Bacterial Division: Journey to the Center of the Cell [PDF]

Current Biology, 2020
Most bacteria divide by corralling the tubulin-like FtsZ protein to mid-cell, where it assembles into a ring of treadmilling membrane-tethered oligomers. A study in this issue reveals new details about how FtsZ finds its way to the ring.

Septins Recognize and Entrap Dividing Bacterial Cells for Delivery to Lysosomes. [PDF]

, 2018
The cytoskeleton occupies a central role in cellular immunity by promoting bacterial sensing and antibacterial functions. Septins are cytoskeletal proteins implicated in various cellular processes, including cell division. Septins also assemble into cage-

Use of the Sucrose Gradient Method for Bacterial Cell Cycle Synchronization

Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2012
Although many undergraduate and graduate Cell and Molecular Biology courses study the bacterial cell cycle and the mechanisms that regulate prokaryotic cell division, few laboratory projects exist for the enhanced study of cell cycle characteristics in a

Streptococcus suis MsmK: Novel Cell Division Protein Interacting with FtsZ and Maintaining Cell Shape

mSphere, 2021
Bacterial cell division is a highly ordered process regulated in time and space and is a potential target for the development of antimicrobial drugs. Bacteria of distinct shapes depend on different cell division mechanisms, but the mechanisms used by ...

A previously uncharacterized divisome-associated lipoprotein, DalA, is needed for normal cell division in Rhodobacterales

mBio, 2023
The bacterial cell envelope is a key subcellular compartment with important roles in antibiotic resistance, nutrient acquisition, and cell morphology. We seek to gain a better understanding of proteins that contribute to the function of the cell envelope

FtsK – a bacterial cell division checkpoint? [PDF]

Molecular Microbiology, 2010
SummaryFtsK is a multifunctional, multidomain protein that acts to co‐ordinate chromosome unlinking, segregation and cell division. In this issue of Molecular Microbiology, the report by Dubarry et al. reveals new insight into the surprisingly complex relationship between the different activities of FtsK.

The morphogenic protein CopD controls the spatio-temporal dynamics of PBP1a and PBP2b in Streptococcus pneumoniae

mBio, 2023
Penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) are key to the assembly of peptidoglycan, the major component of the bacterial cell wall. Although several PBP-specific regulatory proteins have been identified in different species, little is known about how the ...

Bacterial cell division and the septal ring [PDF]

Molecular Microbiology, 2004
SummaryCell 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. The foundation of the septal ring is a polymer of the tubulin‐like protein FtsZ.

Nutrient-Dependent Trade-Offs between Ribosomes and Division Protein Synthesis Control Bacterial Cell Size and Growth

Cell Reports, 2020
Summary: Cell size control emerges from a regulated balance between the rates of cell growth and division. In bacteria, simple quantitative laws connect cellular growth rate to ribosome abundance.

Surfactant-free purification of membrane protein complexes from bacteria: application to the staphylococcal penicillin-binding protein complex PBP2/PBP2a. [PDF]

, 2014
Surfactant-mediated removal of proteins from biomembranes invariably results in partial or complete loss of function and disassembly of multi-protein complexes. We determined the capacity of styrene-co-maleic acid (SMA) co-polymer to remove components of
