Dynamic assembly, disassembly and bundling of the bacterial cell division protein FtsZ and YgfE (ZapA)
The protein FtsZ is a tubulin-like GTPase, which plays an essential role in prokaryotic cell division. In vivo it assembles into a dynamic ring (the Z-ring) at the future site of cell division on the inner surface of the cytoplasmatic membrane. The Z-ring then serves as a scaffold which recruits all...
