摘要
DivIB, DivIC and FtsL are bacterial proteins essential for cell division, which show interdependencies for their stabilities and localization. We have reconstituted in vitro a trimeric complex consisting of the recombinant extracellular domains of the three proteins from Streptococcus pneumoniae. The extracellular domain of DivIB was found to associate with a heterodimer of those of DivIC and FtsL. The heterodimerization of DivIC and FtsL was artificially constrained by fusion with interacting coiled-coils. Immunofluorescence experiments showed that DivIC is always localized at mid-cell, in contrast to DivIB and FtsL, which are co-localized with DivIC only during septation. Taken together, our data suggest that assembly of the trimeric complex DivIB/DivIC/FtsL is regulated during the cell cycle through controlled formation of the DivIC/FtsL heterodimer.
