This paper shows that FzlA, an FtsZ-binding protein, conserves its function in activating FtsWI and coordinating chromosome segregation with cell division in diverse alphaproteobacteria.

This study investigates how intrinsic and extrinsic factors regulate FtsZ function in Caulobacter crescentus, revealing roles for GTP hydrolysis, the C-terminal linker, and FtsA in Z-ring dynamics and cell division.

The paper shows that increased glycolysis is neuroprotective in ALS by improving locomotion and lifespan in Drosophila models through glucose transporter and PFK overexpression.

This study investigates how the C-terminal linker of FtsZ in Caulobacter crescentus regulates Z-ring structure and cell wall metabolism, identifying key molecular interactions involved.
