Abstract

Chloroplast division requires the formation of an FtsZ division ring, its positioning being regulated by the proteins MinD and MinE. MCD1 is a plant-specific protein that directly interacts with MinD and is required for MinD localization to regulate FtsZ ring formation [ 1 ].


1. Plant-specific protein MCD1 determines the site of chloroplast division in concert with bacteria-derived MinD. Curr. Biol. 19, 151-6
