Cell division is the most dynamic event in the cell cycle. Recently, efforts have been made to
reconstruct it using the individual component proteins to obtain a better understanding of the …

ZipA is an essential cell division protein in Escherichia coli. Together with FtsA, ZipA tethers
dynamic polymers of FtsZ to the cytoplasmic membrane, and these polymers are required to …

Two key tasks of the bacterial septal-ring (SR) machinery during cell constriction are the
generation of an inward-growing annulus of septal peptidoglycan (sPG) and the concomitant …

Streptococcus is a genus of oval-shaped bacteria that act as both commensals and
pathogens. Streptococcal infections are relevant to high morbidity and huge socioeconomic …

The Min system of proteins, consisting of MinC, MinD and MinE, is essential for normal cell
division in Escherichia coli. MinC forms a polar gradient to restrict placement of the division …
