ftsZ Antibody

1. FtsZ treadmilling guides the progressive insertion of new cell wall by building increasingly smaller concentric rings of peptidoglycan to divide the cell. PMID: 28209898
2. The presence of SpoIIE oligomers reduces FtsZ GTP hydrolysis activity and stabilizes FtsZ polymers in a light scattering assay. Combined, these results indicate that metal binding is not just required for SpoIIE phosphatase activity but also is important for SpoIIE's role in asymmetric septum formation. PMID: 28358838
3. MciZ, at substoichiometric levels to FtsZ, causes shortening of protofilaments and blocks the assembly of higher-order FtsZ structures. PMID: 25848052
4. An analysis of the effects of the N- and C-domains on FtsZ assembly indicated that the assembly of FtsZ might be directional. The work has provided new insight into the assembly characteristics of FtsZ domains and the mechanism of FtsZ polymerization. PMID: 24007276
5. The FtsZ C-terminus is required for the formation of tubules from FtsZ polymers by SepF rings in bacterial cell division. PMID: 22912848
6. This suggests that ZapA functions to promote the helix-to-ring transition of FtsZ by stimulating lateral FtsZ association. PMID: 19843223
7. ClpX functions as a general regulator of FtsZ assembly and cell division PMID: 15948963
8. YlmF is a new component of the FtsZ complex. PMID: 16796675
9. In addition to forming a cytokinetic ring, FtsZ localizes in a helical-like pattern in vegetatively growing cells of Bacillus subtilis. PMID: 17493130
10. The data together showed that EzrA binds to the C-terminal tail of FtsZ. FtsA, a positive regulator of FtsZ assembly, is also known to interact with the C-terminal tail of FtsZ. PMID: 17718511
11. The inhibitory effect of MinC on FtsZ polymerization is counteracted by the presence of ZapA, a protein that promotes FtsZ filament bundling. PMID: 18588879
