Identification and characterization of a negative regulator of FtsZ ring formation in Bacillus subtilis.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 17 Aug 1999

Levin P A, Kurtser I G, Grossman A D

Abstract excerpt

During the bacterial cell cycle, the tubulin-like cell-division protein FtsZ polymerizes into a ring structure that establishes the location of the nascent division site. We have identified a regulator of FtsZ ring formation in Bacillus subtilis. This protein, EzrA, modulates the frequency and position of FtsZ ring formation. The loss of ezrA resulted in cells with multiple FtsZ rings located at polar as well as...
