FtsZ is a protein encoded by the ftsZ gene that assembles into a ring at the future site of bacterial cell division FtsZ is a prokaryotic homologue of the ...

Cell division protein FtsZ - Escherichia coli (strain K12) | UniProtKB

Essential cell division protein that forms a contractile ring structure (Z ring) at the future cell division site. The regulation of the ring assembly ...

FTSZ AND THE DIVISION OF PROKARYOTIC CELLS AND ...

Most prokaryotes use a tubulin homologue, a protein known as FtsZ, to divide. Eukaryotic organelles such as chloroplasts and mitochondria evolved from bacteria, ...

The bacterial cell division proteins FtsA and FtsZ self-organize into ...

Bacterial cytokinesis is commonly initiated by the Z-ring, a cytoskeletal structure that assembles at the site of division.

FtsZ Protein - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics

FtsZ is a homologue of tubulin, the protein which in eukaryotes is involved in cytoskeleton structure. FtsZ is highly conserved and present in all bacteria and ...

Redefining the roles of the FtsZ-ring in bacterial cytokinesis - PMC

In most bacteria, cell division relies on the functions of an essential protein, FtsZ. FtsZ polymerizes at the future division site to form a ring-like ...

6.6B: Fts Proteins and Cell Division - Biology LibreTexts

FtsZ is a protein encoded by the ftsZ gene that assembles into a ring at the future site of the septum of bacterial cell division. This is a ...

FtsZ - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics

2 Ftsz protein. The FtsZ, a eukaryotic tubulin analogue, playing important role in bacterial cell division, has been a promising target for the discovery of ...

Crystal structure of the bacterial cell-division protein FtsZ - Nature

Bacterial cell division ends with septation, the constriction of the cell wall and cell membranes that leads to the formation of two ...

Complex state transitions of the bacterial cell division protein FtsZ

We analyzed state transitions of Staphylococcus aureus FtsZ as a monomer, dimer, and hexamer. We found that monomers can adopt intermediate states but ...

Colocalization of cell division proteins FtsZ and FtsA to cytoskeletal ...

We report that FtsZ and FtsA proteins tagged with green fluorescent protein (GFP) colocalize to division-site ring-like structures in living bacterial cells.

The structural assembly switch of cell division protein FtsZ probed ...

FtsZ is a widely conserved tubulin-like GTPase that directs bacterial cell division and a new target for antibiotic discovery. This protein assembly machine ...

A conserved cell division protein directly regulates FtsZ dynamics in ...

We show that SepH is crucially involved in cell division in Streptomyces venezuelae and that it binds FtsZ via a conserved helix-turn-helix motif, stimulating ...

Cell Division Protein FtsZ: From Structure and Mechanism to ...

We here review the structural and biochemical features of the central division protein FtsZ as well as its role in the course of division.

Targeting the Assembly of Bacterial Cell Division Protein FtsZ with ...

FtsZ is the key protein of bacterial cell division and an emergent target for new antibiotics. It is a filament-forming GTPase and a ...

ZapE Is a Novel Cell Division Protein Interacting with FtsZ and ...

The bacterial cell division process relies on the assembly, positioning, and constriction of FtsZ ring (the so-called Z-ring). Among ...

Prokaryotic cell division protein FtsZ - UMass Amherst

Exploring structure and function of FtsZ, a prokaryotic cell division protein and tubulin-homologue by GJ McCool, a graduate student in the Department of ...

Assembly Dynamics of the Bacterial Cell Division Protein FtsZ

Abstract FtsZ is a prokaryotic tubulin homolog that assembles into a ring at the future site of cell division. The resulting “Z ring” forms ...

Direct interaction between the cell division protein FtsZ and the cell ...

We demonstrate that the two proteins interact directly and that domain II and possibly domain I of SpoIIE are required for the interaction.

Mutations in the bacterial cell division protein FtsZ highlight the role ...

Assembly of the tubulin-like GTPase, FtsZ, at the future division site initiates the process of bacterial cytokinesis. The FtsZ ring serves ...
