minD Antibody

1. a membrane anchored MinC/MinD complex is targeted to the Z ring through the conserved carboxy tail of FtsZ leading to breakage of FtsZ filaments. PMID: 26268537
2. The authors observed regular end-to-end oscillation over very short distances along the long axes of minicells, supporting the importance of geometry in MinD localization. PMID: 20543068
3. average ATP consumption rate per unit length, which is proportional to the ATP consumption rate per MinD, increases with cell length until the transition from stochastic switching to regular oscillations and then remains roughly constant. PMID: 20308588
4. there are rapid and substantial increases in the average MinD oscillation periods in the presence of any of the polyvalent cations Ca++, Mg++, protamine and gentamicin PMID: 19789705
5. ATPase activity of MinD activated by positioning of MinE binding site on MinD surface during division site selection. PMID: 15458408
6. lys 11 required for interaction of MinD with membrane, MinC, MinE & itself; the 3 residues in helix 7 that interact with lys 11 not required for binding to the membrane, activation of MinC or binding MinE but are required for MinE to stimulate MinD ATPase PMID: 15629934
7. the Min proteins are capable of establishing an axis of oscillation that is the initial step in establishment of polarity in spherical cells PMID: 16262780
8. it was observed that the oscillation period of MinD within rod-like and filamentous cells of Escherichia coli varied by a factor of 4 in the temperature range from 20 degrees C to 40 degrees C PMID: 16936014
9. In vivo measurements of the mobility of MinD and MinE using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy shows 2 distinct timescales; the diffusion constant of cytoplasmic MinD to be approximately 16 microm(2) s(-1). PMID: 17200601
10. Min proteins undergo a periodic pole-to-pole oscillation that involves polymerization and ATPase activity of MinD under the controlling influence of MinE. PMID: 17483175
11. Reports show that both MinD and FtsZ readily assembled on intracytoplasmic membrane surfaces, and this contributes significantly to the lethal division block seen in all shape mutants under nonpermissive conditions. PMID: 17993535
12. Overproduction of MinC in the presence of MinD inhibits assembly of Z rings. PMID: 19415799
