New publication in Science for Baum lab

Many archaea use ESCRT-III to divide, but how is it controlled? In a ,Ìý³Ù³ó±ðÌýBaum lab shows that the proteasome, which is conserved in both eukaryotes and archaea, is key to the process. It triggers cell division by selectively targeting a structural ESCRT-III filament (purple) at the final stage of cell division, thereby freeing the contractile ESCRT-III filament (green) to constrict the cells.Â
