Properties of minD/ ParA superfamily • Structurally similar • ATPase activity • Polymerization • Other playes • dynamic oscillation (ParA)
YFP-MinD/ MinE-CFP The relationship between players Placement of division sites • C: inhibitor of septation • D: membrane recruitment of C • E: topological specificity DNA partition • A: recruited by B • B: recognize parS • S: cis-element in arrays
