Here we report the cryo-electron microscopy structure of the ZapA-FtsZ complex at 2.73 Å resolution. The complex forms an asymmetric ladder-like structure, in which the double antiparallel FtsZ protofilament on one side and a single protofilament on the other side are tethered by ZapA tetramers. In the complex, the extensive interactions of FtsZ with ZapA cause a structural change of the FtsZ protofilament, and the formation of the double FtsZ protofilament increases electrostatic repulsion. High-speed atomic force microscopy analysis revealed cooperative interactions of ZapA with FtsZ at a molecular level. Our findings not only provide a structural basis for the interaction between FtsZ and ZapA but also shed light on how ZapA binds to FtsZ protofilaments without disturbing FtsZ dynamics to promote cell division. |
