Escherichia coli ZipA Organizes FtsZ Polymers into Dynamic Ring-Like Protofilament Structures
ZipA is an essential cell division protein in Escherichia coli. Together with FtsA, ZipA tethers dynamic polymers of FtsZ to the cytoplasmic membrane, and these polymers are required to guide synthesis of the cell division septum. This dynamic behavior of FtsZ has been reconstituted on planar lipid...
