Identification of a region of FtsA required for interaction with FtsZ.

Molecular microbiology - 1 May 2007

Pichoff Sebastien, Lutkenhaus Joe

Abstract excerpt

The assembly of the Z ring is the earliest step in bacterial cell division. In Escherichia coli this assembly requires either FtsA or ZipA which bind to a conserved, C-terminal 17 amino acid motif in FtsZ and to the membrane. The FtsZ-ZipA interaction is well characterized; however, nothing is known about the region of FtsA involved in the interaction with FtsZ even though the FtsA-FtsZ interaction is nearly...
