| Abstract | dc.description.abstract | FtsZ (Filamentous temperature sensitivity Z) cell division protein from Escherichia coli binds the fluorescence probe DAPI. Bundling
of FtsZ was facilitated in the presence of DAPI, and the polymers in solution remained polymerized longer time than the protofilaments
formed in the absence of DAPI. DAPI decreased both the maximal velocity of the GTPase activity and the Michaelis–Menten constant
for GTP, indicating that behaves like an uncompetitive inhibitor of the GTPase activity favoring the GTP form of FtsZ in the polymers.
The results presented in this work support a cooperative polymerization mechanism in which the binding of DAPI favors protofilament
lateral interactions and the stability of the resulting polymers. | en_US |
