Abstract excerpt
In the differentiating bacterium Caulobacter crescentus, the cell division initiation protein FtsZ is present in only one of the two cell types. Stalked cells initiate a new round of DNA replication immediately after cell division and contain FtsZ, whereas the progeny swarmer cells are unable to initiate DNA replication and do not contain FtsZ. We show that FtsZ expression is controlled by cell cycle-dependent...
