FtsK Regulates the Assembly of the Division Machinery in the FtsZ-less Chlamydia trachomatis
… including FtsZ, the central coordinator of divisome assembly. In the absence of FtsZ, we show that divisome assembly in Ct is initiated by FtsK, a chromosomal translocase. Chlamydial FtsK forms discrete foci at the septum and at the base of the progenitor mother cell, and our data indicate …

Organization and Regulation of Proteins Required For Initiation of Cell Division In Escherichia Coli
… process of bacterial cell division relies on the assembly of multiple proteins to form the cell division machine, or “divisome.” FtsZ, a bacterial homolog of eukaryotic tubulin, forms a ring-like structure, the “Z ring,” at midcell and serves as a scaffold for divisome assembly and potential force …

The bacterial actin-like cell division protein FtsA forms antiparallel double filaments upon binding of FtsN
… of bacteria, cell division is carried out by the divisome, a multiprotein machine spanning the cell envelope. The divisome performs membrane invagination, peptidoglycan synthesis and remodelling, and eventually cell separation. Filaments of the tubulin homologue FtsZ form the scaffold for divisome …

Characterization of Ftsa-Ftsn Interaction During Escherichia Coli Cell Division
… into two equal daughter cells requires precise assembly and constriction of the division machinery, or divisome. The <em>Escherichia coli </em>divisome includes nearly a dozen essential cell division proteins that assemble at midcell between segregating sister chromosomes. FtsZ, a homolog of …

Functional Analysis of FtsA-Mediated Recruitment of FtsK in Escherichia coli
… cytoplasmic and periplasmic components of the divisome to ensure that membrane constriction and chromosome segregation occur in synchrony. The actin-like protein FtsA plays a central role in this process by tethering FtsZ to the membrane and recruiting downstream division proteins. Despite its …
