Evidence for biomolecular condensates of MatP in spatiotemporal regulation of the bacterial cell division cycle

|

| BioRxiv
Abstract An increasing number of proteins involved in bacterial cell cycle events have been recently shown to undergo phase separation. The resulting biomolecular condensates play an important role in cell cycle protein function and may be involved in development of persister cells tolerant to antibiotics. Here we report that the E.

Bacterial cell cycle regulator MatP forms biomolecular condensates and directly interacts with cell division protein FtsZ

|
By Miguel Ángel Robles-Ramos, Marta Sobrinos-Sanguino, Juan Román Luque-Ortega, Ines Barros-Medina
| BioRxiv
Abstract Bacterial cytokinesis is driven by a contractile ring of FtsZ protein polymers at midcell. FtsZ can also form phase-separated biomolecular condensates with potential implications for cytokinesis and development of antibiotic-tolerant persister cells. In Escherichia coli, FtsZ ring positioning depends in part on the MatP protein, which binds DNA sites (matS) in the chromosome terminus region and indirectly interacts with FtsZ through two other proteins.
