RodZ acts through MreBCD to activate the elongasome in Escherichia coli

Rui Zhan, Han Gong, Ying Li, Yuanyuan Cui, Xiangdong Chen, Joe Lutkenhaus, Shishen Du

This study identifies RodZ's role in activating the elongasome in E. coli by interacting with MreB and MreCD, switching MreBCD to an active state to stimulate PG synthesis.

Systematic identification of cell division proteins in haloarchaea and the discovery of a membrane anchor for the Z ring

Wenchao Zheng, Shan Zhao, Yafei Liu, Cui J, Xiaoyao Zou, Ying Li, Han Gong, Xiangdong Chen, Joe Lutkenhaus, Fabai Wu, Shishen Du

This study identifies ten cell division proteins in Haloferax volcanii using CLIP-MS, with CdpC functioning as a membrane anchor for FtsZ1 and containing zinc fingers critical for its role.

ZapA employs a two-pronged mechanism to facilitate Z ring formation in Escherichia coli

Yuanyuan Cui, Han Gong, Di Yan, Hao Li, Wenjie Yang, Ying Li, Xiangdong Chen, Joe Lutkenhaus, S Huang, Xinxing Yang, Shishen Du

This study identifies how ZapA interacts with FtsZ to facilitate Z ring formation in E. coli by using a dual binding mechanism.

ZapC crosslinks FtsZ filaments through a dual-binding mechanism modulated by the intrinsically disordered linker of FtsZ

Ying Li, Han Gong, Rui Zhan, Yuanyuan Cui, Xiangdong Chen, Joe Lutkenhaus, Shishen Du

This paper identifies a dual-binding mechanism by which ZapC crosslinks FtsZ filaments, with the FtsZ C-terminal linker modulating interactions with ZapC and other proteins.
