Dataset Summary
TitleMapZ phosphorylation mediates EzrA recruitment to the division septum of Streptococcus pneumoniae
DescriptionProtein phosphorylation plays a critical role in the regulation of cell division and morphogenesis in many bacterial species. In Streptococcus pneumoniae, the unique serine/threonine kinase StkP phosphorylates several cell division proteins, including MapZ. MapZ dictates the positioning of the divisome, the cell division machinery, at the division septum through direct interaction with FtsZ, a conserved tubulin-like protein that forms a dynamic ring (Z-ring) required for the assembly of the divisome. While the molecular mechanisms by which MapZ localizes to the mid-cell and drives the divisome at the mid-cell are well characterized, the function of the phosphorylation of MapZ remains enigmatic. In this study, drawing from biochemical and microscopy approaches, we disentangled the role of MapZ phosphorylation in pneumococcal cell division. We provided evidence that MapZ interacts with EzrA, a cell division protein involved in the assembly and stability of the Z-ring. Using a series of interaction assays, we further demonstrated that this interaction is modulated by the phosphorylation of MapZ and that MapZ phosphorylation influences the localization and dynamics of EzrA. Last and importantly, we examined the localization of MapZ, EzrA and StkP at the single-cell level using fluorescent fusion proteins in pairwise and triple-wise combinations. This analysis demonstrated that the three proteins exhibit distinct localization patterns, thereby allowing the interaction between unphosphorylated MapZ and EzrA only at a specific late stage of the cell cycle. In conclusion, the findings support a model in which MapZ phosphorylation fine-tunes the localization and dynamics of EzrA, thereby ensuring proper cell division.
