Structural basis for the interaction between the bacterial cell division proteins FtsZ and ZapA
Abstract Cell division in most bacteria is regulated by the tubulin homolog FtsZ as well as ZapA, a FtsZ-associated protein. However, how FtsZ and ZapA function coordinately has remained elusive. Here we report the cryo-electron microscopy structure of the ZapA-FtsZ complex at 2.73 Å resolution. The...
