Abstract excerpt
Bacterial cell division relies on the formation and contraction of the Z ring, coordinated and regulated by a dynamic protein complex called the divisome. The cell division factor ZapA interacts directly with FtsZ and thereby increases FtsZ protofilament association and Z-ring stability. Here, we investigated ZapB interaction with ZapA and its effect on Z-ring formation and FtsZ protofilament bundling. The...
