Theory of Active Intracellular Transport by DNA-relaying
Christian Hanauer, Silke Bergeler, Erwin Frey +1
The spatiotemporal organization of bacterial cells is crucial for the active segregation of replicating chromosomes. In several species, including Caulobacter crescentus, the ATPas…
Can a flux-based mechanism explain positioning of protein clusters in a three-dimensional cell geometry?
Matthias Kober, Silke Bergeler, Erwin Frey
The plane of bacterial cell division must be precisely positioned. In the bacterium Myxococcus xanthus, the proteins PomX and PomY form a large cluster, which is tethered to the nu…
The PomXYZ Proteins Self-Organize on the Bacterial Nucleoid to Stimulate Cell Division
Dominik Schumacher, Silke Bergeler, Andrea Harms +4
Cell division site positioning is precisely regulated to generate correctly sized and shaped daughters. We uncover a novel strategy to position the FtsZ cytokinetic ring at midcell…
