Peptide Linkers within the Essential FtsZ Membrane Tethers ZipA and FtsA Are Nonessential for Cell Division.

Journal of bacteriology - 25 Feb 2020

Schoenemann Kara M, Vega Daniel E, Margolin William

Abstract excerpt

Bacteria such as Escherichia coli divide by organizing filaments of FtsZ, a tubulin homolog that assembles into dynamic treadmilling membrane-associated protein filaments at the cell midpoint. FtsA and ZipA proteins are required to tether these filaments to the inner face of the cytoplasmic membrane, and loss of either tether is lethal. ZipA from E. coli and other closely related species harbors a long linker...
