Cooperative ordering of treadmilling filaments in cytoskeletal networks of FtsZ and its crosslinker ZapA

The Z-ring, constituted of the tubulin homolog FtsZ protein, plays an essential role for bacterial cell division. Here the authors use an in vitro reconstitution approach to determine how the regulatory protein ZapA affects FtsZ treadmilling and filament organization into large-scale patterns.
