There is, however, a second type of lateral contact that can assemble protofilament sheets or pairs with a much closer spacing.
We have tested 16 site-directed mutants of E. coli FtsZ for assembly and GTPase activity in vitro, and for whether they can function in vivo to complement ftsZ84 . Mutations on the front and back of the FtsZ protofilament were mostly benign: they had normal in vitro assembly, and could complement ftsZ84 . Several of these, however, had significantly reduced in vitro GTPase, demonstrating that the high level of GTPase is not essential for assembly or function in vivo.
We have not yet examined FtsZ84 for assembly of protofilaments in GTP and protofilament sheets in calcium.
In GTP plus 10 mM EDTA, or in 10 mM GTP (which also chelates the Mg), the D209A protein assembled into protofilament bundles that formed long spirals or closed circular hoops (Fig.
A second group of mutants mapped to the sides of the subunits, which we originally believed to be the surfaces that bond protofilaments to each other in the protofilament sheets (see Discussion).
