Fig. 6: Interaction network and proposed function for Glp–GlpR.

a, Known direct protein–protein interactions and their associated apparent Kd values. Note that SepF-FtsZ was determined using surface plasmon resonance7, whereas all other measurements were done with BLI (this work). b, Working model of the roles of Glp-GlpR-Wag31 in the divisome–elongasome transition during cytokinesis in Corynebacteriales. At the septum, Glp–GlpR would control the functional status of Wag31 and prevent premature pole formation through excessive Wag31 accumulation. Once cell division is completed, this septal control on Wag31 would disappear and an elongation-competent cell pole could form.
