Structural Analysis of the Interaction between the Bacterial Cell Division Proteins FtsQ and FtsB

In most bacteria and archaea, filaments of FtsZ protein organize cell division. FtsZ forms a ring structure at the division site and starts the recruitment of 10 to 20 downstream proteins that together form a multiprotein complex termed the divisome. The divisome is thought to facilitate many of the...
