FtsK is critical for the assembly of the unique divisome complex of the FtsZ-less Chlamydia trachomatis

Chlamydia trachomatis serovar L2 (Ct), an obligate intracellular bacterium that does not encode FtsZ, divides by a polarized budding process. In the absence of FtsZ, we show that FtsK, a chromosomal translocase, is critical for divisome assembly in Ct. Chlamydial FtsK forms discrete foci at the sept...
