minC cell division inhibitor (revised)

This part, minC, is known as a cell division inhibitor. Its first record on iGEM was made by 2006 Chiba iGEM team(BBa_J29040), but there is not an available part. 2010 Warsaw iGEM team submitted another minC (BBa_K299806) with different sequence. However, there was a PstI site in the middle of the sequence.

We have cloned the minC gene from E. coli K-12 strain MG1655 by performing PCR, with a single nucleotide synonymous mutation to eliminate the PstI site.

Studies show that minC interacts directly with FtsZ and antagonizes FtsZ assembly. Overexpression of minC would lead to septation inhibition at all potential division sites.
