FtsN, a late recruit to the septum in Escherichia coli.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Jul 1997

Addinall S G, Cao C, Lutkenhaus J

Abstract excerpt

The localization of FtsN in Escherichia coli was inves tigated by immunofluorescence microscopy. FtsN is an essential cell division protein with a simple bitopic topology, a short N-terminal cytoplasmic segment fused to a large carboxy periplasmic domain through a single transmembrane domain. FtsN was found to localize to the septum in a ring pattern similar to that observed for FtsZ and FtsA, although the...
