Nucleoid occlusion and bacterial cell division
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2011The bacterial cell cycle requires the tight regulation and precise coordination of several sophisticated cellular processes. Prominent among them is the formation of the dividing wall or septum, which has to take place at the right time and place to ensure equality of the progeny and integrity of the genome.

Genomic channeling in bacterial cell division
Journal of Molecular Recognition, 2004AbstractThe bacterial dcw cluster is a group of genes involved in cell division and peptidoglycan synthesis. Comparison of the cluster across several bacterial genomes shows that its gene content and its gene order are conserved in distant bacterial lineages and, moreover, that, being most conserved in rod‐shaped bacteria, the degree of conservation ...

BACTERIAL CELL DIVISION AND THE Z RING
Annual Review of Biochemistry, 1997Bacterial cell division occurs through the formation of an FtsZ ring (Z ring) at the site of division. The ring is composed of the tubulin-like FtsZ protein that has GTPase activity and the ability to polymerize in vitro. The Z ring is thought to function in vivo as a cytoskeletal element that is analogous to the contractile ring in many eukaryotic ...

Annual Review of Genetics, 1999
▪ Abstract Formation of the bacterial division septum is catalyzed by a number of essential proteins that assemble into a ring structure at the future division site. Assembly of proteins into the cytokinetic ring appears to occur in a hierarchial order that is initiated by the FtsZ protein, a structural and functional analog of eukaryotic tubulins ...

The physiology of bacterial cell division
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2012Bacterial cell division is facilitated by the divisome, a dynamic multiprotein assembly localizing at mid‐cell to synthesize the stress‐bearing peptidoglycan and to constrict all cell envelope layers. Divisome assembly occurs in two steps and involves multiple interactions between more than 20 essential and accessory cell division proteins. Well before

On the chronology and topography of bacterial cell division
Research in Microbiology, 1991Gene products that play a role in the formation of cell septum should be expected to be endowed with a set of specific properties. In principle, septal proteins should be located at the cell envelope. The expression of division genes should ensure the synthesis of septal proteins at levels commensurate with the needs of cell division at different rates

Annual Review of Cell and Developmental Biology, 1997
▪ Abstract Bacteria usually divide by building a central septum across the middle of the cell. This review focuses on recent results indicating that the tubulin-like FtsZ protein plays a central role in cytokinesis as a major component of a contractile cytoskeleton.

FtsZ and bacterial cell division
Cell and Tissue Biology, 2007In this review we describe proteins and supermolecular structures which take part in the division of bacterial cells. FtsZ, a eukaryotic tubulin homolog is a key cell division protein in most prokaryotes. FtsZ, as well as tubulin, is capable of binding and hydrolyzing GTP. The division of a bacterial cell begins with the forming of a so-called divisome.

Mechanisms of Bacterial Cell Division
Microbiology, 2019Despite numerous studies, gaps still remain in our understanding of bacterial cell division. This review describes the basic mechanisms responsible for division of the bacterial cell and coordination of this process in space and time. Attention is concentrated on such well-studied, model microorganisms as gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli and ...

Differentiation of the Bacterial Cell Division Site
1989Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the differentiation of the bacterial cell division site. The division site has a developmental history in which the stages of genesis, maturation, and localization, and ultimate fate are considered. The chapter describes the evidence obtained from several disciplines: genetics, microscopy, and biochemistry. In
