Particular Amino Acid on Lateral Interface Maintains FtsZ Function Under Acid Stress in <i>Streptococcus mutans</i>

2025-01-27

Abstract excerpt

FtsZ is the core protein for cell division in bacteria that can polymerize into Z-rings and drive cytokinesis. Understanding how bacteria maintain the correct function of FtsZ under various environmental stresses is crucial for novel antibacterial drug discovery. Our previous study revealed that the FtsZ in S. mutans has higher self-assembly and GTPase activity under acidic stress, which may be responsible for th...
