The proper ratio of FtsZ to FtsA is required for cell division to occur in Escherichia coli.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Oct 1992

Dai K, Lutkenhaus J

Abstract excerpt

Interactions among cell division genes in Escherichia coli were investigated by examining the effect on cell division of increasing the expression of the ftsZ, ftsA, or ftsQ genes. We determined that cell division was quite sensitive to the levels of FtsZ and FtsA but much less so to FtsQ. Inhibition of cell division due to an increase in FtsZ could be suppressed by an increase in FtsA. Inhibition of cell...
