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.

Conformational changes in the essential E. coli septal cell wall synthesis complex suggest an activation mechanism

B. M. Britton, R. A. Yovanno, S. F. Costa, J. McCausland, A. Y. Lau, J. Xiao, Z. Hensel

This study models the E. coli divisome core complex using structure prediction and simulations, revealing how FtsN activates cell wall synthesis by tethering FtsI and FtsL.
