Bacterial Cell Division: The Cycle of the Ring
Lawrence I. Rothfield and Sheryl S. Justice we may beclosing in on the prey. In a recent issue of Cell, Hale and de Boer (1997) described a newly identified Department of Microbiology University of Connecticut Health Center integral membrane protein, ZipA, that emerged from a direct search for genes coding for proteins that interact Farmington, Connecticut 06030 with FtsZ. ZipA has several prop...

متن کاملBacterial Division: The Fellowship of The Ring
The Z ring, composed of the tubulin homolog FtsZ, is essential for bacterial cell division. Recently a new protein, ZapA, has been discovered that localizes to the Z ring and stabilizes it, probably by promoting the bundling of FtsZ protofilaments.
متن کاملBacterial Cell Division: A Swirling Ring to Rule Them All?
FtsZ, a tubulin homologue and the major constituent of the bacterial Z ring, has been shown to assemble into curved filament bundles, which exhibit GTP-hydrolysis-dependent turnover. Surprisingly, the presence of its membrane adaptor FtsA renders this turnover directional, inducing treadmilling and collective circular motion of filaments in vitro.
متن کاملBacterial Division: Another Way to Box in the Ring
Proper placement of the cell division site in some rod-shaped bacteria requires two different negative regulatory systems, nucleoid occlusion and the Min proteins. Caulobacter crescentus lacks these systems, but recent work has uncovered a novel regulator that achieves the same goals.
