Abstract excerpt
The site of cell division in Escherichia coli is defined by formation of the Z ring between the two segregated daughter nucleoids. Positioning of the Z ring, composed of the highly conserved and tubulin-like FtsZ protein, appears to be negatively regulated by both the nucleoid and the oscillating MinCD inhibitor proteins. MukB protein is probably involved in nucleoid condensation, and in the absence of MukB, the...
