Аннотация
FtsZ is a highly conserved protein that performs one of the key roles in cell division of most prokaryotes. At the present time it is believed that the main role of FtsZ in the cells of the microorganisms studied (Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, etc.) is to control the process of cell wall synthesis at the site of future septum. In this regard, the presence of FtsZ in the cells of mycoplasmas – bacteria that lack the cell wall, looks intriguing. In the present work we investigated the influence of FtsZ proteins of three mycoplasmas – Mycoplasma hominis, Mycoplasma gallisepticum and Acholeplasma laidlawii – on the cytokinesis of E. coli. FtsZ proteins were able to interact with the E. coli division machinery, including inhibiting the cytokinesis process, while demonstrating various patterns of distribution in the cell. The data obtained support the hypothesis that FtsZ plays a significant role in the division of mycoplasma cells.
