The Stress-Active Cell Division Protein ZapE Alters FtsZ Filament Architecture to Facilitate Division in Escherichia coli

During pathogenic infections, bacterial cells experience environmental stress conditions, including low oxygen and thermal stress. Bacterial cells proliferate during infection and divide by a mechanism characterized by the assembly of a large cytoskeletal structure at the division site called the Z-...
