Cardiolipin (CL) plays a key role in dynamic organization of bacterial and mitochondrial
membranes. CL forms membrane domains in bacterial cells, and these domains appear to …

Bacterial cell division is mediated by the divisome which is organized by the Z ring, a
cytoskeletal element formed by the polymerization of the tubulin homologue FtsZ. Despite …

Growth of the mesh-like peptidoglycan (PG) sacculus located between the bacterial inner
and outer membranes (OM) is tightly regulated to ensure cellular integrity, maintain cell …

To maintain cellular structure and integrity during division, Gram-negative bacteria must
carefully coordinate constriction of a tripartite cell envelope of inner membrane …

Summary Cell division proteins FtsZ (FtsA, ZipA, ZapA), FtsE/X, FtsK, FtsQ, FtsL/B, FtsW,
PBP3, FtsN and AmiC localize at mid cell in Escherichia coli in an interdependent order as …

Bacterial diseases are among the leading causes of human death. The development of
antibiotic resistance greatly contributes to the high mortality rate, and thus, the discovery of …

FtsZ, a GTPase distributed in the cytoplasm of most bacteria, is the major component of the
machinery responsible for division (the divisome) in Escherichia coli. It interacts with …

ADP-ribosylation of proteins can profoundly impact their function and serves as an effective
mechanism by which bacterial toxins impair eukaryotic cell processes. Here, we report the …

Cell division in bacteria is mediated by the septal ring, a collection of about a dozen (known)
proteins that localize to the division site, where they direct assembly of the division septum …

Growth of the bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan sacculus requires the co‐ordinated activities
of peptidoglycan synthases, hydrolases and cell morphogenesis proteins, but the details of …
