FtsZ, a bacterial homolog of tubulin, is well established as forming the cytoskeletal
framework for the cytokinetic ring. Recent work has shown that purified FtsZ, in the absence …

FtsZ is the key protein of bacterial cell division and an emergent target for new antibiotics. It
is a filament-forming GTPase and a structural homologue of eukaryotic tubulin. A number of …

FtsZ is a key molecule in bacterial cell division. In the presence of GTP, it polymerizes into
tubulin-like protofilaments by head-to-tail association. Protofilaments of FtsZ seem to adopt a …

Bacterial cell division in many organisms involves a constricting cytokinetic ring that is
orchestrated by the tubulin-like protein FtsZ. FtsZ forms dynamic filaments close to the …

Assembly of the cytoskeletal protein FtsZ into a ring‐like structure is required for bacterial
cell division. Structurally, FtsZ consists of four domains: the globular N‐terminal core, a …

In recent years, the rise of antibiotic resistance has become a primary health problem. With
the emergence of bacterial resistance, the need to explore and develop novel antibacterial …

Protein halogenation is a common non-enzymatic post-translational modification
contributing to aging, oxidative stress-related diseases and cancer. Here, we report a …

Cell division in almost all bacteria is orchestrated by the essential tubulin homologue FtsZ,
which assembles into a ring‐like structure and acts as a scaffold for the division machinery …

FtsZ is a prokaryotic homolog of tubulin and is a key molecule in bacterial cell division. FtsZ
with bound GTP polymerizes into tubulin-like protofilaments. Upon polymerization, the T7 …

Cell division protein FtsZ is the organizer of the cytokinetic Z-ring in most bacteria and a
target for new antibiotics. FtsZ assembles with GTP into filaments that hydrolyze the …
