Lateral interactions between protofilaments of the bacterial tubulin homolog FtsZ are essential for cell division

The prokaryotic tubulin homolog FtsZ polymerizes into protofilaments, which further assemble into higher-order structures at future division sites to form the Z-ring, a dynamic structure essential for bacterial cell division. The precise nature of interactions between FtsZ protofilaments that organi...
