At 0.06 mg/ml DEAE dextran on the other hand, straight protofilaments may be associated into sheets faster than hydrolysis, and lateral contacts in the sheet may prevent the protofilaments from adopting the curved conformation.
FtsZ84 produced normal sheets of straight protofilaments in 0.06 mg/ml DEAE dextran, but they were abnormal in also producing sheets at 0.6 mg/ml DEAE dextran (with GTP).
The only structure that could bridge a 5.3 nm spacing is the N-terminal segment, which is highly extended in Methanococcus FtsZ and perhaps also in E. coli . It seems clear from the dimensional analysis that the lateral residues we mutated could not form the bridges between protofilaments in the DEAE dextran sheets.
A third class of mutations mapped to the sides of protofilaments.
At 1 mg/ml FtsZ, 0.06 mg/ml DEAE dextran gives sheets of straight protofilaments, whereas with 0.6 mg/ml DEAE dextran the polymers were mostly helical tubes.
