Dimerization or oligomerization of the actin-like FtsA protein enhances the integrity of the cytokinetic Z ring.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Dec 2007

Shiomi Daisuke, Margolin William

Abstract excerpt

In bacteria, the actin-like FtsA protein interacts with the tubulin-like FtsZ protein, helping to assemble the cytokinetic Z ring, anchor it to the cytoplasmic membrane and recruit other essential divisome proteins. FtsA also interacts with itself, but it is not clear whether this self-interaction is required for its full functionality. Here we describe new dominant negative missense mutations in Escherichia coli...
