Asymmetric localization of proteins is essential to many biological functions of bacteria.
Shigella IcsA, an outer membrane protein, is localized to the old pole of the bacillus, where it …

FtsN is a bitopic membrane protein and the last essential component to localize to the E
scherichia coli cell division machinery, or divisome. The periplasmic SPOR domain of FtsN …

Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular parasite, occupies a membrane‐bound
vacuole throughout development and is capable of manipulating the eukaryotic host by …

FtsI (also called PBP3) of Escherichia coli is a transpeptidase required for synthesis of
peptidoglycan in the division septum and is one of several proteins that localize to the septal …

In most bacteria cell division is mediated by a protein super‐complex called the divisome
that co‐ordinates the constriction and scission of the cell envelope. FtsZ is the first of the …

The bacterial cell division machinery is organized in the so‐called divisome composed of
highly dynamic but low abundant interacting (membrane‐bound) proteins. In order to …

In Escherichia coli, at least 12 proteins colocalize to the cell midpoint, assembling into a
membrane‐associated protein machine that forms the division septum. Many of these …

Assembly of the essential, tubulin-like FtsZ protein into a ring-shaped structure at the
nascent division site determines the timing and position of cytokinesis in most bacteria and …

Septation in Escherichia coli requires several gene products. One of these, FtsQ, is a simple
bitopic membrane protein with a short cytoplasmic N terminus, a membrane-spanning …

Cell division in Escherichia coli requires the recruitment of at least 10 essential proteins to
the bacterial midcell. Recruitment of these proteins follows a largely linear dependency …
