3.A.12.1.1
Septum DNA translocation pore protein SpoIIIE. SpoIIIE forms DNA-conducting channels across the two lipid bilayers of the septum (Burton et al., 2007). The dynamic assembly of SpoIIIE mediates septal membrane fission during Bacillus subtilis sporulation (Fleming et al., 2010).  Directionality of DNA pumping is probably a result of asymmetic chromosomal distrbution of SpoIIIE Recognition Sequences in the DNA.  Since SpoIIIE can strip proteins off the chromosome during translocation, SpoIIIE may interact with the DNA beyond it's binding sites (Higgins and Dworkin 2012).
