In vitro reconstitution of Escherichia coli divisome activation
In E. coli, FtsA and FtsZ control the place and time of cell division. Here, the authors use in vitro experiments to show how FtsA can follow FtsZ treadmilling and that downstream proteins form dynamic copolymers with FtsA to initiate division.
