Biological Insights from a Simulation Model of the Critical FtsZ Accumulation Required for Prokaryotic Cell Division.

Biochemistry - 23 Jun 2015

Dow Claire E, van den Berg Hugo A, Roper David I, Rodger Alison

Abstract excerpt

A simulation model of prokaryotic Z-ring assembly, based on the observed behavior of FtsZ in vitro as well as on in vivo parameters, is used to integrate critical processes in cell division. According to the model, the cell's ability to divide depends on a "contraction parameter" (χ) that links the force of contraction to the dynamics of FtsZ. This parameter accurately predicts the outcome of division. Evaluating...
