Assembly and architecture of Escherichia coli divisome proteins FtsA and FtsZ

Josiah J. Morrison et al.

Summary: During the cell division of Escherichia coli, the assembly of a cell division protein complex called the Z-ring at midcell plays a crucial role in constriction. FtsZ, a widely conserved tubulin homolog, is the main protein in the Z-ring, while FtsA, an actin homolog, binds to FtsZ and anchors the Z-ring to the cytoplasmic membrane. The study shows that ATP binding drives FtsA polymerization and membrane remodeling, and the assembly of FtsA and FtsZ polymers may serve as a key checkpoint in division.
