The N-terminal amphipathic helix of the topological specificity factor MinE is associated with shaping membrane curvature.

The N-terminal amphipathic helix of the topological specificity factor MinE is associated with shaping membrane curvature.

Pole-to-pole oscillations of the Min proteins in Escherichia coli are required for the proper placement of the division septum. Direct interaction of MinE with the cell membrane is critical for the dynamic behavior of the Min system. In vitro, this MinE-membrane interaction led to membrane deformati...
