NIH grant awarded to University of Rhode Island for research on bacterial cell division, specifically the assembly and regulation of the divisome and its role in antibiotic tolerance.
Description
This NIH grant supports research on bacterial cell division mechanisms, focusing on the assembly and regulation of the divisome, interactions of division proteins, and their role in antibiotic tolerance. The study aims to elucidate molecular determinants regulating co-assembly of FtsA-FtsZ copolymers, ordered interactions of FtsN during division, and the interplay of division proteins with the TCA cycle in E. coli.
