FtsZ Protein, E.coli (His-SUMO)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

FtsZ is an essential cell division protein that plays a central role in coordinating the formation of the contractile Z ring at the site of expected cell division. Precise regulation of the components of this ring is a key determinant, affecting the timing and location of cell division. FtsZ Protein, E.coli (His-SUMO) is the recombinant E. coli-derived FtsZ protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-SUMO, N-6*His labeled tag.

Background

FtsZ (Filamenting temperature-sensitive mutant Z) protein is an indispensable component of cell division, playing a central role in the formation of the contractile ring structure known as the Z ring at the future site of cell division. The assembly of this ring is crucial for regulating the timing and location of cell division. Functionally, the FtsZ ring serves to recruit various other cell division proteins to the septum, facilitating the synthesis of a new cell wall between dividing cells. As a GTP-binding protein with intrinsic GTPase activity, FtsZ exists as a homodimer and polymerizes to create a dynamic ring structure in a strictly GTP-dependent manner. This dynamic interaction with GTP and its ability to form the Z ring are essential features, highlighting FtsZ's pivotal role in orchestrating the complex process of bacterial cell division. Moreover, FtsZ directly interacts with several other division proteins, emphasizing its central role in coordinating the molecular events necessary for successful cell division (
