Structural insights into FtsZ protofilament formation.

Nature structural & molecular biology - 1 Dec 2004

Oliva Maria A, Cordell Suzanne C, Löwe Jan

Abstract excerpt

The prokaryotic tubulin homolog FtsZ polymerizes into a ring structure essential for bacterial cell division. We have used refolded FtsZ to crystallize a tubulin-like protofilament. The N- and C-terminal domains of two consecutive subunits in the filament assemble to form the GTPase site, with the C-terminal domain providing water-polarizing residues. A domain-swapped structure of FtsZ and biochemical data on...
