ftsZ mutations affecting cell division frequency, placement and morphology in Bacillus subtilis.

Microbiology (Reading, England) - 1 Jun 2005

Feucht Andrea, Errington Jeffery

Abstract excerpt

A key event in cytokinesis in bacteria is the assembly of the essential division protein FtsZ into ring-like structures at the nascent division site. FtsZ is the prokaryotic homologue of tubulin, and is found in nearly all bacteria. In vitro, FtsZ polymerizes in the presence of GTP to form higher-ordered polymers. FtsZ consists of two domains, with the GTP-binding site located in the N-terminal domain. The...
