Supplementary Figure 6: FtsA destabilizes the FtsZ filament network also in presence of ZipA.
From: The bacterial cell division proteins FtsA and FtsZ self-organize into dynamic cytoskeletal patterns
Left, mean intensity traces for FtsZ depolymerization upon rapid dilution for FtsZ filaments recruited to the membrane by ZipA and FtsA. Right: mean disassembly times obtained from double-exponential fits, error bars and thin lines correspond to s.e.m, (n = 3 independent experiments). Bottom: Representative snapshots showing disassembly of FtsZ filaments after dilution (time point of dilution is indicated by orange arrowhead and dashed line). In the presence of both anchors, ZipA and FtsA, no thick bundles of FtsZ persist on the membrane. Fluorescence intensity of each frame was normalized.
