FtsL and FtsB are two inner-membrane proteins that are essential constituents of the cell division apparatus of Escherichia coli. In this study, we demonstrate that the leucine zipper-like (LZ) motifs, located in the periplasmic domain of FtsL and FtsB, are required for an optimal interaction between these two essential proteins.
FtsL 和 FtsB 是两种内膜蛋白,是大肠杆菌细胞分裂装置的基本组成部分。在这项研究中,我们证明了位于 FtsL 和 FtsB 周质域的亮氨酸拉链样 (LZ) 基序对于这两种必需蛋白之间的最佳相互作用是必需的。
