicine, Japan.

ABSTRACT

The ftsH gene is essential for cell viability in Escherichia coli. We cloned and sequenced the wild-type ftsH gene and the temperature-sensitive ftsH1(Ts) gene. It was suggested that FtsH protein was an integral membrane protein of 70.7 kDa (644 amino acid residues) with a putative ATP-binding domain. The ftsH1(Ts) gene was found to have two base substitutions within the coding sequence corresponding to the amino acid substitutions Glu-463 by Lys and Pro-587 by Ala. Homology search revealed that an approximately 200-amino-acid domain, including the putative ATP-binding sequence, is highly homologous (35 to 48% identical) to the domain found in members of a novel, eukaryotic family of putative ATPases, e.g., Sec18p, Pas1p, CDC48p, and TBP-1, which function in protein transport pathways, peroxisome assembly, cell division cycle, and gene expression, respectively. Possible implications of these observations are discussed.
