Understanding Cell Cycle of Bacteria Could Lead to New Medications

Cell cycle is the process in which bacteria tightly control their growth and division by specifically destroying key proteins through regulated protein degradation. A collaborative team of scientists including biochemist Peter Chien at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has reconstructed this process. Regulated protein degradation uses specific enzymes called energy dependent proteases to selective destroy certain targets. Because regulated protein degradation ...
