Differentiation in the dimorphic bacterium Caulobacter crescentus results from a sequence of discontinuous, stage-specific events that leads to the production of a stalked cell and a new motile swarmer cell after each asymmetric cell division. As reported previously, pseudoreversion analysis of mutations in the pleiotropic developmental gene pleC identified three cell division genes: divJ, divK, and divL. We show here that one of these genes, divJ, encodes a predicted protein of 596 residues wit ...[more]
