Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: FtsZ, a homologue of eukaryotic tubulin, localizes throughout the cytoplasm in non-dividing Escherichia coli. However, it assembles in cytokinetic rings at the early stages of septation. Factors controlling the dynamics of FtsZ ring formation are unknown, and the molecular mechanism governing these dynamics is yet to be determined. RESULTS: At 42 degrees C, JE10715 mutant bacteria formed...
