Cell division in vivo and potential reconstitution in vitro. a Simplified depiction of FtsZ and divisome localization by the MinDE-dependent MinC gradient in E. coli. Components of the nucleoid occlusion mechanism, FtsZ-anchoring proteins, the cell wall and other factors discussed in the text are omitted in this scheme for clarity. b Conceptual depiction of a potential realization of synthetic vesicle division based on E. coli division proteins
