Treadmilling FtsZ polymers drive the directional movement of sPG-synthesis enzymes via a Brownian ratchet mechanism

Joshua W. McCausland et al.

Summary: The FtsZ protein is a key component in bacterial cell division, driving the movement of enzymes that synthesize septal peptidoglycan through treadmilling dynamics. This directional movement is dependent on the binding potential between FtsZ and the enzyme, as well as the balance between enzyme diffusion and FtsZ's treadmilling speed.

FtsZ dynamics in bacterial division: What, how, and why?

Jordan M. Barrows et al.

Summary: Bacterial cell division is coordinated by the divisome, with FtsZ playing a central role. Recent studies have shown that the dynamics of FtsZ are regulated by intrinsic properties of FtsZ and the membrane anchoring protein FtsA. While FtsZ dynamics are broadly required for Z-ring assembly, their role during constriction may vary among bacterial species.

Single-molecule imaging reveals that Z-ring condensation is essential for cell division in Bacillus subtilis

Georgia R. Squyres et al.

Summary: This study used live-cell single-molecule imaging to reveal that the divisome consists of two subcomplexes, showing that different components move differently. FtsZ-binding proteins were found to play a crucial role in bundling FtsZ filaments together to form Z rings, which are essential for cytokinesis.

Streptococcus suis MsmK: Novel Cell Division Protein Interacting with FtsZ and Maintaining Cell Shape

Mei-Fang Tan et al.

Summary: Bacteria utilize different mechanisms to coordinate morphogenesis and chromosome segregation before cell division. In this study, MsmK, an ATPase, was identified as a novel cell division protein in Streptococcus suis, interacting with FtsZ and promoting FtsZ protofilament bundling in a GTP-dependent manner. MsmK plays a crucial role in maintaining cell shape and peripheral peptidoglycan synthesis in bacterial cells.

The Arabidopsis thaliana chloroplast division protein FtsZ1 counterbalances FtsZ2 filament stability in vitro

Katie J. Porter et al.

Summary: The division of bacterial cells and chloroplasts is driven by a contractile Z ring formed by FtsZ. In plants, the chloroplast Z ring consists of two FtsZ proteins, FtsZ1 and FtsZ2, with complex biochemical interactions. FtsZ1 counterbalances FtsZ2 filament stability and restrains FtsZ2 self-assembly in the regulation of chloroplast Z-ring dynamics.
