Assembly of Cell Division Apparatus in E. coli

Explore how various proteins come together to form the cell division apparatus in E. coli, starting with FtsZ polymerization to the anchoring of the Z-ring to the plasma membrane by FtsA and ZipA. Discover the functions of these proteins in the cellular division process. Source: Prescott 7th edition, 2009.

  1. FIGURAFormazione dell'apparato preposto alla divisione cellulare in E. coli - L'apparato preposto alla divisione cellulare è composta da numerose proteine che si pensa possano assemblarsi nell'ordine indicato. Il processo prende avvio con la polimerizzazione della proteina FtsZ che forma l'anello Z. In seguito le proteine FtsA e ZipA (in Bacillus subtilis forse la ZapA ) ancorano l'anello Z alla membrana plasmatica. Nonostante sia stato ormai accertato che tutte queste proteine costituiscano l'apparato di divisione cellulare solo di alcune di esse è nota attualmente la funzione. (Da: Prescott 7e, 2009)
