The bacterial cell division protein FtsZ assembles into cytoplasmic rings in fission yeast.

Genes & development - 1 Jul 2008

Abstract excerpt

During cytokinesis, most bacteria assemble a ring-like structure that is composed of the tubulin homolog FtsZ. The mechanisms regulating assembly and organization of FtsZ molecules into rings are not fully understood. Here, we express bacterial FtsZ in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe and find that FtsZ filaments assemble into cytoplasmic rings. Investigation of the Escherichia coli FtsZ revealed that...
