The role of active mRNA-ribosome dynamics and closing constriction in daughter chromosome separation in Escherichia coli

Chathuddasie I. Amarasinghe, Mu-Hung Chang, Jaana Männik, Scott T. Retterer, Maxim O. Lavrentovich, Jaan Männik

This study investigates how mRNA-ribosome dynamics and division septum mechanics contribute to daughter chromosome separation in E. coli, finding that while ribosome aggregation aids separation, other forces also play a role.

Regulation of FtsZ levels in Escherichia coli in slow growth conditions

Jaana Männik, Bryant E. Walker, Jaan Männik

This study shows FtsZ concentration in E. coli varies during the cell cycle in slow growth, with synthesis upregulation followed by ClpXP-mediated degradation, controlling Z-ring formation.
