Wag31, a homologue of the cell division protein DivIVA, regulates growth, morphology and polar cell wall synthesis in mycobacteria.
The Mycobacterium tuberculosis genome contains 11 serine/threonine kinase genes, and the products of two of these, PknA and PknB, are key components of a signal transduction pathway that regulates cell division and/or morphology. Previously, we have shown that one substrate of these kinases is Wag31, a homologue of the cell division protein DivIVA that is present, but not known to be phosphoryl...
متن کاملPlant Development: PXY and Polar Cell Division in the Procambium
The vascular stem-cell tissue known as procambium generates phloem cells on one side and xylem cells on the other. The Arabidopsis PXY gene encodes a leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinase that is required for polar divisions of procambial cells.
متن کاملCoupling of asymmetric division to polar placement of replication origin regions in Bacillus subtilis.
Entry into sporulation in Bacillus subtilis is characterized by the formation of a polar septum, which asymmetrically divides the developing cell into forespore (the smaller cell) and mother cell compartments, and by migration of replication origin regions to extreme opposite poles of the cell. Here we show that polar septation is closely correlated with movement of replication origins to the e...
متن کاملAsymmetric cell division: Plane but not simple
The polarity of sensory bristles on the thorax of Drosophila is linked to the orientation of the asymmetric cell divisions that partition cell fate determinants in this lineage. The orientation of these divisions is under the control of the Frizzled pathway that generates planar polarity in a number of cell types.
متن کاملhTPX2 Is Required for Normal Spindle Morphology and Centrosome Integrity during Vertebrate Cell Division
Bipolar spindle formation is essential for the accurate segregation of genetic material during cell division. Although centrosomes influence the number of spindle poles during mitosis, motor and non-motor microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) also play key roles in determining spindle morphology. TPX2 is a novel MAP also characterized in Xenopus cell-free extracts. To examine hTPX2 (human TPX2...
