Suppression of a Thermosensitive zipA Cell Division Mutant by Altering Amino Acid Metabolism.

Journal of bacteriology - 15 Jan 2018

Vega Daniel E, Margolin William

Abstract excerpt

ZipA is essential for cell division in Escherichia coli, acting early in the process to anchor polymers of FtsZ to the cytoplasmic membrane. Along with FtsA, FtsZ and ZipA form a proto-ring at midcell that recruits additional proteins to eventually build the division septum. Cells carrying the thermosensitive zipA1 allele divide fairly normally at 30°C in rich medium but cease dividing at temperatures above 34°C,...
