Cardiolipin synthase A colocalizes with cardiolipin and osmosensing transporter ProP at the poles of Escherichia coli cells

What is it about?

Bacterial cells have intricate internal structures. The spatial organization of constituent molecules is critical for cell life and survival. Cardiolipin is a key structural and functional constituent of the membrane surrounding each <i>Escherichia coli</i> cell. This report shows that the structure and localization of an enzyme that catalyzes cardiolipin synthesis (ClsA) may contribute to the grouping of cardiolipin with particular proteins at bacterial cell poles.
