General Description
Invagination of the membrane that occurs after replication to separate daughter cells.
Components
FtsZ(Z ring), FtsA, FtsK, FtsN, FtsI, FtsE, FtsX, etc.
In order to ensure the chromosome doesn't get guillotined, TopoIV and the XerCD recombinase are also localized to the septa, via FtsK, but they are not involved directly in the membrane closure.
Function
Regulation
Z ring formation can be inhibited by sulA (recA- dependent SOS response)
Cell Biology
Experimental Resources
Comparison with other organisms
Notes
Some of the experiments that helped to order the components of this recruitment pathway can be found in Chen et al. (1999)[2], Weiss et al. (1999)[3], and Mercer and Weiss (2002)[4].
