This paper shows that CtrA is regulated by cell cycle- and compartment-specific proteolysis as well as cell cycle regulated phosphorylation. Expression of a stable, constitutively active CtrA mutant causes G1 arrest. Thus, the paradigm of phosphorylated cell cycle regulatory proteins that are cleared from the cell by proteolysis at the G1-S transition is conserved in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

The authors propose a model for a cell cycle phosphorelay controlling CtrA phosphorylation. It is demonstrated that a deletion of the essential DivK single-domain response regulator can be suppressed by a point mutation in CtrA. The authors present in vitro evidence that the DivJ histidine kinase preferentially phosphorylates DivK rather than CtrA, and show that phosphorylated CtrA regulates in vitro transcription of Class II flagellar genes.

The authors show that transcriptional regulation and cell type-specific proteolysis control FtsZ levels during the cell cycle. Transcription increases in S phase, when FtsZ protein is stable and the Z-ring forms. Constriction of the Z-ring coincides with termination of replication, repression of transcription, and protein instability.

Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 1998,95:120-125. This is the first demonstration of a response regulator controlling the initiation of replication. It does so by binding directly to five sites in the origin of replication. Mutation of one of these sites in an oriC-plasmid causes unregulated replication and abolishes CtrA binding to that site.

Cell 1997, 88:667-674. Tandem arrays of Lacl binding sites integrated at the origin and at the terminus of the chromosome were visualized in vivo using a GFP-Lacl fusion protein. It is demonstrated that chromosomal origins of replication are primarily in bipolar orientation, whereas the termini are found oriented toward midcell.

Mol Microbiol 1998, 28:883-892. Time-lapse visualization of Lacl-GFP bound to the origin demonstrates that the sister origins segregate rapidly at a discrete point of the cell cycle to opposite poles of the cell.

The authors demonstrate that the SpoOJ partitioning protein binds several sites near the B. subtilis origin of replication in vivo. One Spo0J binding site is sufficient to mediate accurate partitioning of a plasmid and the chromosomal binding sites are required for accurate chromosome segregation.

The authors report the cloning and characterization of the Caulobacter ParA and ParB homologs and demonstrate that they are involved in chromosome segregation. Immunofluorescence of epitope-tagged ParA and ParB shows that the proteins colocalize bipolarly in the predivisional cell.

Cell 1997, 90:1113-1121. In this paper chromosome and plasmid segregation in E. coli were visualized in vivo. The chromosome origin is localized bipolarly with the terminus oriented toward midcell. The plasmids are localized to the 1/4 and 3/4 positions or at midcell.

It is shown in this paper that the carboxyl terminus of FtsZ is required for interaction with FtsA using the two-hybrid system. The carboxyl terminus is also required for proper localization and function of FtsZ in vivo.
