This study identifies FzlA as a key factor integrating FtsZ, chromosome segregation, and PG synthesis to regulate cell division in Caulobacter.

This study shows FtsN activates septal peptidoglycan synthesis by forming a processive complex with FtsWI on the sPG-track, rather than displacing FtsWI from the Z-track.

This study identifies two distinct processive motions of FtsW in E. coli, driven by FtsZ treadmilling or septal peptidoglycan synthesis, revealing a two-track model for sPG synthesis regulation.

This study shows FtsZ treadmilling drives directional movement of sPG-synthesis enzymes via a Brownian ratchet mechanism, controlling enzyme processivity and sPG synthesis.
