Correct positioning of the division plane is essential for the generation of normal offspring. In Caulobacter crescentus, the spatiotemporal control of cell division is mediated by MipZ, a conserved P-loop ATPase forming bipolar gradients with a concentration minimum at the cell centre. Antagonizing the polymerization of the essential divisome component FtsZ, MipZ inhibits divisome assembly near the poles, thereby limiting cytokinesis to midcell. Gradient formation involves a dynamic localization cycle, in which freely diffusible MipZ monomers interact with polar complexes of the centromere-binding protein ParB and then dimerize in an ATP-dependent manner. Dimers dissociate from ParB and are immobilized within the cell through non-specific interaction with chromosomal DNA. Spontaneous ATP hydrolysis triggers disassembly of the complex, releasing MipZ monomers that are recaptured by ParB. How ParB stimulates dimer formation and how DNA-bound dimers inhibit FtsZ assembly is still unknown. We will address these questions by characterizing previously isolated MipZ mutants with FtsZ/ParB interaction defects, using a combination of fluorescence microscopy, two-hybrid analysis, biochemistry, and biophysical techniques such as surface plasmon resonance, microscale thermophoresis or hydrogen-deuterium-exchange mass spectrometry. We will also use synthetic biological and modelling approaches to rebuild the system in a simplistic form to thus gain in-depth knowledge of the function of the different elements.
Are you the coordinator (or a participant) of this project? Plaese send me more information about the "MIPZ" project.
For instance: the website url (it has not provided by EU-opendata yet), the logo, a more detailed description of the project (in plain text as a rtf file or a word file), some pictures (as picture files, not embedded into any word file), twitter account, linkedin page, etc.
Send me an email (fabio@fabiodisconzi.com) and I put them in your project's page as son as possible.
Thanks. And then put a link of this page into your project's website.
