Dynamical Localization of DivL and PleC in the Asymmetric Division Cycle of Caulobacter crescentus: A Theoretical Investigation of Alternative Models
Fig 2
Two scenarios for the function of PleC (kinase or phosphatase) in the early predivisional cell.
Spatiotemporal dynamics of PleC (green) and DivL (dark blue) during the cell cycle under two scenarios for the functional transition of PleC. In scenario 1, PleC is a kinase in early PD cells, as suggested in [54–56]. In scenario 2, PleC is a phosphatase in early PD cells, as described in the protection by dephosphorylation model [45,53].
