Inhibitors of bacterial tubulin target bacterial membranes <i>in vivo</i>

Abstract

The loss of Δ<italic>Ψ</italic> disrupts the normal localization pattern of membrane-associated proteins. The cartoon and images depict the diffuse pattern of a polarly localized protein, MinD after reduction of Δ<italic>Ψ</italic> in <italic>E. coli</italic>. The length of the line across the cell membrane depicts the relative magnitude of Δ<italic>Ψ</italic>.
