Initial Exercise: Katy, Heather, Marta and Veronica

Fusion of Div IVA protein with GFP

Role of Div IVA

Div IVA controls septum positioning in Bacillus Subtilis

Mutants show

  • inhibition of cell division initiation*
  • abnormally placed septum*
  • some small anucleate cells*

Reasons for choice

  • constitutively expressed*
  • Distinct characteristic distribution that is easy to observe*
  • successful divIVA-GFP fusion documented by Edwards and ERrington, 1997*
