Processive movement of Staphylococcus aureus essential septal peptidoglycan synthases is independent of FtsZ treadmilling and drives cell constriction

S. Schaeper, A. D. Brito, B. M. Saraiva, G. R. Squyres, M. J. Holmes, E. C. Garner, Z. Hensel, R. Henriques, M. G. Pinho

This study shows that FtsW/PBP1 and DivIB move processively around the division site in S. aureus, driving cell constriction independently of FtsZ treadmilling.
