摘要: Bacteria of different shapes have adopted distinct mechanisms to faithfully coordinate morphogenesis and segregate their chromosomes prior to cell division. Despite recent focuses and advances, the mechanism of cell division in ovococci remains largely unknown. Streptococcus suis, a major zoonotic pathogen that causes problems in human health and in the global swine industry, is an elongated and ellipsoid bacterium that undergoes successive parallel splitting perpendicular to its long axis. Studies on cell cycle processes in this bacterium are limited. Here, we report that MsmK (multiple sugar metabolism protein K), an ATPase that contributes to the transport of multiple carbohydrates, has a novel role as a cell division protein in S. suis. MsmK can display ATPase and GTPase activities, interact with FtsZ via the N terminus of MsmK, and promote the bundling of FtsZ protofilaments in a GTP-dependent manner in vitro. Deletion of the C-terminal region or the Walker A or B motif affects the affinity between MsmK and FtsZ and decreases the ability of MsmK to promote FtsZ protofilament bundling. MsmK can form a complex with FtsZ in vivo, and its absence is not lethal but results in long chains and short, occasionally anuclear daughter cells. Superresolution microscopy revealed that the lack of MsmK in cells leads to normal septal peptidoglycan walls in mother cells but disturbed cell elongation and peripheral peptidoglycan synthesis. In summary, MsmK is a novel cell division protein that maintains cell shape and is involved in the synthesis of the peripheral cell wall. IMPORTANCE Bacterial cell division is a highly ordered process regulated in time and space and is a potential target for the development of antimicrobial drugs. Bacteria of distinct shapes depend on different cell division mechanisms, but the mechanisms used by ovococci remain largely unknown. Here, we focused on the zoonotic pathogen Streptococcus suis and identified a novel cell division protein named MsmK, which acts as an ATPase of the ATP-binding cassette-type carbohydrate transport system. MsmK has GTPase and ATPase activities. In vitro protein assays showed that MsmK interacts with FtsZ and promotes FtsZ protofilament bundling that relies on GTP. Superresolution microscopy revealed that MsmK maintains cell shape and is involved in peripheral peptidoglycan synthesis. Knowledge of the multiple functions of MsmK may broaden our understanding of known cell division processes. Further studies in this area will elucidate how bacteria can faithfully and continually multiply in a constantly changing environment.
