FtsZ ring formation in fts mutants.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jul 1996

Addinall S G, Bi E, Lutkenhaus J

Abstract excerpt

The formation of FtsZ rings (Z rings) in various fts mutants was examined by immunoelectron microscopy and immunofluorescence. In two temperature-sensitive ftsZ mutants which form filaments with smooth morphology, the Z ring was unable to form. In ftsA, ftsI, and ftsQ mutants, which form filaments with an indented morphology, Z rings formed but their contraction was blocked. These results indicate that fully...
