RodZ acts through MreBCD to activate the elongasome in Escherichia coli

Rui Zhan, Han Gong, Ying Li…·Shishen Du

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.

ZapC crosslinks FtsZ filaments through a dual-binding mechanism modulated by the intrinsically disordered linker of FtsZ

Ying Li, Han Gong, Rui Zhan…·Shishen Du

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.
