Coordinating Bacterial Cell Division with Nutrient Availability: a Role for Glycolysis
UNLABELLED Cell division in bacteria is driven by a cytoskeletal ring structure, the Z ring, composed of polymers of the tubulin-like protein FtsZ. Z-ring formation must be tightly regulated to ensure faithful cell division, and several mechanisms that influence the positioning and timing of Z-ring assembly have been described. Another important but as yet poorly understood aspect of cell divis...
متن کاملEmbryogenesis: Coordinating Cell Division with Gastrulation
Embryogenesis requires the production of sufficient cells, the correct placement of these cells within the embryo and the assignment to them of appropriate identities. Complications arise because cell division and cell migration seem incompatible. Mitosis requires the assembly and disassembly of a complex microtubule network to ensure faithful DNA segregation, and cytokinesis requires remodelin...
متن کاملA nutrient uptake role for bacterial cell envelope extensions.
Bacteria exist in a variety of morphologies, but the relationship between cellular forms and biological functions remains poorly understood. We show that stalks (prosthecae), cylindrical extensions of the Caulobacter crescentus cell envelope, can take up and hydrolyze organic phosphate molecules and contain the high-affinity phosphate-binding protein PstS, but not PstA, a protein that is requir...
متن کاملCoordinating cell polarity with cell division in space and time.
Decisions of when and where to divide are crucial for cell survival and fate, and for tissue organization and homeostasis. The temporal coordination of mitotic events during cell division is essential to ensure that each daughter cell receives one copy of the genome. The spatial coordination of these events is also crucial because the cytokinetic furrow must be aligned with the axis of chromoso...
متن کاملChanges in the oligomerization potential of the division inhibitor UgtP co-ordinate Bacillus subtilis cell size with nutrient availability.
How cells co-ordinate size with growth and development is a major, unresolved question in cell biology. In previous work we identified the glucosyltransferase UgtP as a division inhibitor responsible for increasing the size of Bacillus subtilis cells under nutrient-rich conditions. In nutrient-rich medium, UgtP is distributed more or less uniformly throughout the cytoplasm and concentrated at t...
