Mycobacterium tuberculosis FtsB and PerM interact via a C-terminal helix in FtsB to modulate cell division

Zach Hensel, Ruilan Xu, João Ramalheira Ferreira

The paper investigates the interaction between PerM and FtsB in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, showing that PerM stabilizes FtsB through a C-terminal helix, and suggests this interaction as a therapeutic target for persistent infections.
