Frequency modulation of the Min-protein oscillator by nucleoid-associated factors in Escherichia coli.

Abstract excerpt

In E. coli, the Min-protein oscillator, together with the nucleoid occlusion (NO), destabilizes the Z-ring assembly away from the midcell to ensure faithful septation. These two inhibitory pathways are thought to be working independently for division site placement. Even though the Min-protein oscillator has been displayed by synthetic minimal systems, it is unclear the interplays of Min proteins and compartment...
