Roles of ATP Hydrolysis by FtsEX and Interaction with FtsA in Regulation of Septal Peptidoglycan Synthesis and Hydrolysis
ABSTRACT In Escherichia coli, FtsEX coordinates peptidoglycan (PG) synthesis and hydrolysis at the septum. It acts on FtsA in the cytoplasm to promote recruitment of septal PG synthetases and recruits EnvC, an activator of septal PG hydrolases, in the periplasm. Following recruitment, ATP hydrolysis...
