Polymer stability plays an important role in the positional regulation of FtsZ.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Sept 2001

Levin P A, Schwartz R L, Grossman A D

Abstract excerpt

We conducted a series of experiments examining the effect of polymer stability on FtsZ localization dynamics in Bacillus subtilis. A loss-of-function mutation in ezrA, a putative polymer-destabilizing factor, suppresses the defects in FtsZ polymer stability associated with minCD overexpression. In addition, a mutation that is predicted to stabilize the FtsZ polymer leads to the formation of polar FtsZ rings....
