Stromal protein ARC3 exerts inhibitory effects on FtsZ assembly in E. coli cells. (A) Effect of ARC3 expression on AtFtsZ2 filaments and Z ring-like structures. Scale bar: 5 μm. (B) Quantification of ARC3 inhibition of AtFtsZ2 filament formation. The graph shows the percentage of cells containing sfGFP-AtFtsZ2 filaments that extended over half the cell length along the long axis. At least 118 elongated bacterial cells were investigated for the quantification. (C) Quantification of ARC3 inhibition of AtFtsZ2 Z ring-like structure formation. The graph shows the number of sfGFP-AtFtsZ2-2MTS Z ring-like structures per 1 μm of cell length. The mean and standard deviation were calculated from at least 89 cell samples.
