A landmark protein essential for establishing and perpetuating the polarity of a bacterial cell.

Cell - 10 Mar 2006

Lam Hubert, Schofield Whitman B, Jacobs-Wagner Christine

Abstract excerpt

Polarity is often an intrinsic property of the cell, yet little is known about its origin or its maintenance over generations. Here we identify a landmark protein, TipN, which acts as a spatial and temporal cue for setting up the correct polarity in the bacterium Caulobacter crescentus. TipN marks the new pole throughout most of the cell cycle, and its relocation to the nascent poles at the end of division...
