PRC domain-containing proteins modulate FtsZ-based archaeal cell division

P. Nussbaum, D. Kureisaite-Ciziene, D. Bellini, C. van der Does, M. Kojic, N. Taib, S. Gribaldo, M. Loose, J. Loewe, S.-V. Albers

This study identifies PRC domain proteins as essential components of the FtsZ-based cell division machinery in archaea, showing they form complexes with SepF and FtsZ and are required for proper cell division.

The bacterial actin-like cell division protein FtsA forms curved antiparallel double filaments upon binding of FtsN

T. Nierhaus, S. H. McLaughlin, F. Bürmann, D. Kureisaite-Ciziene, S. Maslen, M. J. Skehel, C. W. Yu, S. M. Freund, L. F. Funke, J. W. Chin, J. Löwe

This study shows that FtsA forms curved antiparallel double filaments when bound to FtsN, similar to MreB, and suggests these structures orient septal PG synthesis during bacterial division.

Bactofilins form non-polar filaments that bind to membranes directly

X. Deng, A. Gonzalez Llamazares, J. M. Wagstaff, V. L. Hale, S. McLaughlin, G. Cannone, D. Kureisaite-Ciziene, J. Löwe

This study reveals that bactofilins form non-polar filaments that bind directly to membranes, with conserved N-terminal tails mediating membrane interaction.

A polymerisation-associated conformational switch in FtsZ that enables treadmilling

J. M. Wagstaff, M. Tsim, M. A. Oliva, A. Garcia-Sanchez, D. Kureisaite-Ciziene, J. M. Andreu, J. Lowe

This study identifies a conformational switch in FtsZ that enables treadmilling and cooperative filament assembly during bacterial cell division.
