Assembly dynamics of the bacterial MinCDE system and spatial regulation of the Z ring.

Annual review of biochemistry - 1 Jan 2007

Lutkenhaus Joe

Abstract excerpt

The positioning of a cytoskeletal element that dictates the division plane is a fundamental problem in biology. The assembly and positioning of this cytoskeletal element has to be coordinated with DNA segregation and cell growth to ensure that equal-sized progeny cells are produced, each with a copy of the chromosome. In most prokaryotes, cytokinesis involves positioning a Z ring assembled from FtsZ, the...
