**Background of ZapA Recombinant Protein**
ZapA (Z-ring-associated protein A) is a bacterial cytoskeletal protein involved in regulating cell division, primarily studied in model organisms like *Escherichia coli*. It interacts with FtsZ, a tubulin-like GTPase critical for forming the Z-ring, a dynamic structure guiding septum formation during cytokinesis. ZapA stabilizes FtsZ polymers and promotes their bundling, ensuring proper Z-ring assembly and constriction. This functional role makes ZapA essential for maintaining division fidelity, particularly under stress conditions.
Recombinant ZapA proteins are engineered using heterologous expression systems (e.g., *E. coli* or insect cells) to produce purified, functional ZapA for *in vitro* studies. These systems enable high-yield production, often with affinity tags (e.g., His-tags) for simplified purification. Recombinant ZapA retains its native oligomerization capacity, typically forming dimers or tetramers, and binds FtsZ with high affinity. Structural studies, including X-ray crystallography, reveal that ZapA’s N-terminal domain mediates FtsZ interaction, while its C-terminal coiled-coil region facilitates self-association.
Research on recombinant ZapA has advanced understanding of bacterial division mechanics, including how accessory proteins modulate FtsZ dynamics. It also serves as a tool for drug discovery, as disrupting ZapA-FtsZ interactions could inhibit division in pathogenic bacteria. However, ZapA’s non-essential role in some species limits its broad applicability as a therapeutic target. Current studies focus on its interplay with other division proteins (e.g., ZapB, ZapC) and its potential role in antibiotic resistance.
In summary, recombinant ZapA is a vital reagent for dissecting bacterial cytokinesis and exploring antimicrobial strategies, bridging structural biology and translational microbiological research.
