Assembly properties of bacterial tubulin homolog FtsZ regulated by the positive regulator protein ZipA and ZapA from Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Abstract Bacterial tubulin homolog FtsZ self-assembles into dynamic protofilaments, which forms the scaffold for the contractile ring (Z-ring) to achieve bacterial cell division. Here, we study the biochemical properties of FtsZ from Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PaFtsZ) and the effects of its two positiv...
