Escherichia coli division inhibitor MinCD blocks septation by preventing Z-ring formation.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Nov 2001

Pichoff S, Lutkenhaus J

Abstract excerpt

The min system spatially regulates division through the topological regulation of MinCD, an inhibitor of cell division. MinCD was previously shown to inhibit division by preventing assembly of the Z ring (E. Bi and J. Lutkenhaus, J. Bacteriol. 175:1118-1125, 1993); however, this was questioned in a recent report (S. S. Justice, J. Garcia-Lara, and L. I. Rothfield, Mol. Microbiol. 37:410-423, 2000) which indicated...
