Assembly of bacterial cell division protein FtsZ into dynamic biomolecular condensates

M. A. Robles-Ramos, S. Zorrilla, C. Alfonso, W. Margolin, G. Rivas, B. Monterroso

This study shows FtsZ can form dynamic biomolecular condensates independently of SlmA, suggesting a broader role for phase separation in bacterial cell division.

FtsZ assembles the bacterial cell division machinery by a diffusion-and-capture mechanism

N. Baranova, P. Radler, V. M. Hernandez-Rocamora, C. Alfonso, M. Lopez-Pelegrin, G. Rivas, W. Vollmer, M. Loose

The paper shows FtsZ treadmilling recruits divisome proteins via diffusion-and-capture, explaining how the Z-ring dynamically assembles the bacterial cell division machinery.

The bacterial DNA binding protein MatP involved in linking the nucleoid terminal domain to the divisome at midcell interacts with lipid membranes

B. Monterroso, S. Zorrilla, M. Sobrinos-Sanguino, M. A. Robles-Ramos, C. Alfonso, B. Söderström, N. Y. Meiresonne, J. Verheul, T. den Blaauwen, G. Rivas

The paper shows MatP interacts with lipid membranes in E. coli during cell division, suggesting lipid binding modulates its localization and function without requiring DNA.
