Peptide Linkers within the Essential FtsZ Membrane Tethers ZipA and FtsA Are Nonessential for Cell Division

Bacteria such as divide by organizing filaments of FtsZ, a tubulin homolog that assembles into dynamic treadmilling membrane-associated protein filaments at the cell midpoint. FtsA and ZipA proteins are required to tether these filaments to the inner face of the cytoplasmic membrane, and loss of eit...
