Chloroplast Z-ring dynamics is governed by conserved core regions of evolutionarily divergent FtsZs

The chloroplast FtsZ ring (Z ring) is assembled by two distinct FtsZ proteins, FtsZ2 and FtsZ1 (referred to as FtsZA and FtsZB in red algae). FtsZ2 confers stability to the Z ring, while FtsZ1 enhances its dynamics. Enhanced Z-ring dynamics is essential for Z-ring remodeling, which drives chloroplas...
