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…
Regulation of Pom cluster dynamics in Myxococcus xanthus
Silke Bergeler, Erwin Frey
Precise positioning of the cell division site is essential for the correct segregation of the genetic material into the two daughter cells. In the bacterium Myxococcus xanthus, the…
