This study identifies RodZ's role in activating the elongasome in E. coli by interacting with MreB and MreCD, switching MreBCD to an active state to stimulate PG synthesis.

This study identifies how ZapA interacts with FtsZ to facilitate Z ring formation in E. coli by using a dual binding mechanism.

This paper identifies a dual-binding mechanism by which ZapC crosslinks FtsZ filaments, with the FtsZ C-terminal linker modulating interactions with ZapC and other proteins.
