Identification of a polar targeting determinant for Bacillus subtilis DivIVA.
Molecular microbiology - 1 Dec 2004
Perry S E, Edwards D H
Abstract excerpt
The Bacillus subtilis protein DivIVA controls both the positioning of the vegetative cell division site and the polar attachment of the chromosome during sporulation. In vegetative growth DivIVA attracts the bipartite cell division inhibitor MinCD away from the cell centre and towards the cell pole. This process ensures the inactivation of old polar division sites and leaves the cell centre free for the assembly...
