FTSZ B. SUBTILIS
Overview
FtsZ is a prokaryotic homologue of the eukaryotic cytoskeletal protein, tubulin and plays a central role in prokaryotic cell division. Both FtsZ, and tubulin are known to pass through cycles of polymerization and, depolymerization, but the structural mechanisms underlying this cycle, remain to be determined. Comparison of tubulin structures obtained in, different states has led to a model in which the tubulin monomer undergoes, a conformational switch between a "straight" form found in the walls of, microtubules and a "curved" form associated with depolymerization, and it, was proposed recently that this model may apply also to FtsZ. Here, we, present new structures of FtsZ from47 Aquifex aeolicus,47 Bacillus, subtilis, Methanococcus jannaschii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa that provide, ... [(full description)]
