The Nucleoid Occlusion SlmA Protein Accelerates the Disassembly of the FtsZ Protein Polymers without Affecting Their GTPase Activity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Division site selection is achieved in bacteria by different mechanisms, one of them being nucleoid occlusion, which prevents Z-ring assembly nearby the chromosome. Nucleoid occlusion in E.

ZipA Uses a Two-Pronged FtsZ-Binding Mechanism Necessary for Cell Division
mBio, 2021 In most bacteria, cell division is centrally organized by the FtsZ protein, which assembles into dynamic filaments at the division site along the cell membrane that interact with other key cell division proteins.

SepG coordinates sporulation-specific cell division and nucleoid organization in Streptomyces coelicolor [PDF]
Open Biology, 2016 Bacterial cell division is a highly complex process that requires tight coordination between septum formation and chromosome replication and segregation.

Data_Sheet_2_Early origin and evolution of the FtsZ/tubulin protein family.ZIP
, 2023 The origin of the FtsZ/tubulin protein family was extremely relevant for life since these proteins are present in nearly all organisms, carrying out essential functions such as cell division or forming a major part of the cytoskeleton in eukaryotes ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 It is well-established that FtsZ drives peptidoglycan synthesis at the division site in walled bacteria. However, the function and conservation of FtsZ in wall-less prokaryotes such as mycoplasmas are less clear.

SlmA antagonism of FtsZ assembly employs a two-pronged mechanism like MinCD. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2014 Assembly of the Z-ring over unsegregated nucleoids is prevented by a process called nucleoid occlusion (NO), which in Escherichia coli is partially mediated by SlmA.

PLoS Genetics, 2014 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 serves as a scaffold for recruitment of the cell division machinery ...
