Site-specific mutations of FtsZ - effects on GTPase and in vitro assembly

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>FtsZ, the major cytoskeletal protein in bacterial cytokinesis, assembles in vitro into protofilaments, which can further associate into sheets, bundles or tubes. We have constructed 16 site-directed mutants of <it>E. coli ftsZ&...
