A Polymerization-Associated Structural Switch in FtsZ That Enables Treadmilling of Model Filaments
Bacterial cell division in many organisms involves a constricting cytokinetic ring that is orchestrated by the tubulin-like protein FtsZ. FtsZ forms dynamic filaments close to the membrane at the site of division that have recently been shown to treadmill around the division ring, guiding septal wal...
