Abstract excerpt
Cell division in nearly all bacteria is initiated by polymerization of the conserved tubulin-like protein FtsZ into a ring-like structure at midcell. This Z-ring functions as a scaffold for a group of conserved proteins that execute the synthesis of the division septum (the divisome). Here we describe the identification of a new cell division protein in Bacillus subtilis. This protein is conserved in Gram...
