Role of the FtsA C Terminus as a Switch for Polymerization and Membrane Association

ABSTRACT Together with ATP, the C-terminal region of the essential streptococcal FtsA protein acts as an intramolecular switch to promote its polymerization and attachment to the membrane. During septation, FtsA is known to anchor the constricting FtsZ ring and, subsequently, the divisome to the mem...
