Fig. 1. — Asymmetric cell division and the role of SpoIIE. (A) In the pre-divisional cell (upper) and the mother cell (MC) following cell division (lower), SpoIIAA (AA) is phosphorylated and σ^F is in a complex with SpoIIAB (AB₂). In the forespore (FS), σ^F is free and AA and AB are in complex. SpoIIE (E) accumulates at the asymmetric septum, a double membrane structure. (B) The putative three domain structure of SpoIIE. The limits of the putative FtsZ-binding domain are uncertain.
