Inhibition of cell division initiation by an imbalance in the ratio of FtsA to FtsZ
S J Dewar et al. J Bacteriol. 1992 Oct.
Abstract
Elevated levels of FtsA protein block cell division at a very early stage, similar to that caused by inhibition of the action of FtsZ. In contrast, overexpression of FtsA and FtsZ together does not block division. A specific ratio of FtsA to FtsZ protein, therefore, is required for cell division.
