Abstract excerpt
DivIVA appears to be a mediator of inhibition by MinCD of division at the cell poles in Bacillus subtilis. Gel permeation and ultracentrifugation techniques were used to show self-association of DivIVA into a form consisting of 10-12 monomers in vitro. Western blot analysis of non-denaturating polyacrylamide gels confirms the presence of similar oligomers in B. subtilis cell lysates. These oligomers persist in a...
