| + | [https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/TUBZ_BACTI TUBZ_BACTI] A tubulin-like, filament forming GTPase; the motor component of the type III plasmid partition system which ensures correct segregation of the pBtoxis plasmid. Filaments may seed from the centromere-like site (tubC) when bound by DNA-binding protein TubR; the tubC-TubR complex stabilizes the TubZ filament. Filaments grow at the plus end and depolymerize at the minus end, a process called treadmilling. TubR-tubC complexes track the depolymerizing minus end of the filament, probably pulling plasmid within the cell (PubMed:20534443, PubMed:23010931, PubMed:25825718). Required for pBtoxis plasmid replication/partition (PubMed:16936050, PubMed:17873046). Binds the TubR-tubC complex; GTP is not required for binding to TubR-tubC. TubZ alone does not bind DNA (PubMed:17873046, PubMed:20534443, PubMed:25825718). Has a high GTPase activity in the presence of Mg(2+); in the presence of GTP assembles into dynamic filaments which upon polymerization bind almost exclusively GDP. Filament formation is cooperative, requiring a critical concentration. Formation occurs very quickly and is followed by disassembly as GTP is consumed (PubMed:18198178).<ref>PMID:16936050</ref> <ref>PMID:17873046</ref> <ref>PMID:18198178</ref> <ref>PMID:20534443</ref> <ref>PMID:23010931</ref> <ref>PMID:25825718</ref> | ||

| + | Low copy number plasmids often depend on accurate partitioning systems for their continued survival. Generally, such systems consist of a centromere-like region of DNA, a DNA-binding adaptor, and a polymerizing cytomotive filament. Together these components drive newly replicated plasmids to opposite ends of the dividing cell. The Bacillus thuringiensis plasmid pBToxis relies on a filament of the tubulin/FtsZ-like protein TubZ for its segregation. By combining crystallography and electron microscopy, we have determined the structure of this filament. We explain how GTP hydrolysis weakens the subunit-subunit contact and also shed light on the partitioning of the plasmid-adaptor complex. The double helical superstructure of TubZ filaments is unusual for tubulin-like proteins. Filaments of ParM, the actin-like partitioning protein, are also double helical. We suggest that convergent evolution shapes these different types of cytomotive filaments toward a general mechanism for plasmid separation. | ||
