Polar localization of the MinD protein of Bacillus subtilis and its role in selection of the mid-cell division site
Open accessAbstract
Cell division in rod-shaped bacteria is initiated by formation of a ring of the tubulin-like protein FtsZ at mid-cell. Division site selection is controlled by a conserved division inhibitor MinCD, which prevents aberrant division at the cell poles. The Bacillus subtilis DivIVA protein controls the topological specificity of MinCD action. Here we show that DivIVA is targeted to division sites late in their assembly, after some MinCD-sensitive step requiring FtsZ and other division proteins has been passed. DivIVA then recruits MinD to the division sites preventing another division from taking place near the newly formed cell poles. Sequestration of MinD to the poles also releases the next mid-cell sites for division. Remarkably, this mechanism of DivIVA action is completely different from that of the equivalent protein MinE of Escherichia coli, even though both systems operate via the same division inhibitor MinCD.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
