Nucleotide-dependent activities of FtsA regulate the early establishment of a functional divisome during the Escherichia coli cell cycle
During cell division in Escherichia coli, the highly conserved tubulin homolog FtsZ polymerizes and assembles into a ring-like structure, called the Z-ring, at the site of septation. For recruitment to the membrane surface, FtsZ polymers directly interact with membrane-associated proteins, predomina...
