Bacillus subtilis MinC destabilizes FtsZ-rings at new cell poles and contributes to the timing of cell division.

Genes & development - 15 Dec 2008

Gregory James A, Becker Eric C, Pogliano Kit

Abstract excerpt

Division site selection in rod-shaped bacteria depends on nucleoid occlusion, which prevents division over the chromosome and MinCD, which prevent division at the poles. MinD is thought to localize MinC to the cell poles where it prevents FtsZ assembly. Time-lapse microscopy demonstrates that in Bacillus subtilis transient polar FtsZ rings assemble adjacent to recently completed septa and that in minCD strains...
