Investigating the effect of bacteriophages on bacterial FtsZ localisation
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 Escherichia coli is one of the most common Gram-negative pathogens and is responsible for infection leading to neonatal meningitis and sepsis. The FtsZ protein is a bacterial tubulin homolog required for cell division in most species, including E.

Archaeal Cytoskeletal Protein CetZ1 Influences Assembly of the Motility Machinery
Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.The Haloferax volcanii tubulin‐like protein CetZ1 is required for rod‐cell morphogenesis and motility. We show that CetZ1 loss or GTPase inactivation impairs assembly of the motility machinery, including the archaellum base protein ArlD, the chemotaxis adaptor CheW1, and the response regulator CheY.

FtsZ-K190V and FtsZ-D86N bind SlmA.
, 2014 A) SBS17-30mer bound SlmA co-sediments with stable FtsZ polymers formed with GMPCPP. Polymerization assays were performed as in Fig. 3A except that the protein concentration was 5 µM and GTP was replaced by GMPCPP.

Progression of the late-stage divisome is unaffected by the depletion of the cytoplasmic FtsZ pool
Communications Biology, 2021 Silber, Mayer, and colleagues examine how the depletion of the cytoplasmic FtsZ pool, triggered by ADEP antibiotics, affects the different stages of divisome formation and progression in Bacillus subtilis.

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.This study characterizes the bacteriome of Polygenis (Polygenis) bohlsi bohlsi fleas collected from free‐living Thrichomys fosteri in the Pantanal region of Brazil. The bacterial microbiota associated with male fleas exhibited greater phylogenetic diversity, and the overall community structure differed between the flea sexes.

Life without Division: Physiology of
mBio, 2016 When deprived of FtsZ, Escherichia coli cells (VIP205) grown in liquid form long nonseptated filaments due to their inability to assemble an FtsZ ring and their failure to recruit subsequent divisome components.

Bacillus subtilis SepF binds to the C-terminus of FtsZ. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Bacterial cell division is mediated by a multi-protein machine known as the "divisome", which assembles at the site of cell division. Formation of the divisome starts with the polymerization of the tubulin-like protein FtsZ into a ring, the Z-ring.

Plant Biology, EarlyView.Benzamides boost crop resilience by inhibiting poly(ADP‐ribose) polymerase (PARP) to enhance stress tolerance and, through their antimicrobial, herbicidal, and insecticidal derivatives, they offer broad protection for sustainable crop improvement. Abstract Benzamides have emerged as potent stress inhibitors and growth promoters in plant biotechnology ...
