A rapid fluorescence assay for FtsZ assembly indicates cooperative assembly with a dimer nucleus.

Biophysical journal - 1 Jan 2005

Chen Yaodong, Bjornson Keith, Redick Sambra D, Erickson Harold P

Abstract excerpt

FtsZ is the major cytoskeletal protein operating in bacterial cell division. FtsZ assembles into protofilaments in vitro, and there has been some controversy over whether the assembly is isodesmic or cooperative. Assembly has been assayed previously by sedimentation and light scattering. However,...
