Elongasome core proteins and class A PBP1a display zonal, processive movement at the midcell of Streptococcus pneumoniae

A. J. Perez, M. M. Lamanna, K. E. Bruce, M. A. Touraev, J. E. Page, S. L. Shaw, H.-C. T. Tsui, M. E. Winkler

This study identifies three types of single-molecule motions of PG synthesis proteins in Streptococcus pneumoniae, revealing zonal, circumferential movement of core elongasome proteins and distinct behaviors of aPBP1a and MpgA.
