FisB relies on homo-oligomerization and lipid binding to catalyze membrane fission in bacteria.

FisB relies on homo-oligomerization and lipid binding to catalyze membrane fission in bacteria.

Little is known about mechanisms of membrane fission in bacteria despite their requirement for cytokinesis. The only known dedicated membrane fission machinery in bacteria, fission protein B (FisB), is expressed during sporulation in Bacillus subtilis and is required to release the developing spore...
