N-terminus GTPase domain of the cytoskeleton protein FtsZ plays a critical role in its adaptation to high hydrostatic pressure

Studies in model microorganisms showed that cell division is highly vulnerable to high hydrostatic pressure (HHP). Disassembly of FtsZ filaments induced by HHP results in the failure of cell division and formation of filamentous cells in E. coli. The specific characteristics of FtsZ that allow for f...
