From: Structural features of the interaction of MapZ with FtsZ and membranes in Streptococcus pneumoniae
Different states for MapZ and its interaction partners: a complex equilibrium in vivo. The cytoplasmic membrane, the FtsZ monomers, the peptidoglycan, are shown in light blue, as green balls, and as green cross-linked hexagons, respectively. The structural features of MapZ are reported with the ribbon structures of the two extracytoplasmic domains determined by NMR connected with the flexible serine-rich linker in yellow and with the transmembrane and cytoplasmic transient amphipathic helices schematized in blue. Interaction sites and complex formation are visualized through spatial proximity.
