Daughter cell separation is controlled by cytokinetic ring-activated cell wall hydrolysis.
During bacterial cytokinesis, hydrolytic enzymes are used to split wall material shared by adjacent daughter cells to promote their separation. Precise control over these enzymes is critical to prevent breaches in wall integrity that can cause cell lysis. How these potentially lethal hydrolases are regulated has remained unknown. Here, we investigate the regulation of cell wall turnover at the ...
متن کاملAn ATP-binding cassette transporter-like complex governs cell-wall hydrolysis at the bacterial cytokinetic ring.
ATP-binding cassette transporters are ubiquitous membrane protein complexes that move substrates across membranes. They do so using ATP-induced conformational changes in their nucleotide-binding domains to alter the conformation of the transport cavity formed by their transmembrane domains. In Escherichia coli, an ATP-binding cassette transporter-like complex composed of FtsE (nucleotide-bindin...
متن کاملFast Mechanically Driven Daughter Cell Separation Is Widespread in Actinobacteria
UNLABELLED Dividing cells of the coccoid Gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus undergo extremely rapid (millisecond) daughter cell separation (DCS) driven by mechanical crack propagation, a strategy that is very distinct from the gradual, enzymatically driven cell wall remodeling process that has been well described in several rod-shaped model bacteria. To determine if other bacteria, e...
متن کاملDaughter Centriole Elongation Is Controlled by Proteolysis
The centrosome is the major microtubule-organizing center of most mammalian cells and consists of a pair of centrioles embedded in pericentriolar material. Before mitosis, the two centrioles duplicate and two new daughter centrioles form adjacent to each preexisting maternal centriole. After initiation of daughter centriole synthesis, the procentrioles elongate in a process that is poorly under...
متن کاملFormin’ the cytokinetic ring
A ll animal and fungal cells assemble a contractile actomyosin ring to divide themselves in two at the end of mitosis. The rings are constructed from actin fi laments formed de novo at the division site and from fi laments that are assembled elsewhere in the cell and transported to the cleavage zone. Both types of fi lament are generated by actinnucleating formin proteins, but whether one sourc...
