In vitro reconstitution of divisome activation

P. Radler, N. Baranova, P. Caldas, C. Sommer, M. Lopez-Pelegrin, D. Michalik, M. Loose

This study uses biochemical and imaging methods to investigate how FtsA activates the bacterial divisome by switching between polymer and monomer states, revealing its role in FtsZ dynamics and FtsN recruitment.

ZapA stabilizes FtsZ filament bundles without slowing down treadmilling dynamics

P. Caldas, M. Lopez-Pelegrin, D. J. G. Pearce, N. B. Budanur, J. Brugues, M. Loose

This study shows ZapA stabilizes FtsZ filament bundles in vitro without affecting treadmilling speed, explaining how Z-ring architecture is maintained.

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.
