Figure 3: The relationships between FtsZ treadmilling and PG enzyme complex movement and activity vary across organisms.

Figure 3:

A. E. coli bears both fast, inactive (dark green) and slow, active (light green) moving PG enzyme populations, and FtsZ treadmilling rates correlate with the former. B. B. subtilis inactive and active PG enzyme complexes comprise a single population of moving molecules that correlates with and depends on FtsZ treadmilling. C. S. pneumoniae inactive and active PG enzyme complexes comprise a single population of moving molecules that does not correlate with or depend on FtsZ treadmilling. D. S. aureus has a moving population of PG enzyme complexes and treadmilling FtsZ, but the rates of each have yet to be determined.
