This entry represents a small family of MksE proteins. These proteins are part of MksBEF complex, which primarily function in structural chromosome maintenance [1]. The N-terminal part of MksE is remotely related to the chromosome partition protein MukE and most likely adopts the same structure that consists of two winged helix domains (WHD) [2]. [1]. 35072315.
