Heat shock proteins IbpA and IbpB are required for NlpI-participated cell division in Escherichia coli

Lipoprotein NlpI of Escherichia coli is involved in the cell division, virulence and bacterial interaction with eukaryotic host cells. To elucidate the functional mechanism of NlpI, we examined how NlpI affects cell division and found that induction of NlpI inhibits nucleoid division and halts cell...
