Time-lapse imaging of Streptomyces hyphae revealed foci of the essential protein DivIVA at sites where lateral branches will emerge. Overexpression experiments showed that DivIVA foci can trigger establishment of new zones of cell wall assembly, suggesting a key role of DivIVA in directing peptidoglycan synthesis and cell shape in Streptomyces.
对链霉菌菌丝的延时成像显示,必需蛋白DivIVA的聚集点出现在侧枝将要出现的位置。过表达实验表明,DivIVA聚集点可触发新的细胞壁组装区域的形成,这表明DivIVA在指导链霉菌的肽聚糖合成和细胞形态方面发挥关键作用。
