Components of the divisome. The twelve proteins that make up the essential components of the divisome in E. coli are indicate along with their functions. These include the Fts proteins, indicated by a capital letter, and ZipA. FtsZ assembles into a filament that is a scaffold for assembly of the complete divisome. FtsZ filaments are attached to the membrane by a short conserved C-termimal peptide (small yellow box) which binds to FtsA and ZipA.
