Stability of the Escherichia coli division inhibitor protein MinC requires determinants in the carboxy-terminal region of the protein [In Process Citation]

Certain mutations in the C-terminal region of the Escherichia coli division inhibitor protein MinC cause loss of function of the division inhibitor by making MinC more sensitive to degradation by Lon protease, implying a possible role for the C-terminal region in regulating the stability and cellular concentration of MinC.
