Assembly of the FtsZ ring at the central division site in the absence of the chromosome.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Jul 1998

Sun Q, Yu X C, Margolin W

Abstract excerpt

The FtsZ ring assembles between segregated daughter chromosomes in prokaryotic cells and is essential for cell division. To understand better how the FtsZ ring is influenced by chromosome positioning and structure in Escherichia coli, we investigated its localization in parC and mukB mutants that are defective for chromosome segregation. Cells of both mutants at non-permissive temperatures were either filamentous...
