DESCRIPTION:The ancestral tubulin homologue FtsZ is essential for cell div
 ision in almost all bacteria. FtsZ localises to the mid-cell as a dense ba
 nd\, known as the Z-ring\, where it recruits and directs the cell wall syn
 thesis proteins that build a mid-cell crosswall (septum).\n\nSeveral years
  ago\, we and others discovered that FtsZ filaments move around the cell s
 urface by a type of motion known as treadmilling. This is where cytoskelet
 on filaments - actin being the best known example - move by plus end polym
 erization and minus end depolymerization.\nI will discuss our progress tow
 ards understanding the functional role of FtsZ dynamics in bacterial cell 
 division in the Gram-positive model organism Bacillus subtilis. \n\nBiogra
