Backbone and side chain NMR assignments for the N-terminal domain of the cell division regulator MinC from Bacillus subtilis

Biomolecular NMR Assignments
Patricia CastellenAna Carolina de Mattos Zeri

Abstract

Bacterial cell division proteins must assemble at the middle of the cell to ensure the viability of both daughter cells. The first step in the assembly of the cell division apparatus is the polymerization of the tubulin-like protein FtsZ into a ring-shaped scaffold, the Z-ring. The Min system contributes to the spatial precision of division by inhibiting FtsZ polymerization at the cell poles. The component of this system that interacts with FtsZ is MinC, a 25 kDa protein that has two domains. The N-terminal domain of MinC is the main responsible for FtsZ inhibition, being sufficient to block Z-ring assembly when overexpressed in vivo, and to inhibit FtsZ polymerization in vitro. Despite intensive studies, little is known about the MinC binding site for FtsZ. We have assigned the backbone and side chain resonances of the MinC N-terminal domain of Bacillus subtilis through NMR spectroscopy. These assignments provide the basis to characterize the interaction between the N-terminal domain of MinC and FtsZ by NMR methods.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
