The bacterial actin-like cell division protein FtsA forms antiparallel double filaments upon binding of FtsN
… divisome assembly in the cytoplasm, the Z ring. Actin like FtsA tethers FtsZ to the inner membrane and facilitates recruitment of downstream divisome components. The late divisome component FtsN is a bitopic membrane protein that activates peptidoglycan synthesis. Recent genetic studies have …

Actin-like filament A (AlfA) and AlfA-driven plasmid segregation
… it was proposed that bacteria might contain actin and tubulin homologs. Cell biology and structural biology research within the last two decades led to a paradigm shift in our understanding of the cytoskeleton. Discovery of actin and tubulin homologs in bacteria that can form filaments upon …

The Role of Human Guanylate Binding Proteins in Host Defense and Inflammation
… and a number of other cytosolic bacteria promote bacterial dissemination by hijacking host actin cytoskeleton machinery to form actin comet tails which emanate from one pole of the bacterium and provide mechanical force to propel bacterium-containing extensions into neighboring cells. I found that …
